Landslide

I was listening to Landslide, the Stevie Nicks song covered by the Dixie Chicks, and it conjured up some interesting feelings I have about moving. When I left Texas to go off to college, I thought I might come back, and I did for med school. But now I have even more friends here, and this time I might not be coming back. I'm not one of those crazy Texas-or-bust types, but there's still a certain permanence of this move that makes me a little sad. Am I just afraid of such a big change?

'Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older

I'm getting older too'

New state, new residency, new house. I guess it's time to get bolder because change is coming whether I'm ready or not.
