Your blog post resonated with me greatly.

I'm also someone born in one culture, but was bought up in another. Cultural identity has always been a connundrum for me.

I've traversed the world in search of where i belong, still to this day, i do not feel i belong anywhere. I am so different, even my relatives don't connect with me.

All i can say is this: it's alright to be different. Probably we were born onto this plane to be this way, at this time, in this way. There are those out there just like yourself - a person from many places; just by expressing this thought alone (pun intended) creates the opportunity to be the candle in the darkness for others. And today, you were the candle in the dark for me.

I've recently made a blog post detailing my thoughts on the matter. It's the one pinned to my front page called "功夫 Gung Fu - Supreme Mastery". We resonate similar sentiments, thats why i'm sharing it with you.

Take care Olya. Be well and keep preparing for whats to come ahead. Agenda 2030 is no joke and the world is in utter chaos. Stay strong!

PS - hopefully if i achieve my dream of doing the Shikoku Pilgrimage next year, maybe we could have a sake together?
