I love a lot of the things my country does, but I'm entirely not sure if I love my country. I don't feel a loyalty to this island, but I appreciate the hell out of it's history and it's culture and it's people. I feel a loyalty to the planet more than I do to the part of it I was born and raised on.
If my country was a girl, she would be shy and more reserved than the rest (although not without a wild side), generous and kind, intelligent, with a sense of tradition, witty and thoughtful of other people. She'd have a strong moral code and by God she'd stick to it. She'd have some less-desirable best friends and would make enemies easily with a lot of people without fear. Everyone would know her name but she wouldn't be either popular or infamous. She'd have some regrets and a troubled past. She'd do some things wrong, and she'd make thoughtless mistakes and not apologise for them. She'd hurt other people without meaning to, but she'd always feel a sense of guilt about it.
She wouldn't be perfect, but she'd be someone I could love, in a weird sort of way.
Do you love your country?
