I WEAR FUCKING NZ SOUVENIR SHIRTS EVEN#so now I have. te reo in my blog title. pākehā kiwi in my blog description.#IS THE ACCENT REALLY THAT INDISTINCT?????????#I can IMMEDIATELY tell when someone is kiwi vs when they're an aussie#my art teacher thought I was australian for THREE YEARS. I constantly submitted art assignments ABOUT NEW ZEALAND.#finally went back to aotearoa. so relieved to be around people who would never in a million years mistake me for australian#ONLY TO BE MET WITH 'your accent is so interesting? where are you from?'#ALL MY YEARS AT A BRITISH SCHOOL HAVE CHANGED ME. I AM A STRANGER TO MYSELF#I hope it is clear that I am overreacting on Purpose because it is Funny#this IS important to me though I love being kiwi its an integral part of my identity and my past and my future#british friends I love you. australian friends I love you. get me out of here#listen to my gibberish boy
