A name is merely a label...
Dear Family,
As you may know, my name has always been an issue for me. I was the only Asian in my town, and soon enough found out I was not the only one with this name. At times I wish I had something more unique, something crazy that expressed my creative side. Other time, I'm okay with this name. I wondered though, what does it stand for? Who does it make me?
I realized after meeting all these Grace lee's, it doesn't make me who I am-it only gives me a label. It distinguishes me from the person I am sitting next to on the bus, or the people I work with. That is, unless it's a Grace Lee. Chances are though, that if it was a Grace Lee, we would look different. So there's that too. My name does not make me who I am.
Much Love,
Grace Lee
