Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

1. There are people who love you and want to be there for you.

2. It is OKAY to need alone time.

3. The outcome of the issue that you are stressing over probably is not as bad as you are imagining.

4. Just because you are feeling unmotivated does not mean you should give up.

5. God is there, even when you do not feel like He is.

Thank you.
