Breakthrough Story: From Cold Blooded Escapism to Heart warming Dharma

🌑 Breakthrough Story: From Escapism to Embodied Dharma

1. Before – The Misfit's Mirror

I grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other. Childhood was warm, full of friends and familiar faces—until high school, when things began to crack. Genuine friendship became harder to find, and I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror without a crushing darkness emerging from within.. I felt like a black sheep in every room. No matter how hard I searched for my tribe, I always ended up the outsider—too sensitive, too curious, too different.

At the time, I didn’t have the words for it. I just knew I didn’t belong to the script others seemed to be following. I sought escape in video games, girls, and porn—immersing myself in fantasies that felt safer than genuine honest connection. I rejected my feminine energy, silenced my softness, and buried my sadness beneath obsession.

2. Crisis – The Soul Can't Digest What the Mind Denies

I tried to fix myself externally. I went to the gym, got stronger, tried to carve a version of myself that could belong. But I burned out—physically weaker, emotionally numb, and spiritually dry. My body began to rebel. Digestive issues, chronic tension, and anxiety overtook me. It felt like I couldn’t digest life itself.

Even surrounded by people at university, I felt alone—like a ghost wandering through noise. Something was crying out from deep within me. The pain became too loud to ignore. I realized: this wasn’t just discomfort. This was a spiritual emergency. My soul was calling me home.

3. Chase – Searching Through Silence

I began writing. Journaling became my sacred offering to heal oneself, my altar. Through the daily pages, I started meeting myself as a friendly friend not a deadly foe—in soft slow waves of appreciation.. I immersed myself in the Self-Authoring program by Jordan Peterson. I nosedived into the world of philosophy and psychology —Jung, Fromm, Alan Watts. Their words fathered me in a way no one in my life had before.

I studied mindfulness, nutrition, and stoicism as. I became obsessed with transformation on my terms.. My pain became a portal into self knowledge. I searched for meaning in every shadow of doubt and ignorance.. Yet underneath, I still feared being seen. I still carried shame for being different.So, I deleted social media. I hid my gifts. I told myself I needed more time—but really, I feared rejection.

4. Conflict – Lost in the Labyrinth of Self

Eventually, my escape became its own prison. I spiraled into partying, distractions, and religious escapism. I chased spiritual circles and theological systems, hoping one would fix me. But behind the scenes, I still clung to pleasure as a quick fix—porn, sex, approval. I was fractured, disconnected, and painfully aware of it.

The deepest pain wasn’t rejection by others—it was self-abandonment. I had gifts I wasn’t sharing. I had wisdom I was afraid to embody. People framed me as delusional, too much, or idealistic. I began believing them. It felt like I was cursed for being me.

The hardest moment came when I finally stopped running. When I faced the very things I hated about myself—and realized they were clues to my medicine. My emotional sensitivity wasn’t a flaw. It was sacred intelligence. My obsessions weren’t distractions. They were initiations. My path wasn’t a punishment. It was a poem waiting to be spoken.

5. Breakthrough – The Shift From Fitting In to Transmitting Truth

My breakthrough wasn’t a big event. It was a series of quiet recognitions, whispers from the universe in the form of kind strangers, deep books, and sudden stillness.

I realized: I am here to create, not conform. I’m not meant to fit into the collective. I’m here to help evolve it and transmute its misery into compassion.

When I began sharing my writing again—just a few pieces here and there—I felt something unlock. Peace. Clarity. Purpose. Every time I spoke from my depths, someone reached out and said, “I thought I was the only one.” I saw that my pain had become poetry. My shame had become soul-guidance. I didn’t need to heal to be worthy—I only needed to express.

6. After – The Path of the Soul-Scribe

Now, I see my obsessive mind as a gift—one that helps me distill complex truths into simple, loving insights. I feel called to teach, to write, to speak—to be a lighthouse for those still lost in the fog of self-rejection.

My dharma is clear: to guide others into the arms of self-acceptance through embodying my own. I continue to explore my shadow, not as a burden, but as a map. I’ve learned to trust life, even when it hurts. To listen to the lessons in discomfort. To allow my sensitivity to lead.

I no longer try to “fix” people or change them. I listen. I feel. I reflect. I create. And in doing so, I remind others that they are whole, even in their becoming.

What saved me was never a doctrine or system—it was creative surrender. The moment I stopped trying to be “enough” and started sharing what I already was, everything changed.

This is the power of story. Of presence. Of truth spoken aloud.

And this is what I now teach others to do—one word, one breath, one act of courage at a time.
