Identity Crisis?

I'm 3/4 Chinese, 1/4 Vietnamese, born in Thailand, raised Cambodian in America. Frick, what the heck does that make me? Its always a touchy subject...at least for me. My whole life, I've been trying to find myself. I've never really been Cambodian enough for Cambodian kids. I'm not Chinese enough for the Chinese people. I grew up in a multi-

but aren't you from denver? i know one thing for sure, you're an LJ-addict. ;)

seriously though, it doesn't matter. I'm 100% of one race and I still feel like a foreigner where ever I go. To make matters even more complicated, my girlfriend is white, and now we're having to deal with those issues and my family. *sigh*

hehehe you've created a MONSTER!!! I hope things get better phibeee, it's so great to read your journal. Sometimes Da and I have the same problems...your perspective helps me understand what he is thinking. We are 4 years apart...we're so different.

hey jezzi! i gotta agree with phi. looks like ur become like us- lj addicts! hahaha there is a way to embed ur lj into the kc page, so u won't have to post things twice. here's how-> . if u need any help on customizing ur lj, like layout,font,how to do this and that. the livejournal faq section is pretty clear-cut and easy to follow or u can ask phi and i.:)

i too feel as lost and out of place as u and phi. i actually had a lil autobiography i wrote up just for myself. i was thinking of expanding it into a book someday.. someday...:) it's here->BIObeing 2nd generation, 1st generation born on american soil and part of the oldest of this generation, i feel a lot of pressure to set examples for the younger generations, but i'm not even sure what my calling in life really is, but i hope to find it very soon. i'm not getting any younger

awww Kalli, thanks babe. Sometimes, I feel lost in the world....but the only way I really find my way through its chaos is by looking deep into myself. Only I have answers to my own insecurities. I too hope we can hang out sometime. You seem like such a fun person to be around. You're also down to earth and very pretty. Thank you for sharing your bio....I learned so much about you.

What an amazing post! I didn't even know any of those things about you, and I've known you for, ok so it's only been a year. I can't believe how much has happened in that year though. Your strength encourages me. Great pics, too!!! You are so incredibly photogenic.

Hi Laura :) You're so sweet...thank you for the kind compliments. I'm not sure how worthy I am of them. It has actually been almost two years now that we've known eachother. I had Schornack's class with you right after I got back from my trip abroad. I know what you mean though...we see eachother like every other day and besides from the usual boyfriend blabber and school crap...we don't get to converse much about who we are. Perhaps we can catch up over sushi sometime. hehe
