Let me start by saying this has been a dream of mine that has come to fruition, finally. I had the intention of starting this blog a year or two ago, but something always got in the way whether it was my schedule, nerves, or simply laziness (for lack of a better term). I have written and rewritten in my head some of the blog posts I wished to create, imagined how I would say and present things, but when it comes down to it I figure I can't make everyone happy and should focus on the message, and what I wish to express to everyone as a whole.
On that note, I'd like to say that this is not a blog about fashion, current events or crafting etc. This is the experience of one mixed girl hoping to reach out to other multi-ethnic people all over the world, and possibly educate others that don't come from a multi-cultural background as to my experiences and how difficult it can be to traverse the world as a walking question mark. (I say question mark because everywhere I go, people either assume, guess or wonder what I am in their attempts to categorize me, somehow, in their internal ethnic glossary.) I will address this in blog posts, at times using poetry, and maybe share some of my creative writing (completely unrelated). Sometimes I will write about personal struggles and/or issues, and it will not merely be about being multi-ethnic or culture.
I would like it if my readers would not turn the comment section into a debate, but rather a forum for discussion or understanding. If you have nothing nice to say do not post please because your comment will be deleted. I would like my readers to come away feeling enlightened to a new perspective, more connected to me (for those who are friends), like they can relate to an experience, enjoy some good creative writing/poetry, and/or share their own experiences as well. I want my readers to be satisfied in some way, whether it's from reading posts, having a great discussion, or enjoying the creative writing. I would like for you to leave this blog feeling like you've broadened your horizon of knowledge, opened up your mind to others around you, and learn to love all people no matter what their ethnic background is because when it comes down to it we are all human.
Please read and enjoy!
