Frankly Friday…v10

 What is Frankly Friday? 

Let’s define Frankly shall we…

. . .


here. 
This is where my head is at right now. 
Lately it seems that everything from my past is just clicking into place to be left behind.
Well Amy, it is the past after-all, so shouldn’t it have already been left behind?
Yes, you smart one you, it should have been—but it hasn’t.
There are MANY areas of my past that i need to leave behind: fears, struggles, memories, etc.
However, as i hinted at in my last Frankly Friday, the time has come for me to burry burn my past relationships. It’s time for me to wholly except that for what they were, they were great and incredible opportunities to meet some amazing people and to have my life forever change; to expand my knowledge of what love was and how you show love.
They were beautiful…for what they were.
Key word here: were.
I’ve talked about how it is hard for me to let go of my past, how i borderline enjoy reliving in it.
I will not do that any more when it comes to my past relationships.
This is a conclusion i’ve been coming to for a while and it clicked with me about a month or two ago. Since that moment, i’ve been doing my best to re-direct my thinking, to remember the positive but also to keep things into perspective.
Perspective is everything, isn’t it?

So here’s to letting go and moving forward. 
Such a simple thing to say, yet one of the hardest things for a human heart to do.
Can i get an Amen? ha.
So, speaking of letting go and moving forward…it is starting this weekend.
I’m getting together with some girlfriends to have a bonfire.
Bonfire? What the heck does that have to do with moving forward?
Oh, i’ll tell you dear un-scorned friend.
🙂
We’re going to break in my fire pit  that i built {and i will post about next week} and throw a burning party. A burning party, what is that? Oh, you know its a time to make some smores, burn your fears, your angers, your bitterness, oh and of course the ex-boyfriend things. Meh, it’s just time for them to go.
Why hold onto any letters when i know what they say?
My friend Beverly made a beautiful point the other day:
Girl, get rid of it…it’s just paper, just ink, only images…you’ll remember what you need to remember. 
Amen, couldn’t have said it better myself.
So, with this fire i will be burning away the part of myself that refuses to let go.
I WILL become a woman who learns from her past but does not dwell on it.
 Dwelling on something that you can no longer change leads to being chained to it.
I want freedom, not bondage.

Time to burn baby.
