Mýa recently had a conversation with Melyssa Ford for the Hot and Bothered podcast, explaining why building a family was never her focus.
Accoridng to Vibe she said:
“It’s not even my focus, and it never has been,” explained the R&B singer after discussing her celibacy journey and having the “pick of the litter.”
“I’ve witnessed a lot of things,” continued the 45-year-old after detailing witnessing her parents’ divorce.
“I’ve always thought a little different. The white wedding dress, I was very fearful of those things, so I looked elsewhere and probably escaped too much in my work and ‘keep going.’ But also, I think being independent has forced me to show up for myself and obviously family, friends, and this operation because I have a mission and I have a vision, but it requires me to be gone, and that’s also very, very much fear-filled knowing that if I have to be gone 95% of the time, and my work calls of me to travel, it must be intimidating and I also cant show up properly for my significant other.”
“It will be granted to me in divine time, and I’m not worried about it because my life is full of love and it comes in so many different forms—not just one person, so I’ve had to recalibrate my brain,” she added.
“And not, I think, govern my life off of this fantasy or illusion that we’ve all been indoctrinated by or taught by,” confessed the “Case Of The Ex” performer. “I’m very happy with myself, but that also required me to strip a lot of things that are expected of me on a specific timeline for the society that we grew up in to have. I’m talking about marriage, I’m talking about kids, and if you don’t have it, ‘something’s wrong with you,’ right?”
