I like the fact that I was born in Uzbekistan. Growing up I realized that being different is more interesting. It's like I don't know where I am. I'm neither a complete American nor Tatar. Rather than saying what country I'm from, I just want to reply 'does it really matter.' I'm just me :)

Where exactly am I from?
This may sound emo... so lately I have been wondering about which country I belong to. I know it's a little strange to say, but I honestly feel lost. Here everyone asks 'where are you from?' and I reply the US. When finding out I can speak Russian... they ask again, 'wait... where are you from?' to which I reply Uzbekistan. Despite this, I feel that I am more American since most of my life has been spent in the US.
