It’s not easy living in the best state in the country. For one, you’ve probably become accustomed to a perfect view anytime you lift your eyes. Or, even worse, you know what it’s like to be able to swim at the beach in the morning and summit a peak in the afternoon. It’s awful living in a place that’s pretty much perfect. And, here are 10 reasons why.
- You’ll never fully appreciate another sunset.

- Every other place will feel downright rude.

- White table cloth dinners will be totally unimpressive.

- National Parks in other states will bore you.

- You’ll steer clear of any blueberry that’s not from Maine.

- Staying at the Four Seasons won’t impress you.

- Anytime you leave your house, you’ll feel surrounded.

- You won’t understand why people are making a big deal of the cold.

No other dessert will ever taste delicious.
