- You are a product of who came before you, the legacy of your family. You are your mother, and whether you like it or not, you are also your father. | #YingNan in #ShangChi 🐉 Probably one of my fav #Marvel movies, the one that made me understand about legacy, about not allowing the bad apple to dictate my future, my character, to make me as rotten as he is. We can not choose family, but we can choose who we are, who we want to be, and mostly, can learn a lot from bad examples. I have the best from my mother, the best from my grandma, and the willing, the anger and the guts to change the curse of being a submissive woman in the family, living for men who would only project their fears, insecurities and uselessness through violence and intimidation upon someone “weaker” (highlight that this is what they want people feel, because apart from my brother, there are no direct men in my family that was worth the oxygen they are breathing). To everyone who were or still are in this position, here is the fact: Blood doesn’t matter. You are not what hurt you, and you can make different, better. You can beat any abusive #motherfucker that tries to convince you of the opposite. And that’s my path! 👊🏻 #GrlPwr #Legacy (at Ibirapuera Sao Paulo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqAwxJjF9Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
