Pieces of my heart

What does letting go mean? It is a hard thing to do. I have been trying to let go of the life that I loved so much in exchange for a brand new life that I am learning how to love. Sometimes it can be really frustrating and hard but there are these amazing moments of pure peace. These moments relieve me of a lot. I smile and laugh in these moments. I am happy in these moments. Why? 


I let go. I loosen my grip that I have on Memphis. I have been really afraid of letting go of Memphis. I was afraid that once I let go, I would be forgotten and that is not what I wanted. So, I held on. I held on tight and that was not good for me. I was emotionally holding on to something that I don't have anymore and that was a life in Memphis. My life is in Kentucky now and I need to grab on to it. Enjoy it and take it on strong! It takes a lot of time and just reminding myself that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle. 


I have been extremely blessed through this move. It has made me realize a few things. 


1. Family is forever
2. Your true friends will stick with you
3. God never closes one door without opening another one for you
4. I haven't just moved three times, I have just left my heart in three great states :)  


I left my heart in Memphis big time. Now, I just have to figure out one thing. 




A spot in my heart for Kentucky. I am working on it everyday. I struggle some days but some days I smile. I smile and give them a hey y'all :)




Hope everybody had a great and safe Halloween!
