Dear M,

I wish you knew how important you really are, especially to the people around you. I know you feel like you are unlovable, but you are loved so much more than you will ever know.

I wish you would give yourself more credit where it is due. You are one of the smartest people I have ever met, yet you don’t use it to your advantage. Not only that, but you are so unbelievably gifted when it comes to drawing and art. I am amazed at some of the things I have seen you do, and yet you let that gift stand in the background.

I wish you could see all the potential you have. You set the standards for yourself so low, and I wish you would realize all of the things you could do with the gifts you have been blessed with.

I wish I had been better to you when we were growing up. I know you tended to be obnoxious at times and you knew just how to get under my skin but I still could have been much more patient with you.

I wish you realized how much more you are worth than you give yourself credit for. I know you question a lot about yourself, and you wish you could be different, but you are perfect just the way you are and being anyone or anything different would only dim the beauty you hold.

More than anything I wish you realized how much more life has to offer than how you perceive it. While things may have not been easy for you, I wish you would realize that there is more to life than the things you have been through.

I want you to learn to appreciate the things that make life so worth it.

I want you to witness what it feels like to be truly and deeply loved. I want you to experience things you never in your wildest dreams imagined. I want you to be able to face your fears head on and be strong enough to be able to say that nothing can stop you. I want you to make it through this, so you can prove to everyone who has doubted you that you are stronger than they think. Because I know you are.

I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. Because you are so much more than you give yourself credit for.

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.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

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?"

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

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:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
