Identity crisis

To my friends who talk about identity.

I am Romanian. Like many of my Romanian friends, I don't live in Romania. Romania and its history lives in me.

I have all sorts of Romanian "palls" around me. Most  - even those who have lived here many more years than they lived in Romania - still call themselves "Romanians", first (and "Americans", second). I do know those few who think they are "different than the other Romanians".
To them I say: you are who you feel you are. But if you don't have a sense of your own identity anymore, the only thing you can be is: LOST.
