I’ve been listening to @U2’s song #Invisible on repeat, multiple times, and after looking up some annotated lyrics on a website called Genius - this has become one of only a few songs that has clicked on me on a personal level. Bono’s not only singing for the fans, or the people that are aware of a disease known as AIDS or even those that are affected by it - he’s also talking about the relationship he had with his father. To be honest, this is the same situation I have right now, just under different circumstances. It’s been like it since middle school, when I was suspended 3 times - 1 per school year - for wrongdoings I wish to not discuss right now. It’s also been like it since I joined the brony fandom in 2012, which I’m considering departing from for various reasons that I will address should I choose to do so, It’s been tumultuous because I was the first member in my immediate family to be suspended from school. It’s been like it because, for the most part, chose to shun my father (whom I call him “Papa”) and subconsciously reject his words of philosophy he brought with him - along with me and my family - from the Philippines (which is where I was born). I’m not asking for sympathy or anything like that; I only want to address what’s REALLY going on right now. And that’s something I intend to do for as long as I live… unless if I pull out a Robin Thicke move, accidentally or on purpose just to woo somebody back into my life. Thanks.

SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT!

I've put out a brand new song on Bandcamp just recently, and it's a remix to the theme song of the CBeebies/Disney Junior show The Octonauts. Been obsessed with this kiddie show recently and decided to give its opening theme an Armin van Buuren-esque remix. Go download it NOW!

It is not something you have to discuss, but I'm glad that you're putting it out there. It shows a kind of strength in which you are not afraid to speak out about what is bothering you. I hope that the complicated relationship that you are having with your father does not consume you. If it becomes too much, know that you do not need to deal with it alone.
