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.

    6.5 km from my appartment to the hospital I was born in.

    I was born in the neighboring city, currently live in the district that is closest to said city. However I grew up in a village 90km from here. My parents moved out of the city when I was 2. I lived in several different cities, even on a different continent for a while. A couple of years ago I moved here for a job and 5 years ago my now-husband and I found this appartment together which happens to be on the border of our city that is closest to the city I was born in.

    I live 2.2 miles/3,5 km from my childhood home but have lived as far away as 4,383 miles/7.053 km away. Yes, I would consider my hometown as my current home.

    My house is about 2 miles away from the hospital where I was born but only a couple of meters from the spot where the house my parents lived in when I was born used to stand, which means there’s a good chance I can see the spot where I was conceived from my upstairs window.

    38 miles away, but it should be noted that since being spawned, I’ve moved upwards of 3k miles from that point and then returned to my current location many years later.

    I am less than a mile from the hospital I was born in. Like some middle ages peasant.

    The city grew up with me, or I grew up with it; when I was young there was not much to do and it was quite violent. Through my life it has become vibrant and safer, not that I had anything to do with it. Now there is so much to do, beautiful parks, concerts, downtown came back to life.

    I have visited other places, for months at a time before I had kids, and shorter trips after. But here actually is home, it’s funny. I wouldn’t have dreamed it when I was a little kid.

    About 5,743 miles (9,227 km) from my spawn point, and no, it’s not home, although I wish it were now that the US has decided to be fascist. I was born in an American army hospital in Stuttgart, Germany.

    100km now, but even though i say I’m from there, i have no family and barely any acquaintances left. Still can do the dialect, though, if i make an effort. Usually don’t. And in a couple of years, I’ll move hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. Again.

    I’m a single digit number of miles from the place I was born, but I do not consider the town it is in to be “home” as it is in a neighboring town.

    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.

    5 miles away from spawn point, the furthest I’ve lived is 300 miles away but in the same nation, my spawn city is absolutely home to me, even if not ethnically from here, I am very privileged to be born here
