"Deepen Your Roots. Become Unshakable." Hi everyone. I'll be using the name Darwin Lapu as my alias for this blog. Some background info on me is that I've lived and grew up in the bay my whole life. I've never really been to the Philippines, except for when I was really young for a couple of days. I don't remember any of the trip, so I don't count it personally. Growing up here I fell in love with things like basketball, football, hip-hop, video games, books, and comic books. Those were all things I loved from the jump, but one thing I dreaded then grew to appreciate was my faith. My parents forced me to take CCD classes and I hated it because it took time away from things I wanted to do after school, and in my head going to church on Sundays was enough. As I got older and my view of the world got rougher and tougher, my faith grew stronger. Its corny, I know but its something thats important to me now and I'm forever grateful to my parents for giving me something that will be with me for the rest of my life. Decolonization is the act of getting rid colonization, or freeing ones self from dependence of another country.
Decolonization can also be a journey one takes internally. Understanding their past, culture, and what parts of that they've lost growing up in a place that wants you to leave that behind. In a decolonized world it would look like a place where western and indigenous cultures are taught and viewed equally. You would be able to understand any way of living by experiencing it.
