It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we Southerners have talked a fair amount of malarkey about the mystique of being Southern.
You know, Southerners are pretty cool.
I live with one foot in the sand and one in the snow. There's European egocentricity, and the African opposite. I normally say that my African experience has made me a better European.
Southerners are also like ethnic groups in that they have a sense of group identity.
Southern people remind me a lot of Australia.
South America was not really that open - you had to fit in, and I didn't fit in. I was different - my tastes, my point of view - were a bit weird, and I found in Britain a sense of calm, that I could just be.
I am just as comfortable in Britain and France as I am in America... but nowhere is perfect.
There's no such thing as being too Southern.
There's something about Southern women that is so unique yet so universal. Strong southern women are allowed to be soft and feminine and have a sense of humor. But what I love about Southern women in particular is their universality.
I, on the other hand, have a bit of a southern accent.
