I don't think this has ever mattered much before as it does to me now. But I'm not sure what my cultures are. I have an idea of what they are and I try to follow them but I don't think I am my culture. My mother is salvadorean and my dad is mexican. People say I don't talk salvi...whenever did salvi become it's own language. I sometimes think I can not relate with certain people because I am of both world. If i don't know some kinda salvadorean food people think i'm a sellout. aye! And now that I am gone from home. It is even more tough to figure this out. Not having my mom around to coach me on things I figure i should know.
My mexican roots are a question too. I do things too differently. I don't understand what should be right. My boyfriend is mexican and it's hard to understand him on that sense. We cannot be on page with this.
I honestly don't know why it bugs me now. I'm trying to relate with him and sometimes i feel like i can't because of this.
It's fustrating at times.
I wish i learned more about my roots earlier
:(
