I actually feel i come from within, where everything and everyone comes from. But i cannot say the truth because people get offended, perplexed they think i m condescending. So i pretend and give them an answer. I say i come from Belize! The awkwardness is lifted for the questioner but to me,it gets accumulated, this inability to say the truth! that i come from within, from my heart!
Does anyone who is all natural, feel the same as me? How do you overcome this burden?

When I am asked, I tell people
"It is so obvious where I am from but so far nobody has been able to guess".
They make guesses but they are always wrong.
Then I say
"I am from my Mother!"
Everyone has a good laugh and nobody pursues the original question.
