I'm used to people guessing my ethnic background and it's something I realized I could have fun with early on. For example, when I was 5 I told the neighbor that I was an Eskimo and had lived in an igloo. I guess it led to an embarrassing conversation between her and my parents. Anyway, I guess I am comfortable in my own skin (ethnically/racially) but to get there I first had to discover the power of making other people uncomfortable. These days, I'm not comfortable with the path I've been on and now I'm waiting to see if all those seeds I've been planting will lead to something. Dermatologically, been using lots of moisturizers (face, lotion, feet, hands) and a humidifier, but I still feel dry.
From here on out, you shall be known as Nanook. That's pretty funny man, you were a clever kid. I hope that path you are embarking upon works out for you and that your skin doesn't crack.
