“It is a heavy burden, to be two things and nothing all at once. A daughter of immigrants, I was raised to be a delegate in order to navigate the camps that seem to be at war with each other, to reconcile two different worlds. In the end, I become more and more like a traitor, loyal to no one. My skin is too fair, my tongue too sharp and dripping with precision. There is no accent to be found. The mother language that I used to cherish gets caught in the back of my throat, trapped behind my teeth. At the same time, my eyes are too angular. When they say my name, it is rushed, careless because the sounds do not come easy, unlike the reverence my father gives it. Foreign. Foreign, foreign. That is what I am. A stranger to my homeland, a threat here. Too different to be claimed by anyone. A shell that has washed up on shore, I belong nowhere.”

— Tina Tran, Foreigner

I think it’s completely disrespectful and unacceptable when someone underestimates someone else’s sadnesses or problems and values them as nothing compared to theirs. Just because you think you went through a harder experience doesn’t mean my difficulty doesn’t exist, and just because you value your problem as much greater than mine, doesn’t mean I have no right to be sad. You haven’t lived in my mind nor walked in my shoes, you know nothing about the way I feel and think and see things, and you have no idea how my problem affects me and my life so you might as well stop talking about stuff you don’t understand and stay in your lane.

the best thing you can do in a relationship is follow your intuition, people tend to have very polar thinking when they’re talking in hypotheticals like if x happened, i would react this way, but you don’t know until you are in a relationship and what it feels like to you, especially when people hurt you, this is not to excuse abusive behavior but painful mistakes are often made because people themselves are in pain, especially when you are still learning, and only you can decide what you will work through and when you should let go. i think too often people are afraid of the amount of work it takes to love another person, but love is work every day, and there are times when that work can feel difficult, difficult times are not always a sign that it’s time to let go and especially if you plan on spending a very long time or a lifetime with someone, you will inevitably hurt each other, it’s how you communicate after the hurt, it’s how you heal the hurt together
