Did You Go Back Home?

No, I live in another country. I was born in Italy, I moved to France with my husband a couple of years after we married and ten years ago from France we moved to Switzerland. I would not go back to my big native city.

I sprouted wings as soon as I was old enough. The ink wasn't even dry yet on the documents my dad signed allowing me to go in the Navy when I packed my bags and left.

I live in the next town over from where I grew up so I didn't go but 5 miles away. I am a homebody, I wander but I always return.

I lived in my hometown until about 6 years ago. After moving away, I found that I had no interest in moving back home. But, we did move back for about a year and moved away again. If I had a choice, I wouldn't ever move back home.

I flew away. Went to collage, married and moved from NY to,Kansas, lived there all,over the state for 25 years with two years away one in Indiana and one in Missouri, then moved to Canada. Canada was closer to where I grew up so saw my parents more.

I moved out of the town I grew up in when I was 20. My parents still lived there at the time. They have since passed away so I have no reason to go there. I now live about 25 miles south of there.

I grew up and moved a state away. I do not miss home, but do try to visit some of the important people in my life.

I left home when I was 18 and never went back except to visit. I would not want to go back there either as I like where I ended up in all my travels.

No I dont live where I grew up Shellyann. Long way away. It is a long story but none of us can go home again..sad really.

I have moved more than 600 miles away from my childhood town and go back for visits only.

Oh no way no how, I am about 15 hours from my home and have no desire to ever go back. I left at 17 and have not lived there since. My mother is still there but comes to visit twice a year.

I think we all make our mark for ourselves, in a different place. Nothing wrong with living in the same place but I think, I prefer to holiday in my home town.

I moved away when I was 17 also. I have never moved back but I only live one and a half hours away now.

I grew up in West Virginia and flew away, first to Pennsylvania to go to college, and then to North Carolina to settle down. I did stay within driving distance, at least.

I was glad to see your name scrolling through some older posts and hope you will post here. I enjoyed keeping up with you. Anyway, by no choice of my own we moved to OKC in my first marriage. We stayed 2 years then moved back home.

Most we know are not living where they grew up. Times change-people change. It is good to be your own person and move on.

Yeah sometimes but I love my place.

I did stay in the city where I grew up for the first twenty-six years of my life before moving away. I then spent several years in different states around the county and also attended a bible type college in Kansas for two years. I believe God told me to return to my home area and here I am still. We'd like to move further south, but can't until all our bills are paid off, so I don't know if it's a pipe dream or a possibility just yet. By the way, I think you wanted fathom not phantom? You probably were working toward that and the spell check hadn't a clue of your idea? I'll remove this portion of the comment once you fix that, if you so choose.

I left my home town and didn't go back. My husband and I both grew up and still have family there but we haven't gone back to live.

I am only 30 minutes away from my home town, but I currently live in a smaller town than where I grew up. I kind of miss it, but I do love where I am.
