Hii
Want to find people with similar backgrounds
I’ve never come across anyone with the same ethnicity as me. Well, while having lived in Japan, I have come across indian communities but never half filipino.
My parents are currently still in Japan, I’m studying in the philippines right since I find it more comfortable and doable, also cheaper lol And I’ve always liked it here
But ever since I became a young adult, I’ve a few realizations or thoughts about my ethnicities. I was born and raised in the Philippines and I love what the ph culture has to offer but I was always treated like I’m not a Filipino, in a way? I know that I get tons of my physical features from my dad’s side and I was never made fun of for it here but other filipinos make me feel like im not filipino or judging my background off the bat? Idk it’s hard to explain honestly
And when it comes to my indian side, I have never been to india before (my dad’s from Bangalore, south india i think?) I frequently eat Indian cuisine because of my dad, he buys me lots of sarees and accessories from india but g0ddamn I feel so disconnected lol I’m always super interested, intrigued and excited and I take the time to learn about my dad’s religion I enjoy looking pretty in clothing and jewelry but idk it feels weird sometimes like I’m wearing a costume, I don’t even know how to speak tamil, me my dad speak in a mix of Japanese, english, and tagalog.
Because of this I’ve felt detached and disconnected from both.
But next year I’m gonna go to india for the first time and I’m honestly nervous cause I’ve never met my family there and it’s gonna be my first time traveling that’s not only 4 hours long so I’ll probably hate the flight lol but overall i just don’t know what to expect
Anyways, i hope this post reaches someone who’s in the same situation or have the same background :) I just want to relate to someone, just need my feelings validated is all
