Maybe not... less of a person. But a little less of myself. I'm all that's left of my own culture. I'm carrying everything the air nomads ever taught me. I have friends and there are books, but it's not the same. Having more airbenders... that's the closest I can get. To the comfort I felt when I was younger a-and to my obligation to pass down everything my people were. So that they can live again. Otherwise? I can still be a person, but if I keep all of that inside me without ever getting to pass it down, I'll be less of myself.
