“Living As If You Belong”
This is the place where we delve deeper into the concept of manifesting privilege. Discover how to live as if you already belong, as if you are already free from oppression. Be inspired to embrace your own power and experience the world without fear.
“Escaped from my oppression”
While I was cycling, a man came up to me and asked where I lived. For some reason, a certain energy went through me, and I said, “I don’t answer questions.” He rode away super fast—almost as if he was afraid of me.
I thought: Is it really that simple? Is this a way to escape sexism?
I’ve experienced this twice before: once when a man approached me while I was out with the dog—he walked away very quickly—and another time with a man who tried to help me, wanted to protect me, when I was walking alone at night. Twice this has happened: once with a father, and once with a gentleman.
It’s interesting: when you are connected to your intuition, you have complete self-confidence and the courage to deviate from the script. You start to see that not everything that looks unsafe is actually dangerous—and not all places that look “safe” truly are.
This is about being grounded, carrying yourself with grace, and observing how life unfolds for you—just as it has for me. This is powerful work. If anyone else has experienced this, let me know.
Have All These Pieces of Advice Worked?
Hell no. Awakenings are such a complex thing. I went to archetype therapy and got myself cleaned up big time. But one thing I did amazingly well was just enjoying the process—having fun where I was—because I didn’t want to give up temptation.
It was way too fun. It was like going to a candy store, playing big, and getting a sugar rush.
It took me a while to wing it because I’m such a playful person, and temptation—no matter what it is—is just so fun. After veganism, I needed a break from the social consequences and pressure, so I navigated it by thinking: You know what? It’s better to make mistakes now than in a relationship and really hurt someone I care about.
Plus, it’s good to understand this energy and the “game” so I can stay level-headed.
It’s like eating a big bag of candy and getting sick—after that, you know not to overdo it next time.
The best trick is to just have fun and master whatever situation you’re in. If you have a hard time giving up lust, just accept it. Learn to navigate it. You will have your wake-up call—trust me—but do it safely, okay?
Five Healthy Habits
I learned from a good friend of mine about this trick, and how it helped me. Well, it taught me how to have self-discipline so I can make good choices that are good for my well-being. Shout out to him for telling me this, so I can be the best version of myself.
You can write five habits you should avoid yourself if you want. Just do it for one day, then you can do whatever you want. Let me know if this trick helped you.
I slowly had a wake-up call that all this time, when I chose lust over love, I put myself in a position where I was “someone” I didn’t want to be. I’m way too pretty for that, maybe. Someone made me feel this way because I broke the pattern of wanting to be desired. Now I flip the script.
