Being awake means you're aware of what's truly going on in the world, from the deep state to false flags, disinformation and propaganda tactics. Being awake to me means that you don't follow the mainstream media, that you question things and realize that the system wasn't built to support the average person. You're not impressed by superficiality or materialism, but many people who are awake long for a deeper spiritual connection with others, which can often lead to loneliness and depression.
