David, just needs to record stuff like this and put it up daily he would have millions of viewers, spoken word, simple, great story teller!!! thanks David. peace.
I can tell ya from writing and speaking experience, this is quite precisely written with frequent ad-libbed interludes, and it took many hours to write. Probably not something a person can do every day, unless they become totally obsessed with just that mission. For more though, check out the stuff Dave's been uploading to his own RUclips channel recently. It is excellent.
David hasn't ex[perienced anything new. Millions of people have and will continue to. He is just a very honest individual. Which is very rare in this world.
As a 28 year old Japanese American male , I can identify a lot with his struggles with his family and the path to find healing. Thank you for sharing DAvid. We bow to you
I thought I would watch maybe 10 or 15 minutes but I got sucked in and watched until the end. All of that stuff about how everyone has a hurt, broken child inside them is the gospel truth. You learn to nurture that child and it opens the door to healing old scars and forgiving those who gave them to you. You grant yourself freedom when you let go of the past and stop reliving the painful memories. Honor the fact that the pain made you stronger, but don't let the pain disturb your peace of mind.
im a 27 year old white dude from a broken home with trauma, alcoholism and all that shit. my sole worry in life is making my father proud and even when he says he is my fucked up brain doesnt want to believe it. but dave is an inspiration man. i love how deep digs within himself and the fact he has worked on his mental/emotional sobriety so much.
I'm an artist, I'm black, never hated Asians, grew up in Los Angeles around the same time as a David Choe and I relate to DC in several ways. NEVER stop drawing and painting and giving the world an window to your mind. David Choe is the truth!!
Why would you need to say you never hated Asians? We don't even talk about them, nor are we the ones talking like them. They kinda watch, copy and talk about us man.
I'm born in raised in Orange County but I just got out of Mexican rehab and when someone asked me what is your greatest desire? my 31 year old ass said "to make my parents proud". It was the first time I ever said that. David Choe is spot on with that.
I am a laotion American refugee. I grew up in gambling dens..so I can relate to a lot of thing DC went through. The art of sound and visual is dope.. It reminds me of the art teacher Bob, the guy with the curly hair.. The way he brought us into the painting.. But it wasnt so much the painting but the experience of listening to teacher story and seeing it happen in real time
You’re a beautiful human being David. Thank you for this. As a fellow Asian American there’s a lot that resonates with me and my upbringing and my inner struggles. Thanks for helping me process.
I love David, his courage, his creativity, his vulnerability, his art! I enjoyed immensely watching and listening to this new format, original and refreshing!
I've been watching this guy a while now and I've realised that he speaks to me in a way other people are too afraid to. It makes me realise that he's not speaking to me directly. He's speaking for himself and at the same time he must be talking for himself and at the same time, almost every motherfucker on the planet. He's saying what everyone must be thinking nowadays. I don't know what that is. I'll tell you what though, it brings me more comfort than any professional, parent or religions could ever bring. Thank you.
I can't even explain it properly. I just love him. I'm so happy he's here and he's just letting his thoughts out. It's made me realise that it's ok for things not to make sense. I love him. He's a genius.
Ahhh! I love listening to a raw and truth telling Asian artist who busted the mold for all Asians (men/women)... Healing our own inner child takes years to master. And that is our masterpiece while we are all here. We are all love. Connected to one consciousness. Heal the kid within and you will normalize feeling joy, peace, love, empathy, kindness, compassion, and be the change the world you needed when you were a scared little helpless kid. We got this! One love to one and all. :)
Good thing of loosing both if my parents and my early 20’s is that i dont had that preassure anymore… about having to make them proud and be somebody Bad thing is that sometimes i miss them and also, now, almost 20 years later…. I feel more alone and with a deep feeling of non-belonging
I'm white &I lived a life I didn't want to live to make my mother proud. My mother is a perfect, over achieving, workaholic. She retired from work, but she still makes money. Just before I turned 40, I decided to unravel my life by divorcing my husband, selling my business, sold my house, left my beloved home town of Portland to be closer to my mom in Arizona, had back surgery and a couple more failed relationships, and then my son moved out to be an adult. After turning 40, I decided to stop trying to impress my mom because it was never going to be enough. So now I don't try to make her laugh when things get tense, I don't bend over backwards to be in her good graces, and when something is bothering me or when she crosses a boundary or says something mean or intrusive, I speak up and call her out. Usually she attacks me for failing some expectation she had so she attacks me, I react, then she gets mad and sometimes she cries in the end. Fun. I think she's a narc. Maybe I am too but I don't think so.....At 50, I thought I would know so much more than I do. I feel like I know way less now than when I was 3 years old, and I much prefer dogs to people.
Hi Dave, Steve here. I’m sorry for posting a comment awhile back. It went something like this, “how much therapy does a millionaire need.” It was senseless and rude, and I apologize.
Thanks for the content♥️ You mentioned to drop a comment, here’s a short story- I am white, an artist, 32 years of age. I get to live a comfortable life, now. I am 4th generation American, come from a poor family of immigrant ranchers, I am 1 of 5 kids. Addict mother who passed away, father in prison for 15 years. Most of my family are narcissists, addicts, violence, a few criminals. It it what it is, but just to give an idea of the journey that kid had to travel through. I had to learn to survive and protect myself, help raise younger siblings, start a new life @18 and come out on good terms for myself and others around me… that familial trauma bond can be rough when you try to become your own person after the set up our parents have gifted us. Man, it’s been wild, but somehow I still always hoped I made my parents proud. Nothing ever seemed good enough, so I was seeking who’s approval?! I still do therapy which has changed my life, but you know….. somehow those childhood hardwiring memories keep a small voice that reminds us…. “We may not be good enough”. Even though the original people we try to please is a damn narc/addict/one who chooses violence and verbal aggression on children... THERAPY, THERAPY for anyone who struggles. Somehow, I am now proud to have great relationships and enjoy life and used art to keep me sustaining and healthy. Thanks for the inspiration, dedication and vulnerability David Choe!
That was incredible. Thanks for sharing David. What a journey. I hope your journey of self love continues and you continue to make greater peace and harmony with everything you can, the good and the bad. Set yourself free brother. You deserve it
I’m a mamas boy, and she is loving beyond words, but I also know I’ll never make her as proud as I wished I could. I struggle with addiction and mental health, and while she understands that, she doesn’t understand why I’d commit myself to a creative life when it doesn’t pay the bills. I just want to be myself and be accepted point blank period…by someone, sometime. Until then, I do it for myself and my dog. ❤
I'm 60+, my boyfriend is 44 Korean. David...why didn't I meet you first? LOL I hear this from my boyfriend too about his family. Being a WASP, we also have our problems. We don't talk about things... unless they're good things. Bad things are pushed down & hidden. Family abuse, drugs, etc... Honor, surface rich, .... it's a problem with every family...there's always "something". :) Got big love for you David Choe.
I dont need to focus on them being proud. Its very nice if they are proud. But more important is to not hurt them and being honest, which makes it hard sometimes, cause this might be conflicting interests. We respect and love each other so we always end up doing good:)
I absolutely love how you talk about everything. The people feel and go through and then adding humor and just how you are on the show it’s incredible and you are so funny Lmfaoo!! 😂😂
I used to live and work in Southern cali doing carpentry, every single Mexican crew, be it painters, gardeners, etc, would listen to the exact same music on repeat... I never understood why, lol. 😂
As a Latina I'm highly offended but on the other hand I totally agree! I grew up in El Paso Tx...heard that shit all my life. Being Hispanic I never understood why Mexicanos play that crap and blast it. Yes, there is a difference. I'm a 5th generation that listens to everything...classical to gansta rap. Love the videos!
David, you speak as if you've been living my life except I am not Asian. But when I was in 4th grade I had moved to a new town, new school, etc and everyone thought I was Asian because my eyes were so squinty bc my mom didn't give a fuck when I went to sleep. But I, am a artist, graffiti for 15 years, been drawung my whole life. Been to jail. Was in punk bands for 20+ years, second opinion, no dice and face the rail, toured the whole us and Canada like you man... and my mom is the white version of crazy, guilt tripping and complimenting all at the same time. I just wanna say, I wanna be like you...except not Asian. You can keep that. But to hear all what you describe during "it all adds up" ...makes me feel better. So thank you!
We are all immigrants which 2013 to 2017. I had to work in Jeffersonvill Indiana, Shepardvill Kentucky and I realized how much i love home. Downey California
I did love them when i was little but they broke that. For years i lost contact. Then made contact again but I've realised for a while now that I'm just pretending. I say 'i love you' back to them but it's for their benefit not mine. And the more I say it so as not to hurt them, i realise I'm just hurting me.
Kimchi my Korean friends tell me it reminds them of Korea. I love making kimchi tacos and salsa , I am vegetarian today and gingsing works. My Korean friends told me, it gives you hard on which your girlfriend will love. It works.
I've never idk how to explain it but if more people were open as david I'd actually have an appetite instead of going 5 days in row not eating anything just because I ran out of weed and am fucked up and dead inside I've done everything trying to be a good catholic and I'm so fucking lonely I can't even be out in public I'm so antisocial it never ends does it
I think trying to live life for the approval of others is wrong. You didn't consent to being born, don't play their moral games of control. I'm a lazy fuk and my parents love me. Don't put on for anyone.

@@MrAirnike8 Because he brought it up.
Beautiful part about making your parents proud, and that parent being you. Honour yourself bro, you got this
this is hands-down one of the best videos on youtube

This is probably one of the most powerful messages I've heard lately. Thankful I stumbled upon it.

Being able to draw art or paint art makes me feel so free art is freedom
