Charn

All of those things and much more.

I can usually sense when I'm about to be asked 'Where are you from?'. In those few seconds before I'm discerning if what they actually mean to ask is where I live, where I was born, or what my ethnic background is?

The answers to all three of those questions are different. It can be quite anxiety-inducing trying to determine the true intention behind people's curiosity and which answer I should give. Plus, it's tedious and boring having to explain my existence, as I have done it a million times before.

Despite that the answers to those questions make up a part of who I am, they don't make up every part of me. I am all of those things and much more, but who said it was your business?
