How do I determine where I am from?

Asked by jonsblond (43767points) January 15th, 2019

This is a legitimate question. I’ve struggled with this answer lately. I have lived in many cities.

How do you determine where you are from if you moved a bunch when you were younger?

Here’s my history:
Born in central Illinois. Lived there for a year.
Lived in a Los Angeles suburb for a year.
Lived in Flagstaff, AZ for a year.
Lived in Petaluma, CA for a year.
Lived in Novato, CA for a year.
Lived in Las Vegas, NV for ten years. The majority of my educational years.
Lived in central Illinois for two years.
Two years spent on the central Californian coast..
The remainder of my adult years in central Illinois.
Currently and not planning on leaving, Wisconsin.

I’ve often said I’m from Las Vegas since I spent my formative years there but I feel a disconnect lately, especially since my last visit was in 1991. It’s a whole different city these days.

I’ll post this in social for a kind roasting but I’d appreciate some real answers. :)
