I left my heart in the desert 
I left my heart under the sun 
I believed it was time to move on 

I was ready for a new chapter 
I was ready for a fresh start 
And all that was holding me back was my heart 

Well my heart followed me home 
The desert night was too cold 
And now my heart has a story it wishes to be told 

You don't have to change who you are to finally move on 
You just have to start fighting for what you believe in 
And enjoy who you are so that you can be happy once again 
So I drove across five states in three days then drove back in three days. It was absolutely mentally and physically exhausting. In that week I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about people. I drove from Louisiana to California and back to prove someone I cared about that weren't alone. In the end, I only got hurt and a part of me changed. Luckily it wasn't for the worst. I didn't know how to move on, but I finally did, and I think I can be happy without that person.

It's good to know that you've moved on. It's never easy dealing with such pain, but it can make us stronger people in the end. :)
