Do You Believe in Love
I’ve known that I am different from a traditional American woman. For starters, I am not white
and therefore, I must expect different standards that coincide with my culture. But even so, the
depictions of love that I have seen in Bangladeshi media and movies don’t differ much from American
media. Albeit, south Asian media is a lot more sensored to go along with cultural and religious
standards. Regardless, the only real form of love that I witnessed growing up was on television and from
books. How can I claim that love is real then?
My parents are terrible examples of love. I have never seen them show much affection with
each other (mostly because of religious standards).
