Small towns have fewer streetlights, which means more stars. Some trades are better than they look.

Every arrangement comes with a compensating gain, and the loss is always louder than the gain. Fewer streetlights reads as a deficiency until you look up and realize it is the reason you can see the Milky Way from your own driveway. Nobody advertises what a place gives you, only what it lacks. Working out the quiet half of the trade is your job.

Name one thing your situation gives you that the version you envy does not have. Use it deliberately this week rather than treating it as a consolation.
