Identity & Belonging

At this point I am a hybrid. I am influenced by all types of things. You can't call me one thing. So I switch. Clothing, I switch speaking, I switch everything. The only thing that keeps me sane is my character. It doesn't matter if I am speaking slang, I am still nice. If I speak proper English or try to speak proper English, I am still nice. That taught me a lot about culture, race, and identity, and they are all different. Thank god for identity.
