I still remember… an apartment I lived in till the age of 8… like I could draw a map of the interior…

I still kinda remember some of the places of my relatives that I’ve been to frequently, although those memories are a little bit more blurry.

I remember some of the schools I’ve been to… like the general vibe of it, idk if I could actually draw a map… more of a notebook doodle maybe

I used to draw maps of my neighborhood when I was in brooklyn… yeah so… I wasn’t allowed much computer time and didn’t have a phone… and my brain kinda turned my attention to the surroundings and I just get so bored and draw a map of the neighborhood lol.

    I feel this is probably pretty common, unless you’ve lived in a bunch of different places for not very long at a time.

    I’ve only lived in 3 places. (Well 4, but I was only like 2 or 3 when we left the first one)

    Only 3 places for a decent amount of time while old enough to remember. Moved out of the first of those when I was 6. My only other places are the house I grew up in and a house I moved into with friends and co-workers.

    None of my siblings remember the first house, but I could still draw a decent layout of it, and remember how it looked.

    My main house I lived in the most I still know obviously, and my parents still own it, so I definitely haven’t forgotten it.
