Walking your path

I believe that we are all meant to do something in our lives, create something, cure something, be something whatever it is we all have a purpose. Living your purpose walking your path, is so critical to becoming who you need to be. What does it mean to be a Mexican American in 2010? This is a question I'm trying to answer for myself and I struggle. The very word "Mexican" means mixed, mestezo. We are a people who were blended from two world, vastly different from one another. And yes, some of our ancestors were products of rape, brutalization and enslavement. But there were almost certainly as many of them who were the products of romance, of forbidden love. Imagine that, there was a time in our world when loving the wrong kind of person could get you killed. It makes love seem all that more meaningful.

Being a single Mexicana, I wonder about what it would be like to date a Mexican-American guy, I never have, not because I dislike them or have any type rule against it, but because not a single one has ever asked me out.I though this might be due to some personality flaw of mine, but a very nice young girl I met the other day said the same thing, and she was incredibly beautiful. Which makes you wonder "what's up with that?". I'm sure there are thousands of single, wonderful, eligible MA guys out there, but where are they hiding and why are they avoiding their latina counterparts?
