I moved around so many times by the time I got to highschool, and then I went to a boarding school. My sense of my parents' home is seeing the same lamp, the same Christmas ornaments, the same stuff around the house that was always there.
To answer the question more directly -- I never felt any strong pull to any particular place called home. I think it's because my parents moved so much. Houses and friends and acquaintances all were a blur some years. I feel a little cheated sometimes, but I can't say I really know the difference. My ex lived in the same house with her parents for 24 years. I have no idea what that's like.
