It's a good thing to look back.
There's a saying in the Philippines "Kung hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, hindi makararating sa paroroonan" means that if you don't remember or appreciate where you came from, it will be hard to succeed in life. It's a reminder to value your past and the people who helped you, because it helps guide you toward a better future. 😊🩷
Oh I love that phrase so much! When I first left the United States I wanted to distance myself as much as possible from that culture and my past. Now I am learning to combine my life now with the past, even if it isn't a lineal process.
Thank you so much for your encouragement with this comment and all the others, you are so wise and creative, I really appreciate your feedback.
Are you originally from the Philippines and now live in the UK?
