It is really peaceful... when you can block out the riffraff around you.
I'd love to one day go back... but the ratio of educated v/s uneducated is nuts... and it's really hard to make friends/have conversations with people who aren't drunk all the time or high on some kind of pain medication...
I wish my parents would move down here with me.. but my Dad will be buried in those hills.. He's educated. My mom is. Both in the healthcare field... but grew up dirt, dirt, dirt poor... Like trading shoes each day of the week for school so one of the kids can go to school in shoes.. poor... And they didn't succumb to the pressure there... they worked their ass off.
That's probably where I get my ethic to work for 10-12 ours straight daily.. lol seeing them never quit..
But so many in the area just give up.
