@F1r3_Dragon so it's interesting. My wife is from here, I'm not. This is the only other place I've lived. It's funny because I couldn't wait to get out of where I lived because I saw no forward movement for the state, but being a transplant, there is a bit of pride in keeping a bit of home with you-even if it's just when people ask. I also have a license plate frame that indicates it. I just occasionally grow tired of saying "originally" as a clarifier because I live here, but am not...
@F1r3_Dragon ... necessarily from.
My wife enjoys clarifying it to others though. Like I'm a novelty. It's not something I mind, but I can't help but think I feel the glaze pouring over someone's eyes when she goes into it.
There is also a minor internal struggle with declaring this place as "from". I think this is especially a thing when we travel.
