My name is Kei Sakura Gomez. I'm 22 years old, born on 10/24/83, living in San Diego, CA with my parents. I'm a gay female, came out when I was 14 years old, and I'm waiting for that special person to find me and make me her own forever. I write stories and poetry about my life experiences, mainly concerning my lifestyle but other subjects as well. I own one cat and I'm planning on moving out the house soon. I attend San Diego City College and currently taking Anthropology 102 and Women's History 2. I enjoy all things Japanese, as well as all things Mexican (recently I found out I have some traces of Japanese lineage). My desire to protect my Japanese identity affects who I am inside myself. A part of me feels a sense of loss that I'm only one quarter Japanese, yet I have lightbrown skin, black hair, brown eyes, and that I do not have many Asian features. I feel as if my Japanese part of myself is hidden, and the Mexican side of myself has taken over my appearance. Though I look a bit more like a Mexican...or a white person, I guess...I feel a sense of joy that I now know that I'm connected to my favorite country in the world, despite it being only a smidgen. I enjoy Mexican food all the same, but I truly love sushi and Pocky moreso. I feel Japanese food is much healthier for me. I always listen to my anime music and that's when I feel my "hidden Japanese self" truly shines. I enjoy samurai movies the best, as well as mobster movies. I always enjoy going to the local Japanese store and looking at things that make me wonder about my life. I'm a semi-Buddhist, that meaning that I never meditate, but I believe that every person is always good inside. Also, I believe that the Buddha watches over all of us and sends his spirits to us whenever we need them.
