"The United States Is Now in a Very Dark Place"

 And Pretending Everything's Fine Won’t Save Us

Right now, there’s a strange heaviness in the American air.

It’s in the rising cost of eggs and insulin.
In the way we scroll for hours but feel more lost.
In the political ads that look more like war films than democracy.

No matter where you stand — left, right, center, or disillusioned — you can feel it:
The United States is in a very dark place.

1. The Cost of Living Has Become the Cost of Breathing

The American Dream has always sold itself as this:
Work hard. Play fair. You’ll make it.

But in 2025, here's what that actually looks like:

  • Rent eats up over 50% of your income.

  • Groceries feel like a luxury.

  • Credit card debt is at an all-time high ($1.12 trillion+).

  • People are working two jobs and still can’t afford basic healthcare.

For most Americans, financial survival has replaced financial freedom. And with inflation still outpacing wages, “getting ahead” has become a myth sold by people who already made it.

2. America Is Connected — But More Alone Than Ever

We live in the most digitally connected country in the world, yet:

  • Loneliness is now considered a public health crisis by the U.S. Surgeon General.

  • Suicide rates have increased by over 30% since 2000.

  • Young people report historic levels of anxiety and hopelessness.

Families are fractured. Friendships feel fragile.
And while we text more than we talk, deep connection is vanishing.
Social media gave us a megaphone — but no one’s really listening.

3. Our Politics Feel More Like a Cage Match Than a Conversation

Red vs. Blue is now less a disagreement and more a battlefield.
Americans aren’t just divided — they distrust, dehumanize, and even fear each other.

  • Trust in Congress? Under 20%.

  • Belief in a unified future? Nearly nonexistent.

From election denial to conspiracy movements to Supreme Court rulings that feel out of touch with the public pulse, the average citizen is left wondering: Who’s really fighting for us?

4. We Are Spiritually Burnt Out

Churches are emptying, but so are hearts.
Consumerism replaced meaning. Hustle culture replaced purpose.
And even wellness — yoga, meditation, gratitude apps — has become just another performance.

We don’t just feel tired. We feel disconnected from something deeper.
Whether it’s faith, nature, community, or a sense of moral compass — it’s not just about politics and money anymore.
It’s about soul.

5. This Darkness Feeds on Silence

Here’s the dangerous part: Most Americans know something’s wrong.
But we’ve been trained to say, “I’m fine.”

We post selfies with filters.
We numb with Netflix, DoorDash, or dopamine hits.
We tell ourselves this is just a rough patch.

But this isn’t temporary. This is structural.
And until we name it, we won’t change it.

So What Do We Do?

We resist the numbness.
We speak the hard truths at our kitchen tables, in boardrooms, in classrooms, online.

We invest in real connection — not curated ones.
We vote. We protest. We build local. We protect our mental health like our life depends on it — because it does.

And most importantly: We stop pretending this is normal.

Final Thought

America is still capable of rebirth.
We’ve seen it before — after war, recession, assassinations, and pandemics.
But rebirth doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine.
It comes from reckoning with the truth.

And right now, the truth is this:
The United States is in a very dark place.
But the light always begins where someone finally dares to say,
“Enough.”

"Why Life Doesn’t Care If You Started Early — Or Late"

 In a world obsessed with overnight success and early wins, it’s easy to feel behind. The headlines celebrate the 25-year-old founder, the fresh graduate making millions, or the teenage prodigy already “making waves.” But here’s the truth no one talks about: life doesn’t care when you start — only that you stay in the game. Some of the world’s most impactful careers didn’t take off until midlife. Some of the most resilient businesses weren’t built by twenty-somethings. And some of the most powerful investors didn’t see massive returns until decades into their journey.
