Why do those Eastern European types always makes things so complicated...

In your case, your native language is probably English, then. It's the language in which you can most easily express yourself and did not take much effort to learn. The language that comes "naturally" to you. It would be possible to have two native languages, I suppose. It's not uncommon for kids to be raised in a bi-lingual environment.
