I am an Expatriot...Mentally |
|
Though it is literally impossible to declare myself an expatriot physically, I have decided to take the first step and do it mentally. I no longer want, or have the need to think like and American.
My decision isn't based off of the (in my opinion) rude and often times greedy mentality of the everyday American, it also thrives off of the newfound stupidity this nation has incurred. When reading books vice watching T.V., writing vice listening, and thinking vice sitting stagnant puts you on the outside, then that's where I prefer to be, away from the rest.
I simply can't thrive in an eviroment such as America. It's too restricted for me.

I understand your sentiment, but the word is expatriate (sorry, not usually a spelling snob).
