Ohhhā¦thank you for sharing. I love that you have come to that realization! (I know many donāt care much for culture or religion, and thatās ok too!) But honestly, I personally feel that we are so lucky to have south Asian culture. It is just so so rich and vibrant in every which way, from clothing, to food, to literature, music, dance, languages with beautiful words,sounds, and meanings that you canāt just translate. To me it adds such a beautiful dimension to life. I know for some itās not important, and again thatās ok too, but for me personally, it is HUGE. I also grew up in Canada and initially only liked white guysā¦later on though, we had plenty of brown guys here, so my choices changed. My husband grew up in the US and had NEVER thought heād end up with a brown girl. Never!!! (Although I will say, I know many girls/boys who married non-brown people and still are heavily into their south Asian culture.) Hoping you find THE BEST fit for you soon <3 <3 <3
