I know my desire and/or love of Merrie Monarch has no bearing on whether I am Hawaiian or not BUUUT my feed is filled with Merrie Monarch love. I loooved dancing at the Polynesian Cultural Center BUUUT I don't looove listening to traditional Poly music Hawaiian OR Tongan. When I hear it I feel like I should be performing which I looove too but I don't just sit there enjoying it. People living here are watching it through the live streaming from some channel in Hawaii. I just remember it being on ALL the time and wishing it wasn't.

My Facebook feed is filled with Merrie Monarch viewers in Hawaii and even here and California.

This is how it is during football season too. I sooo don't care and everyone else cares sooo much. Then there's reggae music, HAAATE IT!!! There's even Poly reggae music. It's the only thing I hated about BYU-Hawaii dances - Hip Hop and R & B I looove, Reggae was played along with this EVERY OTHER SONG!!!

I know I don't have to love these things to be Hawaiian or Tongan or Polynesian in general, I just wonder why there's no love there. When PCC performs in Utah I could care less about watching their show. STILL I loved performing. I'd rather see a musical or the ballet. I never took ballet since we lived in Tonga when I could've done that and I want to learn how to sing better.

I feel like I have some sort of problem. I know it's fine and I'm fine. I know I shouldn't feel ANYTHING from Facebook. I'm just wondering what the hell is wrong with me.
