The Money Man .

Our culture teaches us about shame - It dictates what is acceptable and what is not.

Shame comes from outside of us

From the messages and expectations of our culture.

What does come from inside of us is a very large human need to belong, to relate…

We weren’t born craving better bodies. We weren’t born afraid to tell our stories. We weren’t born with a fear of getting too old to be vulnerable. We weren’t born with a shopping catalog in one hand and heart-breaking debt in they other. No. Not even in the slightest.

We were born with an innate ability to grow, explore, expand and soon enough, die.

What happens in the middle seems to be the part everyone needs to control.

Our relationship with money is built off of our placement within the societal hierarchical system - Therefore it is predominately fed by our psychological behaviour.

We allow money to control our worth, our values, our boundaries, everything.

It is often the hold back on freedom, the weight on most decisions and the demon in our back pocket. We allow it to tell us what we can and can’t do for most of our life, never once stepping back and asking,

well… why?

Everyday, we have monumental companies tugging at our insecurities telling us what we ‘need’ so we can be accepted. Our influences are tied to contracts forcing them to ‘inspire’ us with material goods. We have the constructs of our environments putting us into a box of what is seen as acceptable for the premise we live in. People say it’s just due to social media, yet it’s not, not even in the slightest.

Money has always been a problem

It has built the rooms we feel trapped in from the moment it was understood by humans how to use. The fucking sad part is how much we allow it to dictate our worth and value on this planet.
