Growing up Biracial: Conversation on race & identity [Okinawan-Canadian x Ghanaian-Australian]
In this video, Max and I (Adjoa) sit down for an honest mukbang-style chat about what it’s like growing up biracial - Max as Okinawan-Canadian and me as Ghanaian-Australian. We talk about the ups and downs, the challenges of balancing two cultures, and how our unique backgrounds shape who we are today. It’s a real, unfiltered conversation that means a lot to both of us. We’d love to hear from you too! Drop your experiences in the comments-we’re excited to keep the conversation going and learn from each other’s stories.

I think rewriting has been the biggest step forward for me. But I also struggle with being more abstract with lyrics writing. Which is something I've always admired about your writing. Awesome video!
Your outfit is so metal.
Please don’t be like this 😑
I should have given more tips for people who want to make their lyrics very demure, very mindful.
UGHHH I SO LOVED THIS LITTLE PROJECT 😭😭 thank you for drawing us so beautifully Mel!
You didn’t do one of yourself! Gotta do that so the group is complete! I loved the art and the explanations of what you included in each drawing. Thank you!!
Whew. Currently going through what feels like the THICK of my 20s rn. Loneliness, grad school transitions, navigating dating, losing & building new bonds, maintaining long distance friendships, relearning my personality as an adult, lifestyle changes…..the list goes on. Alongside journaling, songwriting, & yapping on FaceTime, it’s been most helpful to simply let myself CRY things out as I’m experiencing the discomfort of all the major life changes. Nothing could’ve prepared me for this stage lol… How are YOU currently processing the major shifts in your 20s? Asking for a friend🥲😗 - Evin
Living for this concept. I will definitely be doing one of these to tap into my creativity as a graduate student. My singer-songwriter side has deff taken a back seat in this season of my life🙏🏽🙃
Yay Evin I want this for you so bad!! Your artist needs some time with you ;)
I really enjoyed this video! It's so hard sometimes to remember that being productive doesn't mean making money, especially as a creative :')
Omg SO hard. But it’s SO true and we can absolutely work to restructure our priorities!!
Sending lots of love ❤🍄⭐🌿

@@thatoneartist what a roller coaster this thread has become
i've never found a video as accurate as what ive experienced for the past 12 years as this i just have to say that ive been in this situation since 2011, my intrusive thoughts would always creep in to worsen it i would always feel alone because i never had anyone in my life to talk to about it especially as someone who lives in a catholic-centric country who studied in a catholic school born and raised in a catholic family i remember my mom throwing me our bible and would advice me to just read it if only this video existed when i was 15 years old instead of just hitting my head multiple times in our bathroom i've learned to manage it 10 years later, but i'd still have episodes of it that would question morals, laws, and philosophies that would lead me to a dark place (again) consumed with intrusive thoughts i would look at the sky and would just shout internally -- what is free will what is god where is god why are we even here and why did god choose this life for me why am i having these thoughts if god is real why is he letting me experience this hell it's true that it really feels repetitive and claustrophobic im glad youtube recommended me this in a drew gooden video... and i feel so safe you're articulating everything i've thought and suffered through so well
This is a freaky coincidence. Like. Really creepy. IF there is a god out there. He is scary and I don’t like him 💀
SPOILERS BRO, SPOILERS!!!!
This is who I am, deal with it.
We live for the spoilers
@@PassionfrootCo "Ain't nobody like a spoiler" - Evin Nazya.
Since we are posting quotes, GK Chesterton said the skeptic is just smart enough to take apart a car, but not enough to put it back together again, so they just stand at the side of the road trying to look in deep thought because asking for help would expose them.
This is a good quote actually and it stuck with me after you commented yesterday! I do see the danger of this kind of complacency happening in a time of questioning like the one I’m going through, and this quote was a wake up call to me. The one thing I’ll say is that I’m in conversations with many other people about this journey, Christians and non-christians. I think reaching out to community is very important. However, I also see that some of my spiritual practices have slipped away, and this is a reminder for me to not let uncertainty be the excuse for letting that happen. -Darcie
@@PassionfrootCo Look up The Church Fathers.
Hopefully at least some of the messages I posted showed up.
Hopefully you can choose God over meaningless trends on tik tok spurred by sxual s1n.
Venerable Fulton Sheen: “He told them therefore that He was not a Teacher asking for a disciple who would parrot His sayings; He was a Saviour Who first disturbed a conscience and then purified it. But many would never get beyond hating the disturber. The Light is no boon, except to those who are men of good will; their lives may be evil, but at least they want to be good. His Presence, He said, was a threat to sensuality, avarice, and lust. When a man has lived in a dark cave for years, his eyes cannot stand the light of the sun; so the man who refuses to repent turns against mercy. No one can prevent the sun from shining, but every man can pull down the blinds and shut it out.”
Venerable Fulton Sheen: “The nature of certain things is fixed, and none more so than the nature of truth. Truth may be contradicted a thousand times, but that only proves that it is strong enough to survive a thousand assaults. But for any one to say, “Some say this, some say that, therefore, there is no truth,” is about as logical as it would have been for Columbus who heard some say, “The earth is round”, and others say “The earth is flat” to conclude: “Therefore, there is no earth at all.” It is this kind of thinking that cannot distinguish between a sheep and his second coat of wool, between Napoleon and his three-cornered hat, between the substance and the accident, the kind that has begotten minds so flattened with broadness that they have lost all their depth. Like a carpenter who might throw away his rule and use each beam as a measuring-rod, so, too, those who have thrown away the standard of objective truth have nothing left with which to measure but the mental fashion of the moment. The giggling giddiness of novelty, the sentimental restlessness of a mind unhinged, and the unnatural fear of a good dose of hard thinking, all conjoin to produce a group of sophomoric latitudinarians who think there is no difference between God as Cause and God as a “mental projection”; who equate Christ and Buddha, St. Paul and John Dewey, and then enlarge their broad-mindedness into a sweeping synthesis that says not only that one Christian sect is just as good as another, but even that one world-religion is just as good as another. The great god “Progress” is then enthroned on the altars of fashion, and as the hectic worshipers are asked, “Progress towards what?” The tolerant answer comes back, “More progress.” All the while sane men are wondering how there can be progress without direction and how there can be direction without a fixed point. And because they speak of a “fixed point,” they are said to be behind the times, when really they are beyond the times mentally and spiritually.”"
the 6 reasons you are going to Islamic hell, I posted to this comment, as my others were being blocked. 1) no belief in Allah = no salvation 2) Presumption of Allahs mercy for choosing the wrong religion 3) To impugn the known truth of islam 4) Envy of muslims living better lives you 5) stubbornness in sticking to your false Christian religion. 6) refusal to repent for following a false religion I was hoping you would take the hint when I quoted the quran that all religions are equally as compelling and that you're simply quoting from a book of fairytales and magic, but your obviously a bit slow and stupid.
God Himself To St Catherine Of Siena on you: "Do you know dearest daughter, how I raise the soul out of her imperfections? Sometimes I vex her with evil thoughts and a sterile mind. It will seem to her that I have left her completely, without any feeling whatever. She does not seem to be in the world, because she is in fact not there; nor does she seem to be in me because she has no feeling at all other than that her will does not want sin. I do not allow enemies to open the gate of the will that is free. I do let the devils and other enemies of humankind beat against other gates, but not against this, which is the main gate guarding the city of the soul. I do not will the soul’s d4th as long as she is not so stpd as to open the gate of her will. They cannot enter unless her own will chooses to let them in."
Venerable Fulton Sheen: "C0nscience, Christ, and the gift of faith make evl mn une4sy in their s1n. They feel that if they could dr1ve Christ from the earth, they would be free from "moral inhibitions." They forget that it is their own nature and c0nscience which makes them feel that way. Being un4ble to dr1ve God from the heavens, they would d1ve his ambassadors from the 3arth. In a lesser sphere, that is why many m3n sn3er at virtue--because it makes v1ce unc0mfrtble."
Venerable Fulton Sheen: “The modern man is no longer a unity, but a confused bundle of complexes and nerves. He is so dissociated, so alienated from himself that he sees himself less as a personality than as a battlefield where a civil war rages between a thousand and one conflicting loyalties. There is no single overall purpose in his life. His soul is comparable to a menagerie in which a number of beasts, each seeking its own prey, turn one upon the other. Or he may be likened to a radio, that is tuned in to several stations; instead of getting any one clearly, it receives only an annoying static. If the frustrated soul is educated, it has a smattering of uncorrected bits of information with no unifying philosophy. Then the frustrated soul may say to itself: “I sometimes think there are two of me a living soul and a PhD.” Such a man projects his own mental confusion to the outside world and concludes that, since he knows no truth, nobody can know it. His own skepticism (which he universalizes into a philosophy of life) throws him back more and more upon those powers lurking in the dark, dank caverns of his unconsciousness. He changes his philosophy as he changes his clothes. On Monday, he lays down the tracks of materialism; on Tuesday, he reads a best seller, pulls up the old tracks, and lays the new tracks of an idealist; on Wednesday, his new roadway is Communistic; on Thursday, the new rails of Liberalism are laid; on Friday, he-hears a broadcast and decides to travel on Freudian tracks: on Saturday, he takes a long drink to forget his railroading and, on Sunday, ponders why people are so foolish as to go to Church. Each day he has a new idol, each week a new mood. His authority is public opinion: when that shifts, his frustrated soul shifts with it.”

I don't know if it could answer questions you have or anything but the Bock Saga might be worth looking into. Pretty sure it'll be the craziest story you'll ever hear, but perhaps due to that very thing and its own internal logic, the story might just be true. Good place to start is first Welcome to Hel, then Welcome to Altlantis and then Welcome to Rajasthan by Jim Chesnar. interesting stories at least if nothing else.

Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find until after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others do the same. C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
the inability to acieve 100% satisfaction or 100% happiness doesnt necessarily indicate that you weren't made for this world, I don't see how that would follow, it could possibly be that it's evolutionarily advantageous to constantly keep wanting to get better or achieve higher states and levels because it makes us feel like we're making progress and this helps survival of the species.

Hi Darcy! Your experience is totally relatable and something similar I went through in my early twenties. You should totally check out videos on Near Death Experiences (NDEs)! They really helped me to cope with my existential crisis. Watching them has been revelatory for me and shown that God does likely exist and his/her existence and love is sooo much more than any religion or human belief could ever capture. Most importantly, developing a connection with God is totally personal and can only be defined by you! So don't feel guilty if you've never heard "God's voice" before. You may never "hear" it, but that doesn't mean you can't develop a special connection with God and have him/her revealed to you in a way that best fits you! Hope that helps and know that God and the universe love you in more ways than you can expect!
,Getting to know God is more then just living out a religion that you follow, getting to know God is through reading his word the Bible because it is inspired by God and he reveals his character to us in the Bible and Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh we can know who God is and have a genuine relationship with him as our Heavenly Father and our God who loves us that he sent his one and only begotten son the Lord Jesus Christ to die on the cross so that whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have Eternal life, keep seeking God he is not far from any of us
