“Post Travel Depression”?
So recently I've been feeling v emotional bc I just came back from the Home Country (at this point yinz/you young ones can probably guess it)
And no I don't know how to speak the main dialect pls don't attack me literally everyone there was spittin some crazy syllables and I was trying hard not to look like the foreigner I was
Now I got that good feeling of post travel depression (it's like,, a v great feeling) and it got me thinking, “hm, I can't speak the language, I feel just a bit (and by that I mean a decent amount bc sarcasm) disassociated from this place!”
So yeah in the end this is just me thinking just because I don't got native tongue I don't feel right to be called a pinoy because speaking the language (if there be one) is a huge part of the culture, right? And cultures are uniquely diverse in their own way and man I feel bad
It's been a while since I've said anything so whoever's reading this,
how's it going? :-)
and I think I'll post them watercolors sometime Idk I suck at them heh
also have this flawed english that I caught; the store spelled “liquor” incorrectly outside and on the inside, a sign spelled it just fine
The funny thing about this is my dad literally told the employees in their native tongue that it was spelled wrong and their expressions were priceless
SM is exposed
Yeah it was scary there because I had my mouth shut around that place because the people there were trying to talk to me especially when I was looking around stores and I was like hah nope awkwardly shuffling away from them lol
The watercolor practice is coming along quite nicely, I'll wait on them heheh
and i'd luv to see those watercolors, and boy it's probs gonna be far beyond amazing, i doubt u suck at them ;)
