Where is My Hometown?

Writing/blog Prompt: "Tell us about your hometown...either the place you were born or where you live now." By Fivesixer for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 

I was born in Blackwell, Oklahoma. I graduated from high school in Shawnee, Oklahoma. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am not sure that I consider any of them my hometown. At one time I thought of Blackwell as my hometown because that was where I was born and many of my pleasant childhood memories were created there. However at 65 hometown is no longer so much a place of residence and a feeling rising from my soul.

For me hometown is a place where I feel secure, accepted, and welcome. Hometown is a place where I am not lonely. There are only two places where I have felt secure, accepted, welcome, and not lonely is when I am with Baha'is or when I am on writing.com. Those are the only times I have never felt lonely. Those are the only times I have ever felt welcome. Those are the only times I have ever felt secure. Those are the only time I have ever felt accepted. Those are the only times or placesI have ever felt that I had a real hometown.
