Decenter MEN | Recenter PURPOSE

He loves me , he loves me not… He loves me.. I care, not.

Most of us have been indoctrinated by television, our communities & society to be hopeful and eager for a “prince charming “. I’m not against men, but the idea of living and doing things just for the validation and affirmation from men, is where y’all got me messed up. I don’t understand the hype. This isn’t a blog post to steer you away from men, this is blog post to show you there’s more to live for !

The Indoctrination & worship of men

In 2005 I remember getting ready for bed. I just got out of the bath and I called my grandma for assistance. After helping me, She told me “ Don’t forget to moisturize your body child, your husband is gonna want you to have smooth , soft skin! ” .

In 2005 , I was 5.

I love my grandma, and I know she means well and I don’t hold this against her. I just want to highlight it because this is a perfect example of little girls being indoctrinated to do things with men being the motivation. I know thousands have similar stories from their uprbinging – especially if you grew up in the black community.

It’s like we were being trained to believe men are a part of our identity and without one, we aren’t complete. Without one we’re not deemed to be worthy. Without one people want to know, ” well what are you living for ?” as if womens’ sole purpose is to be yoked to a man.

RE-Center Your Purpose

A life without the worship of men is pleasant. You will begin to unlock parts of your brain that haven’t been activated, since the male worship indoctrination . In the realm of centering your purpose, you’ll find your optimal levels of self care and self validation. You will notice a sudden decline in the amount of jezebels and provocative behavior that influences our society now.

Ways to de-center men from your life:

  1. Spend more time with your friends and family- Unfortunately society doesn’t push the importance of strengthening the relationships that you have with your relatives and real friends as much as it pushes finding someone to have sex with.
  2. Center God- Now that we went ahead and knocked that sucka off the pedestal, go ahead and put God in his rightful place.
  3. Date yourself- You deserve your own attention.
  4. Find a cause to support- Life is greater than relationships.. find a need in the world. You have and are the solution.
  5. Build business’ get creative – without a vision , you’ll perish.
  6. Heal– All of us have emotional, physical or spiritual wounds. Heal so you can show up better in the world.
