Yeah, my visit to Dallas to see old med school friends was awesome for it's inherent goodness properties of seeing old family and reminiscing with old friends. We partied and ate ourselves into financial distress as always.
And we're setting the foundation for future reunions and playdates as we grow old within the field.
But more importantly, this weekend taught me that I have been shortchanging myself. I've been afraid to tackle my situation head-on and in turn, I've made things worse for me without consciously knowing it.
No, I don't regret my time in horse-land, but it definitely is telling when I can be out and do my thing in a place like Dallas without getting stares or looks. I'm sure places like that have their drawbacks but as of right now, they're awesomely fun to be in.
Horse-land is a place that people would come to settle down...once again, I'm head of my time in this regard. Lol, you'd think a guy would learn, but I'm as hardheaded as they come.
So unless something superb happens, I'll be moving on back down towards more metropolitan areas...where the cultural diversity is teeming with energy. Being in places like B/CS and Temple and Horse-Land have a way of dampening your acceptance of things outside of the norm.
I must actively fight to keep that from happening.
