So I'm still trying to understand what this concept of hyphenated life is or what it is. I even tried googling it with minimal results but did find a couple things that helped me to believe that this isn't an imaginary concept.
First-http://shiksafrommanila.blogspot.com/2007/03/hyphenated-life.html
This person talks about the hyphen and its significance as to who he is or as she puts it:
A hyphen is a small bar that looks like a minus sign. The dictionary further describes the hyphen as a punctuation mark used to divide or connect two words; to describe a person who performs more than one function; to describe a unit of mixed or diverse backgrounds.
Understanding the actual term helps as it helps to clarify what the the term means and n relation to this blog. So I'm not sure really struggle with hyphenated life in my own life other than previously mentioned and this concept is to "deep" for me because i would rather keep things simple and be me and do what i want to do rather than have to juggle between different parts of me.
Obviously i can see why people find this important trying to maintain the different parts of them and trying to act based on cultural or ethnic expectations which i guess is fine but i would rather not ave to do that and rather make my own expectations to live by.
So i guess this is all for now by the way this is Shafin again, thought i would mention it again so people would know who is speaking.
