Identity runs in different directions
I've always had the trouble trying to figure who and what I really am. If I am filipino, what is my true history? The people that I know claim, with pride, their filipino-ness. Not all, but most. Why is it that Filipino-Americans really have no identity that proves to us that we are our own? Pretty much, being an American makes us individuals that believe in what we do, or in what others think we should. We watch television and discover heroes, idols, and people to look up to. I've always wanted to be the person that people look up to. Although, I've never really made a difference or did something spectacular to be someone's hero. My kindness, patience, and friendliness has built my identity. Whenever my race is brought up, I just tell people I am American. I was born and raised in San Francisco, California, United States of America. My ethnicity is Filipino. Words can really make someone think different of themselves. Along with my digression of different topics, I don't grasp another person's way of life. I live the way I want to live. No one has substantially ever tried to change who or what I am. There was once a time when I wanted to be this way or that way. My freshmen year of high school, I wanted to be a teeny-bopper with the other incoming Riordan freshmens, Jason, Nathaniel, and Joseph. So, I followed them all to Stonestown mall to kick it with the Mercy SF girls in the center quad. I was once a follower who knew nothing of leading other's to freedom. Now, I am the gifted one to assist other's to their own identity, OR TRY TO.
Who do you masturbate to? Aivy admitted to me yesterday that she masturbated to Thomas Ian Nicholas, also known as Kevin from American Pie. I told her I stroked it to Alyssa Milano. I'm crazy about Shannyn Sossamon, but I wouldn't do that stuff anymore. I admitted it, can you?
