Majia's Blog

I spontaneously created this site as a writing platform to nurture my playful and caring heart, while exploring the world of relationship with friends, family, co-workers, dating partners and with the world at large. But it has evolved...

I have lost a few good men in my life to old age, sickness, suicide, PTSD, etc. This breaks my heart and I'm not sure some of it was necessary. Call me over optimistic. So, this writing platform has evolved into a space where I can express the ways I cherish the men in my life. Perhaps through my sharing of memories, stories and research, I can be of service. I want to awaken myself and others to a deeper understanding that empathetic and embodied adult play can foster our relationships, our instincts, our ability to adapt through profound adversity with our morals intact, along with heal from PTSD. Men (women and non-binary) have an instinctual, in-born knack for play. Therefore, we have a natural capacity for significant change within ourselves and within the world. Our nature knack for play should not be dismissed as a waste of time in our society.

I can't say enough about the importance of the women in my life. As they say, "Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend, her girlfriends are her diamonds." But there seems to be something bigger than me at work here related to the ways I cherish the men in my life, and I want to have faith in it. It seems to be retooling my insides. What is pouring out of me is something way deeper than I originally thought. Girlfriends and a momma's love can move mountains. But maybe under the right, loving conditions, play can too.
