How long it takes for you to unplug is directly related to how long it takes for you to accept reality for what it is, whether you've fully committed to the process, and how long it takes you to understand that nothing will be given, all must be earned. Reality The reality of the situation is that you've … Continue reading Flip the Switch

The Pride
Gentlemen, once you’ve recognized the need to destroy The Void in your heart and eradicate the The Shame from your mind by reaching out to your brethren you can then experience something which has eluded your grasp for far too long, a sense of pride. Masculinity has been under attack for so long that most men now default … Continue reading The Pride
Xmas & NYE
This is my second Christmas writing on TFA (Here's a link to last year's Christmas post) for those unaware I’m a huge fan of the Christmas season. I know it’s commercialized as hell, but there’s something about the music, the cold, the snow, the food, the parties, etc that I'm a big fan of. Especially … Continue reading Xmas & NYE
Negative Visualizations
When I was 5 years old my mother committed suicide. This left my father to raise me and my 3 year old twin brother/sister on his own. My dad was a Navy man; always in and out for weeks then deploying for months at a time. He needed a caretaker so we went to live with … Continue reading Negative Visualizations
The Burden of Family
Nick Kelly (Victor Pride) recently released a Podcast in which he answers the question as to whether he’ll ever get married or into an LTR and have kids. He says (paraphrased), “no, not now, possibly not ever.” He then goes on to discuss how he puts work before all else and all of the married men … Continue reading The Burden of Family

What I want you to give yourself this holiday season is the Gift of Independence. I want you to shift your perspective on life to the point … Continue reading Give your ‘self’ a gift.
Burn Your Ship
The most crucial aspect to reclaiming your masculine nature is committing to something with every fiber of your being. You have to want to improve and take responsibility for your life so bad that you’re willing to jump without knowing where you’ll land. You have to put yourself in a very vulnerable position where you’re … Continue reading Burn Your Ship
Credible Sources?
There seems to be this notion on the manosphere that certain men in certain life situations are completely incapable of providing beneficial or constructive information. I saw an engagement on Twitter between two men and it ended with one telling the other, “I’m not going to listen to your advice because you’re divorced”. Now, I’ll admit … Continue reading Credible Sources?
Don’t Open That
Have you ever been in the situation where your phone is out on a table or in the open at a party? Have you ever had it go off in a setting like that and experienced a mild panic attack because you think someone is going to go to open it and you know that … Continue reading Don’t Open That
Break The Mold
You can't accept the truth until you accept you've been living a lie. The majority of men I know (majority as in 95%) are living their lives inside of a mold that was forged for them by white knights, women, and our society as a whole. As much as it sucks to accept you, my … Continue reading Break The Mold
