No. I left at 18 and kept moving. Currently 270 miles away.

Yep. Just across the tiny river in the same tiny town.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
Nope. I grew up near New York City, and I now live about 1000 miles away in the north central US.

I do now, five years ago my dad lost our house do to my medical bills. I’ve always felt very guilty about that. We finally got back on our feet and bought a house a few blocks away from where I grew up. We lived for the past five years in two different apartments, and I never really felt at home. I felt like we were on vacation because the apartments for a pre-luxurious, but as for apartments go, it’s not a lifestyle that’s very fun. I finally feel like I’m back home and I’m glad to be here.

2brandon2 · 18-21, M
@Abbenthewarwolf thank you Ab’ben nice to see you comment. I wasn’t expecting anyone to respond lol 😂

@2brandon2 You really shouldn't feel guilty about your dad having to meet the cost of your medical needs. You had no control over your health problems and it would have been inconceivable that your dad would not make the necessary sacrifices. I can't imagine it being a problem over here. We have a National Health Service that is free at the point of entry. It is by no means a perfect system but at least people don't lose their homes to pay for their children's needs.
Nimbus · M
Yes in a way.
It has changed so much over the years sometimes it's difficult to tell!
bowman81 · M
I do. Except for a stint in the Army, I have lived within 35 miles of where I was born

Negative - about 500 miles South.
Poeticdiva · 31-35, F
Nowhere near it😭
Ferric67 · M
No. But my place of employment is probably maybe 20 to 30 minutes drive away. I currently live probably an hour away from where I grew up.
Yeah, I bought a house (260 miles/418K) my wife and I have for her work, but moved into the house I grew up in to help out my folks.
SW-User
kinda... same region of the country but several hundred miles away from where i graduated high school
Not at all but I always knew I wouldn't
MsMiley · 31-35, F
@PepsiColaP did you just want to experience new things?
@MsMiley yes and just be independent ,do my own thing
MsMiley · 31-35, F
@PepsiColaP that makes sense. I fell the same way.
Freddie222 · M
Nope. 230 miles away and 60 something years later. Many house moves around the country. Parents moving for work and now us moving to improve home life while our kids were at home. Recently retiring to the coast. Haven’t been back to my home town for over 30 years. It had changed so much then and no doubt even more now so it’s best lodged in my childhood memory in the days of steam trains, pounds shillings and pence and black & white television.
Jeephikelove · 51-55, F
Not at the moment but in 12 days I’ll be living about an hour from where I grew ip.
smiler2012 · 61-69
{@winterwitch] 😆lol never moved an inch from where i was as a kid still in the same home
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
All my life, I've lived in a few different places, all within the same province.
icedsky · 51-55, M
Work in the same city I grew up in. Live further away in the countryside.
calicuz · 56-60, M
Hell no, I moved away 20 years ago, and I never want to see that God forsaken town again. 😤😂
michaela2001 · 70-79
Nope, about 6178 kilometers or 3839 miles from where I grew up.
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
Yup, I do. It makes me sad that it has changed so much over the years.
ineedadrink · 51-55, M
I've moved around some, so can't really say I grew up in one place.
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
No I live on the other side of the country
Not currently. I’m on the other side of town.
Magenta · F

nope- different state
Nicoleknows · 46-50, F
Yup. Ruston, LA
TheFragile · 46-50, M
7.8 miles and 18 minutes away from the house/neighborhood I grew up. It's actually in a different county. In a lot of respects, where I live now is not too unlike how it was where I grew up before they overdeveloped everything.

CestManan · 46-50, F
About seven miles away.
Seems like it is way further but nope, that close.

Weird thing is that I still miss it even though it is in some run down apartment complex.
I used to, but since have moved.
That first place will always be home, there's nothing that can ever take its place.
MellyMel22 · F
Not too far. I was close to moving back, but decided not to b/c the school districts aren’t good there.

What about you?
MissTaken · 36-40, F
When I’m at my country cottage the answer is yes but when I’m in London nope 😂😂
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
Yes! We have traveled to many places here and abroad, but it's always nice to come home
