Key Points

• KA Rung is Filipino-British who was born and grew up in Australia.
• She is also queer and has a trans nonbinary partner who she says has helped her fully embrace her 'Filipino-ness'.
• Rung has ADHD and her maximalist style and home help her self-regulate.

I don't know who I am. People assume that I'm so aware of myself...but I'm in search of my identity because I feel like once I find that, I would feel at home. So many people say 'Home is where the heart is,' but what if my heart is broken?
