#I don't think I'll ever be able to articulate how heartbroken I am that my family no longer has ties to our pre-colonial culture#the philippines has so many different ethno-linguistic groups#and it was home to so many different groups before the spaniards came#and I love researching the pre-colonial cultures and the different ethno-linguistic groups#but it's not the same#and obviously I'm very proud of my filipino culture in current times#because there are a lot of cultural things that emerged after/because of the occupation#and that's all so /so/ important to me and I wish I knew more about that as well#but the fact that my family's pre-colonial culture is pretty much lost is heartbreaking#because yes we're visayan and I know that I asked my mother about it#but the visayas are so so large and held so many different groups#idk idk it just makes me really really sad#I wish I could meet my ancestors and ask them directly y'know?#because everyday I learn more about pinoy culture despite being born and raised in america#and I'm about to finally start learning tagalog#but I just can't do that with the pre-colonial culture :(#stella rambles#personal
