The alignment grid isn’t just for role-playing games, it’s a mirror for real life. Strip away the fantasy trappings and you’ll find the same nine archetypes sitting in our governments, our corporations, and even in our families.

But lately? Everything feels harder than it should.
You start things. You drift. You plan. You stall.
Somewhere between knowing and doing, something gets lost.

This isn’t failure. It’s friction.

And the worst part? No one sees it but you.
