[@monstaxmonbebefighting6425]

This video holds so much importance. While a lot of people don't see a reason to faikava bc it's just "a bunch of men sitting around a bowl of kava", the truth is that it's so much more than that. They discuss life matters, try to escape reality for however long they can with their friends and try to, in that moment, unwind. Everybody in the world has their ways of doing that and for most Tongan men that's what faikava is for them. I love when my uncles or relatives go faikava, bc when they come back their so happy and I know there's a tipsy factor to that happiness lol but they deserve to go and have fun and be with their friends. There's nothing wrong with that. ❤😩😭

[@monstaxmonbebefighting6425]

PS, omg ALL their voices are so amazing😭 I nearly cried when I watched the whole thing and can't stop replaying. You can hear the emotion in their voices😭 I love it

Can I copy & paste this, & text it to my lady?

[@Jared_09]

This comment is facts. At times I felt so beaten and at times I even thought of suicide, because of the pressure from everything I've been through. But having Kava with my boys is what I needed. Seeing and hearing of what we been through together growing up made me realize that I have to live. For my family and for the boys. If you ever feel like giving up. Just know that you have family and people out there that still think of you. So Im going to appreciate life and endure till the end with the boys. Stay safe my usos and tokos.

[@auotukun872]

As I was slowly passing by an orphan's home one day, I thought I'd stop a little while just to watch the children play. Alone, a boy was standing, and when I asked him why, He turned with eyes that could not see and this was his reply. I'm nobody's child, nobody's child. I'm like a flower, just growing wild. No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles, Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child. People come for children to take them for their own, But they seem to pass me by and why I never know. I know they want to take me, but when they see I'm Blind, They always pick some other child and I am left behind. I'm nobody's child, nobody's child. I'm like a flower, just growing wild. No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles, Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child. No mommy's arms to hold me and soothe me when I cry, Sometimes I feel so lonely, I wish that I could die. I'll walk the street of heaven where all the blind can see, Then I'll be like other kids, There'll be a place for me. I'm nobody's child, nobody's child. I'm like a flower, just growing wild. No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles, Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child.

Li'ekina sums up feeling lonely n rejected. When anyone feels the need for love or to be counted in life. A cry also for God's love in time or situation that someone feels out of touch with kindness, love and mercy. The rest of the lyrics is about the journey in life. There is difficulties and pain and yet there is hope. Please keep on sharing your love so that the world will never see anyone Li'ekina.
