your mistakes don’t define you

as a child of asian immigrants, my standards of perfection are high.

my parents saw going to america as a second chance for them and they want their children to be the best they can be.

my grades are a big part of this “second chance” my parents wanted.

i, made a mistake today on a test that could potentially bring my grade down. the thing is, this is my first time ever doing so.

so why am i so scared? why am i scared of being human because all humans make mistakes.

these mistakes don’t define you.

you make your own impression.

* 𝙷𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚢 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚒𝚊𝚗 𝙽𝚎𝚠 𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚛 * I just wanted to say #ThankYou to my friends for being so vocal in sharing #StopAsianHate. The last president honestly made being Asian extremely difficult in this country. We saw attack after attack on Asians in our communities rise over the last couple of years to extremely troubling numbers- yet hardly any news reports. It wasn’t until the recent targeted murders in Georgia that mainstream media started to take notice. And yet, people & police still say this heinous act wasn’t a hate crime. Thank you to those who reached out directly & to those who shared stories & our hashtag. Limited Edition #ItsAnHonorJustToBeAsian are now available via @eastwestplayers (please don’t buy the bootlegs on Amazon). And if you’re able, I encourage donations to @stopaapihate. They track & respond to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, & child bullying against Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders in the US. #SpringEquinox #Spring #NewYear #PersianNewYear #Asian #AsianAmerican #Filipino #BeingAsian (at California, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqGOvYsuI0/?igshid=1h7vjbrcooi29

#beingasian amidst the #coronavirus Every morning I wake up to news of new cases of the virus. And what follows is even more alarming news of people being bullied, beaten up, shamed for being Asian. As if being Asian is synonymous with the corona virus. What burns me most is that this doesn’t just stop with adults. Our kids are bullying other kids over this in our schools. Feel like this present administration prior to this outbreak has given people permission to hate. permission to #fear monger. permission to #shittalk. permission to #bully. permission to be #racist. And how easily the target shifts to another race to fear/hate. #unacceptable We are better than this #America https://www.instagram.com/p/B9RkywLALfQ/?igshid=wff3n8g1ytqy

This man from my temple who is expressing his deepest gratitude to our Monk Sè Phũ she began to cry while passing money out in red envelopes 🧧 to everyone for New Years. She even cried during prayer and chants 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I can’t express how loving our Monk is I’ve never seen anything like it before, she lives with littles but has so much and gives so much. It really makes you reflect on yourself and who you are as a person. As a kid I never really understood religion and never really embraced it till now! I’m still learning as I grow spiritually and I can’t say I’m fully Buddhist (very spiritual though) but I am learning to be a better person through the things I am learning and my eyes are wide open to the world around me, as well as being more aware than ever before!! #buddhist #culture #beingasian #vietnamese #blasian 🇻🇳🇯🇲 #mylife #growthmindset #growth #learning #life #lessons #monks #temple #prayer #chants #gratitude #love (at Buddhist Wisdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgxCG0BqFr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jbkm4t8o019a

Today, we’re presenting our second post from @danielkisaac, wherein he discusses what it’s like being Asian American and dating. This is not unique to the LGBTQ+ community, but has been widely covered this year by @grindr, @scruffapp, @chappyapp, and many others. Curious to see what Daniel experiences online and in person? Look no further. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Where are you from?” 👆🏽This may seem like an innocuous question, but to a person of color this implies that they do not belong here or could not possibly be from here and thus becomes a microaggression. I was at a bar earlier this year and someone asked me this question while tugging at their eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Normally not attracted to Asians but you are fucking hot!!” 👆🏽This is not a compliment. Have you met every single Asian in the world? How do you know that you are not attracted to an entire race of people? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “My last boyfriend was Korean. I love your food.” 👆🏽This is an immediate red flag. Danger, Will Robinson. GTFO! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “No fats, femmes, or Asians.” 🖕🏽This is not ok. This fat shames. This is sexist and signals internalized homophobia. And this is racist. Also, if you try to add “just a preference” to any statement like this, just know that these are not preferences--these words are an act of violence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Real talk. We are already a marginalized community that has rights we fought so hard for, which are now being threatened by our current state of affairs. Why are we spending any time or energy hating on or oppressing each other, consciously or not, when there is enough hatred and violence for our community from the outside? #GetBehindBespoke #DoctorsOrders #LGBT #Instagay #Health #Wellness #Gay #SexEd #Racism #InternalizedHomophobia #PeopleOfColor #TeamBenKim #NotYourAsianSidekick #NotTheSame #BeingAsian #Inclusion #Diversity #Asian #DanielKIsaac (at DTLA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn81eNvg01g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7jly5aawkwdc
