As a self-identified Filipinx| Filipino Woman, you may hold traditional cultural dialogues in your head that clash with the Western cultural norms.
Whether you were born in the Islands (Philippines) or not, speak the language with an accent or barely at all, many of us hold true the words spoken by well-intentioned adults-a.k.a. your parents, lolos & lolas who remind you the path they’ve led & the destination they hope for you to reach.
These dialogues of hope become the stories you live by.
Stories of those before you, have become your present.
Like wearing a cherished treasure that doesn’t belong to you.
It can feel heavy at times & it makes sense why you feel-
easily burdened by your daily to-dos, trapped in a so-so relationship & a good enough life to show for in family potlucks,
BUT doesn’t feel LIKE yours.
Imagine following a treasure map only to be led to someone else’s treasure!
