There is a difference between remembering where you came from and refusing to leave it psychologically.

Remembering where you came from keeps you honest and grounded. Staying there psychologically is different: still arguing with people who are not present, still measuring yourself against a standard set years ago, still living according to rules that applied to a place you left. The first is memory, the second is residence.

Notice whose voice you hear when you judge your choices. If it belongs to somewhere you no longer live, that is worth examining. You can honour a place without continuing to be governed by it.
