  • Kinda? It’s both rare enough most people you grew up around probably stayed in the same area unless your family is really spread out but also common enough to make it feel like a failure if you didn’t get to experience the country and live all over.

    I moved from a smaller area I grew up in to a big city in the same sucky state after college and I was the one who got out. But I was surrounded by people who worked their way there from the parts of the country that were deeply impoverished and also people who’d gone all over, lived on the coasts, and seen places and done things while where I grew up was just a day trip away.
