× I lived there since I was born, so I spent all my childhood there growing up and then I got married and moved to another city.
✓ I have lived there since I was born, so I spent all my childhood there growing up and then I got married and moved to another city.
The phrase 'since I was born' indicates a time period continuing up to the present, so the present perfect tense 'have lived' is appropriate instead of the simple past 'lived'. This tense shows an action that started in the past and continues to the present.
× So it holds so much memories of my childhood and teenage and it's close to my heart.
✓ So it holds so many memories of my childhood and teenage years and it's close to my heart.
The word 'memories' is plural, so the quantifier should be 'many' instead of 'much'. Also, 'teenage' should be followed by 'years' to be grammatically correct and clear.
