Am I the Villain Just for Being a Man?

How to Create a Monster: A Conversation on Masculinity, Identity & Growth

Welcome to The Exodus of Elijah — a space for truth, reflection, and healing.

In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, I open up about the inspiration behind my upcoming short film, How to Create a Monster. We explore the emotional complexities of being a man in today’s world — where simply existing can make you feel like the villain in someone else’s story.

In this video, we dive into:

The tension between being an ally to women and still being seen as part of the problem

How masculinity is often weaponized or dismissed on both sides

The weight of societal expectations, ego, and emotional suppression

Why good men are caught between being minimized or monsterized

The spiritual journey of discipline, patience, and building something real — whether that’s a relationship, a dream, or yourself

This is more than just a conversation — it’s a call to reconnect with your own path, to question the narratives we inherit, and to start building with intentionality.

💬 Join the conversation:
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you're either "too much" or "not enough"? Have you struggled with being misunderstood while trying to grow into your best self?
