Sometimes, when I talk about life, relationships, or spirituality, my words might sound very male-oriented—as if I’m seeing the world mostly through men’s stories and experiences. And honestly? That’s because so much of what we’ve been taught—history, religion, culture—has been written, told, and controlled by men.
But let me be clear: I know, too. I see it. I feel it. I live it. Women’s voices and stories matter just as much. The Bible, the history books, the social rules—they were mostly written by men, in patriarchal times, reflecting what men wanted or needed rather than the whole truth.
Our experiences, our pain, our wisdom, and our power are real and valid, even if they haven’t always gotten the spotlight. I’m here to hold space for those voices that have been silenced or overlooked.
Because knowing is the first step to changing the story.
And here’s something I’ve been thinking about—what if Adam was the one who ate the apple first? Everyone points the finger at Eve, but Adam was there first. He didn’t question it, didn’t stop it. He just followed along. If he had asked even a simple question—maybe things would’ve turned out differently. But he didn’t.
That kind of accountability is what we rarely talk about—especially when it comes to men and the damage they sometimes cause. Yes, I believe in God, the spirits, and the spiritual realm, but I also believe people need to take responsibility for their choices.
Adam ate the apple first. And sometimes, that’s the real story.
Because at the end of the day, life is eat or be eaten—and knowing who started it all helps us understand the power dynamics we still live with today.
