Born and live in a single town all his life.

Do you know of some people who were born, grew up, went to school, got married, had children and without any plans to leave their birthplace? I've lost track of how many places I've moved and lived in for so many years but some of my childhood friends are still in our hometown without any intentions of leaving. In this age of mobility and migration, people are moving from place to place. Either by choice or by economic reasons and their jobs dictate them to move. Or maybe you are one of those who love your birthplace so much that you don't want to leave it anymore.

I love travelling and it's okay for me when I have to go places,but if it's a permanent migration ,then I might have to think a Lot more because I like the place where I am.I know someone whom I adore who was born,raised,finished schooling and married in the same place.His wisdom tells me that you can see and know the world even without going places.I find myself turning to him whenever I need some suggestion from someone who isn't related and he has never disappointed me.

I am one of those people you mention who was born and raised where I still live today. I have never moved outside of the area. All of my children were born and raised here too. I have no plans on leaving the area, and this is where I want to be burried when I die. I am happy in the small town where I have always been, and seen no reason to leave. Some people may not be happy staying put but for me, I don't think I would be happy anywhere else.
