while i do identify with being australian im not actually aussie by blood in any way and for a long time ive been wanting to get more in touch with my greekness.... i feel like i dont know anything about it. i just dont know how to go about learning. sigh
#i guess i could try asking my family but somehow i feel like itd be awkward to ask#i should really continue learning the language#i dunno why i wasnt taught it growing up considering everyone on the greek side of my family speaks it at home#its up to me now tho#it feels like really bad in a way. my family was discriminated against for being greek upon coming here#& currently nobody in the youngest generation of our family (including myself) knows how to speak greek#its not nearly the same crisis as it is for other cultures greeks arent dying out or anything but yknow still#i dont see my extended family nearly as much as i used to (things happened). at least were still on good terms#im english too lol but i dont feel as strongly about that half of myself#i guess probably because it doesnt feel as different from being aussie as being greek does#my feelings towards all this are actually a bit more complicated than what ive been saying. greece is hardly a paradise#but eh. tumblr post
