Same. I was born in Virginia, but we moved when I was 5 years old, so all I have is a handful of memories. Am I from Virginia? I spent my formative childhood years in Kansas. Am I from Kansas? I lived the majority of my life in Texas. Am I from Texas? I live in Vermont now and feel more at home than anywhere else I've lived. Am I from Vermont? At this point I favor using where I am currently living, but I struggled with the answer for a long time since people have different, and strangely intense, ideas of the definition of "from" in the question.
