Well F#$% that stupid law/tradition IMMA MAKE MY OWN CULTURE WHO'S WITH ME!?

but seriously tho, it kinda makes me sad that the culture that i was born into would 'disown' me if i left the religion, most people wouldn't care about it but to me it feels important. The identity, the traditions, the customs, the stories, the morals behind the stories. of course i wouldn't forget them, just that if i told them to my kids or hear it myself it would be just like an outsider's perspective...and that makes me sad.

don't get me wrong some if not most of the things i mention above may have included restrictive rules or sexist rules or too superstitious or even too traditionalist. but the few good parts are precious and the thought that these things survived and changed through time by ancestral teaching and knowledge sounds so precious but now i can't have that cause now I'm considered an outsider.

but i am serious what i said earlier, i think when i get out of this country I'm stuck in, i think I'll start a new culture, a better one and maybe based on somethings from the one i was born in. what do you guys think, would like to hear a comment from a melayu or someone from southeast asia, i would especially like to see what you guys think.

or i might be getting over my head here 😅
