It’s a somewhat common experience to zone out while driving and not remember how you got from points A to B. However, is it just as common to “wake up” from being zoned out between points A and B and momentarily forget that you’re in New(ish) Location and not lost in your Old Location (hometown). Or say someone asks you for directions someplace and you give them directions how to get there based on a different location you lived? I’ve been living in the Midwest US for 12 years now and still occasionally give directions or think I’m still on the East Coast.
No, but if anyone asks me where I’m ‘from’ I never really know what the answer is.
Anyone who asks this IRL gets to hear my entire life story, 'cause that’s the only answer I can come up with.
Same! I ended up with a kinda stock answer (“all over the state!”), but that still leads to a story. Which is the point of the question, I guess.
(I’m a preacher’s kid, hence the moving!)
SAME! Like I was born in one place moved when I was two, moved somewhere else till I was 6, moved to another state and then 3 different houses before college in that state… then, then, then.
Where are you from?
A lovely place called Earth.
I thought you were from Ostania.
Shhh… I am, but I need to bring peace to the world.
