I do speak my mind a lot more than when I was younger. I guess that's just my Polynesian background. That's how we are: just sit back and try and fit in, try and make everyone else happy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.
I speak my mind. That's who I am.
When I was young I used to listen to other people and to try and understand what they thought and where they were coming from. I listened and didn't speak.
I'm one who will always speak my mind and say what I feel!
I came here when I was almost 22. I'm perfectly bilingual, but I'm never going to sound like Sandra Bullock.
At times, I might have been too young; I might have been too naive at times and didn't understand who I really was to a whole culture.
You see young people, or kids, and they're fascinated by the way people talk. And that's great. But eventually you get to the point where you think, 'You know what? I don't care how you talk, I'm just listening to what you're saying.'
I'm looking forward to the time when we all look like Polynesians.
I don't know if it's because I'm Latina or something, but I have no problem speaking my mind.
Coming from an Asian culture, I was always taught to respect my elders, to be a better listener than a talker.
