Deep down I have this atavistic feeling that really I should be in the country.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really do feel part of America to my very bones; at the same time, I know that I come from somewhere else.
It's always overwhelming when you come to another country and you're embraced in such a positive way.
Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound.
But, finally, I just realized a few years ago that this is where I belonged. I mean everything I had was invested here, emotionally and every other way. And the country had invested enormously in me.
In a funny way, nothing makes you feel more like a native of your own country than to live where nearly everyone is not.
I'm glad I get to live in the United States of America.
I have become an American citizen, and I love this country. I think that this country has incredible potential for goodness, an incredible possibility for doing the wrong thing, too.
I feel like I'm capable of doing so many things to help people around the country and the world.
To this day, I get very nervous coming back into my own country.
I love going into a country and just blending.
