i always tip 4 bucks for all my rides, which is usually 3.7 miles for anywhere from 9 to 15 dollars. am i a good tipper?

i’m hispanic and because i don’t speak spanish i feel like an imposter or like a fake mexican for it.

my grandmas were born here close to home in america and my grandpas are from mexico, one lives here in the US and one does not. both of my parents were raised in texas and they both speak spanish but prefer english and almost always speak english throughout their day to day lives. i guess because of that they didn’t really think to focus on teaching me to speak fluent spanish. ofc i know things, like foods and easy phrases, but i don’t really speak it. even though my mom knows spanish very well from spending time in mexico, she didn’t teach me seriously as a kid. because of that it feels like i can’t even call myself a mexican. and yeah i know i could just learn but it feels like such an unobtainable goal, or like a chore. my cousins speak spanish. my tios and tias speak spanish. why don’t i?

a few months ago i (F20) was brooding over telling my family i’m in a serious relationship with a man 32 years older than me. but recently i got the courage to tell my stepmom, my sister and my brother. i was still really nervous to tell everyone else in my immediate family, so my stepmom went ahead and told them for me because me and my boyfriend were about to take a little vacation together about six hours away. thank god she did because i was running out of time. anyway, my family reacted so so much better than i was afraid they would. they supported us and they wanted to meet him as soon as we were ready. some were of course shocked and really throwed off, but they accept him and they of course accept and still love me! so yay
