Would you rather leave your hometown and never be able to return, or stay in that hometown and never leave?

Tell me why?

[ElissaDido]

I'm not sure what my hometown is haha!
1). I was born and raised in a city called Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, but I don't have the Saudi citizenship and I'm considered a foreigner there, so I'm not sure if it's my hometown. If it is, then I'm okay either way. I had a great life there and many good memories, but my father will most likely retire in a few years and go back to his home country alongside my Mom. So I won't have family there anymore and I don't want to live without my family forever. Not to mention most of my friends are studying abroad so I will not have my HS and childhood friends either... It would be sad not to be able to visit it anymore but family and friends are more important.. So my answer is never going back💔

2) I'm Tunisian : I never lived there but it's my parents country and it's my only nationality. On papers I won't be a foreigner but outside of my family I don't have a life there since I never lived there. I would rather be trapped in Tunisia than never go back because most of my extended family lives there and my parents will go back once my father retires.

Leave and never return. I know people have memories in their hometown, but leaving that place allows you to make new memories in other places. Staying & never leaves you bounds you to one place for eternity, never exploring or immersing yourself in another culture; its more like surviving and not living.
So leave & never return

I'm not even sure what I'd consider my hometown. I move so much- at least every five years. I have two years until my next move then again four years after that. I'd rather move and explore.

[beachflamingo]

It is nice to start over again and again. I still keep in touch with all the people I have met. I have seen so many different lifestyles and seen so many places. I also feel like it has helped develop me into the person I am today. I am easily adaptable and am not surprised by the craziness life brings. It is also so much fun to try new things.

LEAVE!!!
Been there done that, know all the great & ugly spots
+
always able to travel thereafter, no limits on moving from place-place in option #2 !!! if they don't suit me.

[mwin2030]

I believe I would actually prefer to travel around and know that I would never be able to go home, rather than staying in one place and never being able to leave. I like the idea of traveling around and exploring the world. It fits my personality more I believe.

[Barrabus_the_Free]

Depends on whether you define hometown as where you grow up, or where you live now.

If it's where I grew up, leave and never return.

If it's where I live now, never leave.

[miamigirl1970]

generally hometown, meaning where you grew up

[Barrabus_the_Free]

In that case, leave and never return.

[Lynx122]

I would leave. I live in Zürich Switzerland and it's a beautiful city and a great country but I could never live there for my entire life I'd go crazy. I need to see the world and move around and exerience things. I'm not the kind of person that's content livin their entire life in one place I'd feel like I didn't even really live like I missed out on what the world had to offer. I've already traveled quite a bit but I still couldn't spend the rest of my life here.

It depends, if I loved my hometown, I would want to stay there forever.
But if I didn't, all I would want would be to leave and never come back.

[FemWorship]

LEAVE and thus leave again, again as it suits me

been there done that, old news, know too much of the soiled/spoiled side

[JulieXO]

I'd rather leave and never return, I couldn't spend my life in once city.

[randomhobo]

Already left my hometown and it was a shithole, so first option by far.

[RedRobin]

I'll leave and never return lol. I'm so bored of my city.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

I'd leave my hometown and never come back in a heartbeat. I already told my parents, once I move out, I'm never coming back 😂😂😂

[TuMeManques]

Stay, my hometown is beautiful and my family is here

[palek]

I left my frosty hometown on the NH sea coast 30 years ago, and have yet to return. I'll return there to be buried as I'll no longer be tormented by the incliment weather.

[madhatters4]

love my hometown but wouldn't want to be trapped. i'd miss out on seeing the world and new experiences

[FatherJack]

I did the first , joined the British Army & settled elsewhere after leaving , where I live now is less expensive & people are slightly better overall. SE England is not the friendliest of places either !!

[John_Lion_84]

Leave, haven't gone back in 12 years. Why? It's in a middle eastern country and it's war, not safe especially for christians.

[capturemyheartnow]

I have kept my options open. If my skills require me to be located anywhere in the world , I will be glad to change my location without being sad or unhappy.

[AhGojira]

There's a lot more to the world than one city. It's an easy decision to walk away and not return.

[HaveNoName]

I left my country and my parents for a career, a decision that still leaves me weeping and guilty. It's been 20 years now.

[OrangeBoy]

I prefer to leave.
How can my hometown be better than the rest of the world? No chance.

[ThatBritishLad]

Hometown meaning Greater London? In which case I rarely leave the place to begin with.

[datgirl]

Take my family and leave. There's a whole world out there!

[Afro-dite9]

Never return, I must explore the world.

[Blitzkrieger]

My town has only 13 streets. Id much rather leave and never return than stay here and never leave.
