Living outside of home country makes me miss Latvia, its people, traditions and spirit.
Being offshore I started to idialize Latvia and its inhabitants, but whenever I come back I understand again and again that nothing is changed, the same brainwashing speeches and stupid provocations under Mēs ♥ Latviju! banners.
When people will start to love its own country as it is, without any fantastic and unrealistic requirements to change.
