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’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

    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.

    Current, about 300 meters. I live in an apartment a block over from the hospital I was born at.

    ~2500 miles. I have no attachments to Ohio, little fond memory, and will likely never visit again. It’s been over 35 years and I intend to make it another additional 35+

    No offense to my Ohio peeps, but Oregon feels a wee more comfortable. …when it’s not on fire

    14,411 kilometres apparently. It certainly feels like it the few times I’ve flown back. New Zealand feels like walking around your old high school now, it’s nostalgic but also a little eerie.

    I work 20ish miles from the hospital I was born in. I live probably 5 minutes from it driving. I have probably lived half my life here. I call it home but I live in a world that my younger self would never recognize. I was ultra poor growing up and now I mingle with the town elite and have one of the historic houses that is iconic for lots of people here.

    I lived 20+ years 300 miles away from my hometown and thought I would never live here again. But life is funny like that.

    I am thousands of miles away from my home. I have been back a few times over the decades and every time I feel more peace, because I am home. I don’t feel at home where I live, it still feels foreign to me because the environment is so different than the land my heart calls home.

    The heartbreaking part is that it has deteriorated in some parts so that my heart hurts seeing it. The part that I am from remains what I remember, but going to the major city causes distress at the state of things.
