Leaving childhood home quotes

Quotes | Random | As i leave my childhood home

Leaving my hometown and childhood home behind was bittersweet, just like it was for Bailey in After the Music. I remember driving through town one last time and seeing all the places that defined my childhood, that helped me make me who I am. I always let those details pass me by while I lived there, but knowing that I was leaving painted everything in a different light. Even as we grow up and move on to bigger and better things, I think we all keep a piece of our past with us. And I hope…

We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place. We stay there, even though we go away, and there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there."

growing up and moving out and moving up and moving on

This week's quote come from Dr Edith Eva Eger's memoir, The Choice. I came across this wonderful quote at the begining of the book as she shared snippets of her childhood before her family was taken to a WW2 concentration camp. What do you think about what she says here about our childhood memories being fragments that make up our understanding of ourselves? Do you think it is possible to reframe these stories? #defragmentedlife #hopewriters #inwardjourney #understandyourself #yourstorymatt
