Back to Hairless Amy (in 2 spots)

If you haven’t heard of the divine masculine and divine feminine, the basic understanding is there are characteristics and energy that are found more deeply within the masculine (action) and feminine (nurture). This bugged me a lot in the first half of the year because to me, it suggested that society was reinforcing the notion that women were soft and submissive and men were aggressive and tough - and that neither could be the other characteristics. I struggled because I don’t want to be feminine or masculine, I just wanted to be human.

I’ve learned A LOT and have done a lot of shadow work this year and what I understand to be true today is that for 20 years, I was required to show up as divine masculine and when I pivoted into my new chapter, I wanted to challenge and defy the divine masculine so hard, that I was actually continuing to show up as the masculine. It was a lot to unpack.

Because society is upside down right now and especially in the workplace, the divine masculine has been leading the charge, the divine feminine is needed to help balance out and help both men and women to feel safe, to feel human, and to feel nurtured. Yes you can be both at once, that is the goal, to have the symbiotic relationship to be a well balanced human.

Now, to removing hair - I realized that for me, adamantly being angry about hair removal came to be for women (anger is still valid here, but I’m reclaiming my power by making choices based on what I want and not the patriarchy), I realized that 1. I like a shaved leg, in the summer time wearing shorts or dresses, I feel feminine and pretty when I don’t have hair on my legs so I accept that and have begun removing my leg hair again. For my underarms - because I use natural deodorant, the hair was causing me to stink to the high heavens, which did not make me feel pretty nor feminine. I’m trying to join forces between my alpha dominance and the divine feminine - this is helping me toward that.

I make choices for me, no one else and that doesn’t make me more or less masculine or feminine, it makes me a human that has full agency over herself.

Choice, decision, and freedom is exquisite - may you allow yourself to think about what you truly want and move toward it.
