8 Feelings We Hate to Feel
Sunflower Storytime

Sometimes saying or feeling what you are experiencing at the moment can be a pain. I know personally, I hate feeling so here's a list of some that make me uncomfortable:

1. Guilt - Nobody can possibly enjoy the pit in your stomach feeling as though you are responsible for something. Talking about it can make you feeling better but some people it can seems like you are dwelling on that experience or emotion.

2. Loneliness - As much as people like to be alone, sometimes we crave people, even in the most basic ways. Feeling another presence or even hearing someone else's voice remind us all that we aren't alone in this big world.

3. Failure - Who wants to hear a story where you didn't get what you want or lost the thing? Well, it is not a bad idea to hear more of these. Hearing about someone else's failure tends to make us feel like it is okay to fail. It is a good reminder that we are going to fail at things in life and that is okay and it important to the life learning process. We aren't immortal and are supposed to fail.

4. Anger - How awkward is it to be angry? We are in this state of irrationality where it is harder to fix the situation at hand? Most commonly refered to as a useless emotion, once anger is let out, life tends to feel a little more bearable.

5. Overwhelmed - How much it sucks to be here in this stressed and struggling state. Feeling as though the world is all on you is terribly unbearable and make all the things you are doing feel a million times harder. Learning how to cope with stress and this feeling is a long process for most.

6. Rejected - After not getting that reply back or someone not feeling the same way, can feel horrible, of course. This state tends to leave a person bitter and a little sad because that thing you wanted to happy is not now. The rejection could have been done in the nicest way but still can leave any person a little raw feeling. A good way to deal with this feeling is to just ride it out for a bit and just give yourself a little break from life.

7. Weak - Personally, this is one of least favorite emotions ever. I hate the idea of someone catching me at a weak time and spilling my emotions all over them. But I know it is a part of life and needs to happen because even strong people feel weak. As I said before we are all human and it is best to just feel these feelings instead of by-passing them.

8. Sadness - Feeling sad is obviously quite sad. The lamenting that needs to be done is important because all feelings are important to life. Nobody likes being sad but it is a natural emotion to get when you don't get a good grade in class or hearing bad news to just feeling kind of bummed out. Give yourelf a break and if you need to cry just do it because would ever tell a friend not to cry? Well sometimes you need to treat yourself like your friend.

Letting all of these hard and complex feeling pass by is important to living a good life because these all are very natural and common to experience.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. 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.

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. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

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

Brooke Davis

"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

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
