People from away are always like, 'Oh, wow, you live in Maine? It's so pretty!' or 'This is what you've been complaining about all this time? It's gorgeous!'

My response is always: '...Okay, you say that now. Try living here.'

I mean, as far as places to live go, it could have been a lot worse; it was a great place to grow up. But it's a little quiet, you know? (Hopefully not Silent Hill quiet, though. D: )
