Never felt any emotional attachment to the country I was born in.
It always felt really weird to “be a national”. Like for it to matter at all.
You don’t control where you’re born. I always felt it made more sense to create an attachment to things you develop a taste for.
And it felt like mass scale Stockholm syndrome for people to be so in love with the place they were born in.
This made me violently reject my native country when I went through an angry teenager phase. Now I appreciate it. But just like I appreciate any other country or thing.
