I’m about 12,950 Kilometers from my spawn point, according to Google Earth. That place is not “home” since I barely have any memories of it, and left the country during primary school.

    5284km this place feels like home because this is where I’ve slept for the last 4 years.

      I was dismayed to find that the hospital I was born in has been torn down and replaced with a newer one. I’m only 44!

    I’m about 8036.68 miles , 12933.78 kilometers from where I was born and where I am isn’t my home but now it’s been so long since I’ve gone back that I’m not sure it will feel like home if I go back either

    After trying out another country (Switzerland) and other cities in Germany (Berlin and Kiel) im back in Hamburg where I spawned. Yea other places are nice as well but no matter where I went I liked it here more. But we are known for thinking our town is the most beautiful place on earth.

    I live around 40 miles from where I was born.

    My home is where I am and who I’m with now. My spawn point is somewhere I managed to survive long enough to stage my successful escape.

    13,300 km (8,264 mi) away from “spawn point”, ~14,000 km from “home”.

    I don’t feel like doing the math googling it, but I was born Brooklyn, NY, USA. Currently a few miles outside Atlanta, GA, but my journey here takes me up and down the east coast, plus a place further south. I can’t really think of NY as home because I’ve only lived there maybe 1.5 years at most, and 1 of those was as an infant.

    At 1 my family moved to GA, at 2 they moved to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (fathers home country), where my first memories are from. At 7 my mom left said father over his repeated cheating, so we moved back to Brooklyn for ~6 months (maybe less) then moved to Virginia until I hit 17 when I graduated highschool. Moved to Florida, lived there for years until 2017 and I moved to GA for a job.

    I’m not sure I consider anywhere other than where I am now “home.” I have fond memories of each place, but they just feel like phases of my past life, like elementary(well, 4 different elementary), middle, or highschool. I don’t consider any of those schools any more of a school I went to than the others, and I generally treat “home” the same. It’s just where I live now.

    I also don’t fully identify with any ethnic group either. I spoke without an accent in the island so never fully integrated, and then in the US I didn’t quite have the same lived experience there either.

    I live about 6 hours and in the neighboring state from where I was born, though I’ve also lived further away. It’s hard to consider it home - my parents were divorced and living in different states since before I was born, and I’ve lived with both of them and moved around on my own besides. My mom’s the only one left in my home state, but I would never want to live there again because it’s deep red and way wrong for me climate-wise.
