and the adult who still feels guilty for smiling.

You don’t have to go through this alone.

Too Filipino for here.
Too Western for there.

This post is for the diasporic soul—
the inner child who never quite belonged,
and the adult learning to root in themselves anyway.

You don’t have to go through this alone.

Because you were never meant to fit.
You were meant to remember.

For many of us in the diaspora, identity feels like a moving target.

In this episode, we wrestle with the question:
Am I Filipino enough? And discover how worthiness was never about proving anything.

You became the helper, the achiever, the one who kept the peace.

But did anyone ever ask if that’s who you really were?

This post is for the Filipino inner child who performed a role just to be accepted— and the adult now wondering what’s real beneath the mask.

You don’t have to go through this alone.

I grew up under Martial Law. 🇵🇭

I lost my childhood photos to a typhoon.

I experienced Manila’s floodwaters in College.

These are not just stories of disaster—they are stories of corruption.

When funds are stolen, when infrastructures are neglected, when greed sits in power, it is always the people who pay with their bodies, their memories, their minds.

Our mental health is political. It is historical. The storms do not just break houses—they break our nervous systems, leaving behind anxiety, grief, and generations who have learned vigilance instead of rest.

Now in the U.S., I witness empire’s violence continue: brown families torn apart, legal workers raided, our people treated as disposable. It is the same story, just in another tongue.

And still, the people rise.

In the Philippines. In the diaspora.

Because history remembers this truth: the power of the people will always win.

To the Ate who had to be strong when she wanted to rest—this one’s for you. 🌿

A letter of compassion, release, and recognition for the eldest daughters in our Filipino families.

Releasing the need for their apology doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t matter. It means choosing not to let the wound dictate your worth. It means grieving what you needed and never received— while giving yourself now what you once hoped would come from someone else.

This, too, is reparenting. This, too, is justice.

Because if we keep waiting for the ones who hurt us to heal us,
we may never give ourselves permission to move forward.

You needed comfort, not correction.

Soothing, not shame.

But what you needed most never came.

This post is for the Filipino inner child who learned to survive without nurture— and the adult who’s now learning to reparent with tenderness.

You don’t have to go through this alone.

Because healing doesn’t mean waiting for the apology.

It means becoming the love you always longed for—and doing it in community.

Shame taught you to perform safety.

To smile on command. To disappear in plain sight.

This post is for the Filipino inner child who believed they had to be perfect
to be worthy of love.

Because healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken— it’s about remembering what was buried.

In many Filipino homes, being q***r feels like something you have to tuck away—just to keep the peace, just to keep your place at the table.

But love should never ask you to disappear.

Your q***rness is not a rebellion—it’s a remembrance. A continuation of stories older than silence.

Maybe you’ve heard, “Don’t tell lola,” or “It’s just a phase.”
Maybe you’ve learned to laugh it off, to shrink, to stay quiet.
But you deserve to be held in your full color.
To belong without bargaining.

This post is for you—for the ones carrying pride in secret, wondering if there’s a place for all of who they are.

There is.

Join the Hilom Collective—A Circle for Filipinos Across the Globe- Breaking Generational Trauma through Inner Child Healing, Ancestral wisdom and Kapwa Psychology.

Come rest here. Come be known.
