Who or what am I?
who or what am i?
no, im not going through an identity crisis. But ive been tossing some thoughts through my head lately and wanted to see what people thought about their own identities.
as an australian of lebanese heritage, i find that when people ask me where im from, its hard to define in just one word or one nationality. i usually have to explain it to people..and i have to do this whenever i meet someone new.
how do i define myself? do i say im australian? am i lebanese? or do i just not define myself. i think everyone needs an identity, so option 3 is out of the question.
for me, im lebanese first and australian second. primarily because i could have been born anywhere.. i could have been born in Senegal..but id still be lebanese. i'll always be australian though and it is where i call home, and my love of australia is made even more solid now that i live overseas.
the order of what i am though doesnt bother me.. lebanese australian, or australian lebanese.. it doesnt really matter.
now i know that a lot of us here at tfp are of mixed ethnicities, so how do you define your nationality/heritage?
