I'm super happy you understand my perspective on this.
I have lived in many, many places....
But America has never felt much like home to me except once when I lived tucked away deep in a forest and life was very peaceable and INCREDIBLY simple.
Plus, my neighbors were FANTASTIC!!!!!! Real simple plain spoken folks. South Dakotans.
We loved them so much!
Generally, I thrive on the variety of life going on in other countries.
Here, it is dead and kinda stilted.
Even now, I find most of my friends are foreign born.
