AWAKENING FROM THE AMERICAN DREAM

I am a daughter of the American Dream.

A descendant of its promise, its illusion, its carefully constructed facade and fantasy. It was passed down to me like an inheritance, stitched into my bloodline long before I arrived. My ancestors believed in it. They chased it, sacrificed for it, built their lives around it, put their blood, sweat, tears, hopes and dreams for the future into it, convinced that one day, it would deliver them into something real. It has delivered us to this present here and now moment. 

But a dream is not reality.

And so we remained inside of it. Not because we were weak, but because we didn’t know any other way. Generation after generation, we carried the dream forward, believing in its magic even as it failed us. Because to wake up—to truly wake up—meant confronting the truth that it was never designed for all of us to succeed. That it was always a game of control, keeping us running in circles, believing we were free while we were bound.

But now, the spell is breaking.

The veil is lifting, and we are seeing it all for what it is. This is the Age of Aquarius—the age of truth, of consciousness, of revelation. The age where we no longer have the luxury of remaining asleep. Technology has torn through the illusion. We see the system. We see the way power has been hoarded, how we were conditioned to equate our worth with labor, how the pursuit of “happiness” was just another form of control. We see now that this was never just an American illusion, but a global one. A planetary one.

That we were never just individual players in the game, but pieces of a much larger system designed to keep us small.

And we? We are the generation that changes it all.

We are waking up. Finally.

And waking up is not easy. It means facing everything we were taught to ignore. It means grieving the illusion, letting go of the stories we were given, and stepping into something unknown. It means reclaiming the power we were never supposed to realize we had—the power to create, to define, to build something beyond the blueprint we were handed.

The dream is dissolving.

And now, we remember why we came here.

To break the cycle. To awaken the world. To step fully into the truth that has always lived within us.

Because it was all a dream, darling.

And now, we rise.

We awaken.
