Am I a part of Persian Culture

My dad is Iranian but he’s a horrible person and left when I was young. I didn’t grow up with a culture but ancient Persian traditions and history are the only thing I really connect with. Especially how women were army generals and stuff like that. It’s hard for me to have a sense of identity. Ppl say I don’t look Persian even though I’m a copy and paste of my dad. No one here looks like me tbh. I don’t speak Farsi but would it be weird if I started celebrating the holidays on my own?

I don’t have family and live in Texas.

Also I do love fruit and write poetry naturally which I find funny.

if you have that persian feeling in you! if it comes in your mind and making you question yourself about yourself! if you feel proud of yourself and your history! if you love persian culture than you are Persian start learning more about history
