Perhaps I might possibly be an American asking a question on an Ask An American subreddit, and I know that’s kinda crazy, but i genuinely know no one that’s not along the coast. I live in the Northeast, and I genuinely don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t live near the ocean. So my question is for everyone in the midwest. How can you guys live with having never seen the ocean? Do you guys long to live near the beach? Do you guys just hang out on lakes and stuff? How is life for you guys?
