DAE Not Have A Clear Hometown?
In my formative years(ages 5-12, was there Kindergarden-lil bit of 7th grade. I went to school in Philly but lived in Jersey, so I was the only kid who didn’t actually live in Philly. Then I was supposed to finally move there with my dad, was there for a summer but the day before school started my first day of 7th grade, I got sent to my mom’s house instead. He couldn’t take me, so tha basically marked the end of my 2 month era of living in philly for once. I stayed there in summers sometimes but wasnt the same.
Then I ended up in wilmington delaware living w my mom cause she worked there so after my parents split she moved there. Basically my next school i joined mid year again, was there for a year or 2. Then my high school was first time i joined a school on time, graduated there etc.
The weird part is that my life has always revolved around Philly. My closest friends are there, I’m there all the time, and it feels like my roots are there. But I never technically lived there full-time while going to school there, so I don’t feel like I can fully claim it.
Jersey doesn’t really feel like home because I was in Philly every day and moved when I was young, so I barely have memories there. Delaware doesn’t feel like home either because I only ended up there, but my roots were never really there.
On top of that, I started my first two schools mid-year, so I didn’t even start a new school “normally” until high school. And to make it even weirder, I was born in Newark, Delaware but never lived there a single day in my life.
Idk It's all kinda cloudy and my fault its long i was kinda js ranting lol. But anyone else kinda got a situation like this?
