Identity.

Hard topic to talk about. Most people would say Black-Japanese would best describe me, and I agree, although it is hard to claim the word "Japanese" because I have no DNA nor citizenship with Japan. All I have is the culture/influence, which is, arguably, just as significant.

Some people said I'm just black because of the way I look, others have said I am just Japanese because of where I was born. Me personally, I would much rather "be", regardless of what that may be, and I would hope that the people around would accept.

I also did not like that 'identity' is something I did not have worry about until I step foot in the states (the nation where I am supposedly supposed to feel more comfortable because it is my parents' culture and where my citizenship lies, but that makes another conversation).
