I have always struggled with the question, “where are you from?” What does this question mean? Truly, those asking are wondering where I call “home,” but this could mean a lot of things. Do you wish to know where I grew up? In what house I recall my childhood? Do you want to know where my fondest memories are held? Or do you wish to know where my parents currently live? Where I graduated high school? College? “Where are you from” is such an open-ended question, and I don’t believe I’ve ever answered it simplistically.
