Not a native, but feel like one
I have had a dream of moving to NH since I was a little girl who was born and bred in that evil state, Massachusetts. That dream lives on - more vivid and close than ever - now that I live in the other evil state, NJ.
When that day comes that I will finally make that dream come true, I will not care about the politics (as I don't much now), I will not care about income tax (as I won't have an income to speak of) and I will not care where my neighbors were born and raised.
I will care about how beautiful my view is every morning. I will care about the peace and solitude I feel when I look out the window. And I will wonder why it took me so long to make this move.
I will even love the snow no matter how much there is.
People don't move to NH for the taxes or the politics, in my opinion. They move there because it is so incredibly beautiful. Please keep it that way until I get there, okay?
