Really, you just don't know how you will react until you spend time here. By all means, come, but do be realistic.

As for America, I one time felt like you. I no longer do. I have come to love America more since living abroad than I ever did while I lived there. I even have Old Glory hanging by my apartment door. I may become a permanent resident, but I would never give up my American citizenship. I have seen in three countries (France, Korea, and Japan) that the world would be a very different place, and probably for the worse, without America. You may come to feel as I do, although I am certainly not telling you that you will.
