You Only Cry For Help If You

The Backstory To Anyone Of Mixed Race Is A Lifetime Spent Being Incorrectly Perceived And Choosing Either To Allow That Misperception To Continue Or To Correct It, So I Am Aware Of Identity And Race As Being Much More Fluid, I Think, Than Someone Who Is "purely" One Thing Or The Other. And Acting Does Challenge Me To Address Those Particular Issues.

I Think That's The Beauty Of The Current Setup, Is That Legends Is Meant To Be A Bit Of A Revolving Door.

I'm Hoping That What I Am Or What I'm Not Ethnically Doesn't Limit Me In Anyone Else's Eyes. I Guarantee You It Doesn't In Mine.

I Feel Extremely Lucky, Extremely Grateful, And A Little Bittersweet, Too.

My Experience Is That I Find Myself Having To Constantly Define Myself To Others, Day-in, Day-out. The Quote That's Helped Me The Most Through That Is From Toni Morrison's "beloved" Where She Says, "definitions Belong To The Definers, Not The Defined" - So I Find Myself Defining Myself For Other People Lest I Be Defined By Others And Stuck Into Some Box Where I Don't Particularly Belong.
