can i rock out my hyphenated identity?

so i’m reading this girl photographer/artist/writer’s blog and she writes “i’m a 25-year-old female muslim-pakistani-american that has rocked out to her hyphenated identity on both coasts.” i was so struck by that. i have some crazy split identity. its so split i can’t even think about it as hyphenated.. i actually prefer “mixie” to “biracial” or “bicultural” cuz those last two sound so neat. that statement she made was so neat and so far from what it actually feels for me to be mixed/hyphenated. i don’t rock out my hyphenated identity, i just kinda figure it out as i go along. its not that clear. does this make sense? i’d love to be able to say “i’m a 23 year old female questioning -filipino-scotchirish-american-christian-budhhist that has rocked out her hyphenated identity on opposite sides of the world and all over the east coast” but i can’t! it’s dishonest. it’s not a crisis. it’s just inaccurate for me. what’s this about..
