I wrote this piece when I realized we were actually leaving Texas -- and my heart was breaking a little bit because of it.
Dichotomy is one of those words that once I learned it (which was like, 4 years ago), I felt like I used it all the time because it had been the word I had been searching for to describe how I felt throughout my life.
