  So… time to stay insane?

  I actually just realize I probably am so bad at my native language precisely because of the trauma disincentivising me from wanting to learn more… so yeah…

  I’m just sectioning off all the emotions and hide it away in a part of my brain called “Cantonese” aka, the trauma language.

  English is my escapism language. Where I can forget about everything.

  No wonder why 2nd generations just hate their ancestral language…

  All that reminds them of is fucking trauma
