I'm hoping this will help me (and maybe you) to understand, grow, learn, feel, reflect, wonder. Life is an amazing experience, maybe this is my way of holding on to (or maybe letting go of?) things that make up my experience and my life. Enjoy :)

Asians at my school are among the best at making me feel excluded because of my race. No, not all Asians do this and not even all Asians at my school, but the ones that do make me feel horrible and unwelcome.
I'm sorry :( Strangely enough, it's the same for me here. I have Asian friends here, of course, but there are those who ONLY hang out with other Asians, and I don't qualify as an Asian for them because I'm to American rather than Korean in culture. When I see them hanging out together I feel unKorean and abnormal... Hope you feel better. There are so many others who love you regardless. <3
Friendship is colorblind, and those who exclude based on race are not good friends, not even to those they are friends with. Love you and I hope things get better. <3
