Makes Me Wonder

While reading R.A.W by Diana Son. I was really shocked and speechless. These women are so blatant about their feelings. I've never heard this line before in a literary piece before, " Who'll have dinner on the table and dessert between my legs. Who will give him the blowjob of his life." Maybe it's the fact that I've been so sheltered and that I haven't been able to experience these things before. Also i really liked the fact that there were many different stories within one literary piece. There's the korean girl, whose parents wouldn't let her american boyfriend, Paul, eat any of their ethnic food. There's the queer asian girl, which everything thinks is really cute. But no one would in their wildest dreams, think that she was a lesbian. Then there's the "we were not a classic Korean couple." They were together for a while, but then when he said he loved her in korean "sarang-hae", she didn't say anything back. She couldn't say it because "how could [she] use words that had no meaning to me to say what I knew in my heart." I understand how she feels though. My ex-boyfriend was viet, and when i told him that i loved him, i said it in english. I couldn't bear to say it in viet, because somehow it wouldn't feel the same to me. I would simply just feel like an imposter.
