I decided to create this blog for my need of an outlet to express myself and deal with the person that I am racially and physically. In it I hope to be able to release pain I have always held inside about literally being this "mixed" up person that I am.

I know there are many other biracial people out there who feel that it is offensive to say that we are mixed up and do not know who we are, I however, find it to be at this moment a very accurate description of who I am.

I am still trying to understand myself in this way and am still trying to be comfortable in my skin and love myself. I want to address the following questions of what am I, who am I, why am I? In ending, I would like to leave off with a teaching that shared with me by one of my elders:

Who are we? We are all those that come before us, we are the ancestors, the past. We are all those that come after us, we are the descendants, the future.
