    I live in the house where I grew up. It has its advantages: I know the neighborhood, the neighborhood knows me.
    It's a bit weird sometimes, there's this feeling of aging, belonging, change, with a hint of nostalgia.
    Or maybe that's just me.

    I live just down around the corner on different street from where I lived as a child.

    I live in the house where I grew up.

    Isn't that a bit strange, if your bedroom now was your parent's bedroom when you were young?

      Let me rephrase that a bit- doesn't it feel a bit weird to you, to be in that situation? My parents bedroom was "theirs", it'd feel weird to me if that was my bedroom now.

        A bit of redecoration does wonders.
