So Open Diary died. I decided to let Salem go as well. It was a very emotional crazy moment, too. I'd driven to Tennessee, with my mom and my sister, to visit my beloved cousin who was dying of liver cancer. My friend Sara sent me a text with the news that it was gone. I panicked for a few minutes - unsure of what to do with the life that I'd left there. I mean - the births of my children, the beginning of my first marriage, the struggles and eventual end of that marriage, along with the beginning of a new amazing relationship that culminated in the life I have now with my best friend. It was all there. I just couldn't let it go! Or....could I?
I sat quietly on the full sized bed, emotionally drained, and flipped through the entries I wrote surrounding my biggest life events...and as the tears slipped from my eyes, I decided that maybe it was time to let go of Salem and that One Particular Harbor. While I had some amazing entries and some incredible stories - I had a lot of hurt and pain and struggles that were there.
And so I did it. I wrote one random entry from my phone and wished Salem the best and I let her go.
My life is amazing now. Don't get me wrong - there are struggles. There are good times and there are hard times, but life is so good. So - here's to a new start - a new story in a brand new book.
My beautiful life.
