Mya Opens Up About Her Experience With Celibacy
The singer recently appeared as a guest on ‘Way Up With Angela Yee’ in an episode published via YouTube on July 25. About 22 minutes into her interview, Mya explained that along with adopting a vegan lifestyle, she’s also given up alcohol and interesting in sexual intercourse with a purpose to lead a more healthy life.
The singer went on to elucidate that celibacy gave her “mental clarity” and the flexibility to do “without.”
“It shifted my mindset. It was now not a spotlight,” she said. “The frenzy to be in a relationship, the push to be married, the push to… be in something because that’s what you’re taught to do — to have kids or procreate.”
The singer explained that she feels “there’s plenty of pressure on women to find a way to try this.”
“Why are we taught we have now to be taken or made an honest woman?” she asked.
Here’s How Celibacy Impacted The Singer’s Life
Because the conversation continued, Mya explained that she believes “love is gorgeous.” Nonetheless, individuals must past love themselves.
“Love is gorgeous, and I feel the world at all times needs more of it, but I feel you should start with yourself,” she said. “And I actually have to begin with self at all times, versus expecting from other sources.”
Mya ultimately explained that the strategy of celibacy “recondition[ed]” her mindset.
“It was just reconditioning. It’s something that was needed, since it’s a really spiritual thing,” she said. “You will need to be very selective when you want higher results. That self-accountability began with me by shutting that a part of my life off.”
