Do you think the pain of rejection and not belonging make you stronger or damage you?
I was interviewed by ABC News on TCKID with my friends Ruth Van Reken and Daniela Tudor and we discussed the benefits and the health challenges of being culturally mixed:

Breaks you. Completely and utterly shatters you. It makes you lose something that you will never get back.

I think TCKIDS have very high self-awareness, sometimes to the point of it being too suffocating for us. We know ourselves too well. And a deep desire to connect with another person.

My experience was more that of just not really belonging...I think I lost my identity. I had become so good at adapting that I didn't know who I really was inside. I didn't have enough time to develop meaningful relationships, so I felt like an outsider and I didn't understand why I didn't connect with anyone. I'm 28 now, and I've become aware of myself in a way that I don't think a lot of my peers have. I know myself better - what I like, what I need. I think that makes me stronger.

Hey there nice video.. I am not lying if i say you get used to rejection, in a way its us taking on bigger resposibility to become more wise. After a while you will see that you are always have belonged just that journey made you realize something.
