Know your lane and stay in it

Over the last three weeks I've been in semi-hermit mode. I deleted my Whatsapp, I don't follow anyone on Twitter so I only see my own tweets on the timeline and I only go on Instagram to share the fun I'm having and watch cat videos. I've chosen to go within and it's nice in here.

All I need is within me!
This social media sabbatical I'm on is helping me come to very clear decisions about the life I want for Myself. I haven't had this much clarity on the path I want to take in my life ever and it feels so good! I have a lot of mental space to ponder about my life, add more details to my creation, live limitless and realise (SEE God's blessings onto me) more because:
1. I'm not comparing what I'm creating to what others have created;
2. I'm not receiving unsolicited advice from humans who believe in 'constructive criticism';
3. I feel less guilty about my thriving;
4. I'm not facing reality but creating it;
5. I'm experiencing more freedom of conversation (I only conversate with those I really want to talk to and not just responding to comments/texts because I'm on line and don't want to be rude).

I realise now that I had given too much of my power away. I know that I have never needed to consult others on any of my decisions or seek approval on my lifestyle because they don't know what's good for me. Not even my mother knows. Because good/bad is subjective and subjectivity is influenced by beliefs. Beliefs are merely thoughts we keep thinking that, because of the Law of Attraction, are true to those who think them. Ultimately, what we believe is what we see, experience and what makes up what we find 'factual'.

It's then clear that no one but me knows what is good for me. No one but me knows why I want what I want and why I believe it's possible, yet so many humans are under the illusion that what they are knowing is what everyone else is knowing. This is why so many of us are living under 'constant societal pressures', because we are creating our lives based on what others are living and knowing, forgetting the power that lies within us. The power of knowing what you want because Your life has caused you to want it and the power of faith, of belief in acquiring this that you want because you know it possible. 

So like Oprah Winfrey I'm knowing my lane and firmly rooted in it. I know all things are possible in this Universe of Wellbeing and Abundance. And I know that I should not be listening to anyone else on my dreams or even on what I should have for supper tonight. I know that All That Is (God/Source) is offering constant, loving, Knowing guidance and support to all those who are reaching for it. And because I'm reaching for it I know I am advised by the best in the business-Infinite Intelligence.

Just me and my God
Be still and Know.

How many of us have been convinced of "The One" bogus theory? 10? 50? 3million? 7 billion +? Yeah, I'm also in the same Whatsapp group. I can't count the number of times I've been told that every human on this planet only has one soul mate, one 'compatible' mating partner, on some sofa s'lahlane shit, that Prince Charming and Snow hullabaloo.      One kiss👀??? As soon as Disney was done convincing me that there's only one Charming for me...and one frog to kiss I entered high school and I was sold the idea that I must choose the one career path. This narrative is still reproduced in my now life as people ask what is it I do for a living and offer puzzled looks when I answer with a paragraph instead of one word. I'll admit it, the effort I sometimes unnecessarily offer  to try and condense my life experiences for their 'understanding' does not help me or the other.  Side note:I do give one too many fucks sometimes🙍.  I h...

american cultural imperialism and my psyche? curios, suspicious, unmasked

Its curious. i haven't written or opened this blog in over a year and i'm looking at my past writing style with curious suspicion. Style might not be the word but my voice in earlier essays sounds uncomfortably american. i'm embarrassed to realise that my many years of consuming american popular culture, often without much thought, has implanted an identity i have no business embodying. I chalk this up to my childhood of course. My siblings and i raised one another. We were home alone for most of our childhood while my parents worked ridiculous hours at low-paying jobs, leaving us with triple-locked doors and a TV that played too many american children's programmes. Regardless, in those pockets of time my pan-African father was around, he instilled pride in our culture and black africanness. He would remind me of our setswana heritage and had a policy that we should leave the english language we were taught in school at the gate. As soon as we entered our home, setswana...

I'm not a womxn but...

i'm still kinda sorta a womxn😖😖😖 this confession follows despite my recent exit from the gender binary system. My 'coming-out' as an androgynous ET was in the form of a wholesome Instagram post explaining succinctly why I have no business being a womxn, regardless of how i'm perceived. This declaration of independence ushered in a superficial feeling of freedom. Indeed, i felt my proverbial wings unfold gracefully and prepare to take flight as a result of my now publicized gender nonconformity. I say 'superficial' not because it's fake,  but rather 'cause it's legit not that deep. See, i have a highly developed skill of living in the clouds and ignoring 'reality'. Hence, i mostly go through life evading the thousand and one ways in which my subconscious still embodies the conditioning of the patriarchal, misogynistic gender binary.  For instance, a couple of days ago I was reflecting on how freeing it is to finally withdraw my participatio...
