    What a wonderful show. BADONG!
    It took me until my 30s to learn how to love the little kid version of me, after realizing that I had protected myself to survive through hating, rejecting, blaming her- believing she was shit, _she_ was the problem, because that was what made sense, that’s all I ever learned growing up. It was easier to believe that they were right. I felt all this pain and anger and it had her face, I blamed her for being the one that gave it to me it, hated her for letting it happen. I thought if I could get rid of her I could be stronger, more lovable, better. I was just so desperate not to _be_ her anymore, not to _feel_ that fire in my throat, that tsunami at my back that scared me because I always felt like if it got out, it would take me and everyone around me under.
    I wasn’t wrong about the fire tsunami.
    I struggled a lot in my twenties. I figured some things out around 30, and constantly since, that have been vital in accepting, loving and being my authentic and best self. I still feel things too strongly, and I wrestle with self cruelty all the time. But I’ve come so far, I’ve really made progress, (huge parts due to painting while listening to audiobooks like the 4 agreements and the war of art) and I can count everything back to a starting point: the day that I forgave, accepted, and embraced the child version of myself. I realized that she -was- *is* worthy of love, and respect, and happiness. I am still working on believing that she -was- *is* a valid human being. And so it goes.
    This reminded me of that. I wish I had a name to call her- I grew up in a Filipino household for many years but I don’t think I ever got a cool nickname. 🤷🏼‍♀️
    BADONG! Love yourself, you are amazing, this was truly beautiful. I’m not crying you’re crying

    World class comedy. I grew up in Auckland and was the token white kid in a group called 'The Asians'. In high school, I'd get made fun off for my white person lunch alongside other white person things. I was so jealous of my friends with their noodles and rice and felt very self-conscious eating my peanut butter sandwich lmao. Thank you so much for sharing your story

    Really well done;the Outro skit and photo diary were surprisingly charming. And, Oh my gosh, I don’t pay much attention to the credits nowadays because I’m too busy multitasking other things but I knew that there was something important in yours and so I spent a good 10 minutes scrolling back and forth thru the timeline on my tiny tablet and angrily cursing my big 6’1” Amazon girl hands for the poorly orchestrated fat-fingering. (Of course I know I should not be so hard on myself. My hands are perfect at basketballs, hockey sticks, steering wheels, boxing rings, and power tools lol.) well, I’m glad that I did follow my instincts and I was pleasantly surprised by your closing credits. Is there a very clever and heartwarming at the same time? Thank you for the smiles in my otherwise movie of the week horror story type life.
