Have you ever?

Have you ever went back to an area you used to live in and felt you were tresspassing?

Trespassing, no. Every time I go back to my hometown I definitely know I don't belong there anymore though. No love lost on this end of the deal.

Well the new owners of my old house didn't appreciate finding me in their living room, but overall, no.

Surprisingly, the places I used to live haven't changed much over the years.

Neither has my hometown. I find it funny. So many people were so ready to run away after high school, yet most of them returned after maybe a semester of college. When I go home, I see all the same people out at the bars, all people I went to high school with. It seems like very few of us managed to get away. That works for me, I don't have to put up with them, worry about a random meeting in some other city or state!

I go back to my old homes and feel wierd being there...Everything's changed. Ye dont realise how drastically things change when you're not around. And coming back is almost like a slap in the face.

Yeah I do. I went back to the place where I used to live in East Kilbride a few years ago and it felt so wierd; everything still seemed the same but everyone I knew back then was gone or grown up, and I had a lot of mates when I was a kid there. I definitely felt out of place when I walked through the park near my old house, because it used to be where me and my friends played exclusively. Now there are other kids on the swings, and other grouchy neighbours screaming at them to stop climbing the trees.

I've got back to old homes I used to live in, but never felt as though I was trespassing. Probably cause I wasn't, haha.

I went back to visit the town I grew up in recently (hadn't been there for 9 years as it's in another state). In a way I felt like I was home again, but so much had changed (mostly my old friends, but not in a bad way) that I felt like a stranger at the same time. It was weird.

One time I wanted to show someone my old house. It was suddenly creepy. Not really sure why. It was just strange. Other places not so much. Usually get kind of a naustalgic feeling.
