Finally something in the media where these topics about our family culture can be talked about openly.
This is such a brave project.
We know how hard it is to have open and hard conversations without having to fear what's going to happen with the relationship after opening up.
(I had many heart-to-heart talks with my dad, like the one in the video, and I was always scared to open up and scared he might get upset but, fortunately, he's super understanding and knows how to take accountability and apologize๐ฅฐ)
I realized how fortunate I got with my parents when I saw the high level of dysfunction in other filipino families. No family is perfect, I know. Mine was far from perfect, too. But, growing up, the toxicity I saw in other families was insane.
I've never experienced bodyshaming from my mother but I had titas and titos commenting on my body and giving me unsolicited advices all the time making me feel judged and bad about myself.
Most Filipinos tend to pretend that they are strong emotionally but deep inside they carry a lot of insecurities.
Mental heath is still considered a taboo topic.
We hide our emotional weaknesses, we avoid talking about how we feel because that's what we learned from our loved ones thinking it's normal to suppress whatever we're feeling and what we're going through.
This is how the older generations, unconsciously, taught us how to deal with our emotions: pretend that everything is fine to not distrupt the "peace" in the family. ๐
That's why Iโm glad to see that our generation is making moves in trying to decolonize the minds of the filipinos, to stop toxic mindsets, to break generational traumas. Nicely done! Let's break the cycle!๐
I really love what this media company is doing with this series. Can't wait for more of this kind of content! ๐๐๐

I was randomly filming my dad walking earlier then I suddenly got emotional seeing him with crutches.. seeing him getting old and weak breaks my heart. seeing your parents getting old is definitely one of the hardest thing about adulting
