My Mom: The Epitome Of Pure Grace

“The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart”-Rumi

Our works of love manifests true beauty. Despite how we look on the outside, the love we give paints a beautiful picture through our smiles and the smiles we give others. No one has shown me the validity of this statement more than my mother.

My Mom exemplifies the self-sacrificial love we all strive to present. Whenever I need something, she always comes to my rescue. We all rush out of our hometowns to become independent but the need for love from our families/friends will never cease to exist. We all need love and those who claim they do not, just have not come to the realization of their dependence on love.

Everyone has their own struggles, and it truly amazes me how each one of us carries ourselves despite our hardships. I stand in awe at how my mom puts our family over herself even on her darkest days. When I come home from school, she makes sure I have something to eat and a made bed to sleep in. Through her example of self-sacrifice, my sister and I learn to put my needs below the needs of others.

I am so grateful to have a person like my Mom in my life. We all have light in us, it just sometimes takes a while for it to shine through. But my Mom’s light shines so brightly, and she shares her light with everyone around her. My day gets so much better when I am near my Mom because all my worries seem to disappear in her light.

Mom, thank you so much for being you. All your hard work makes everyone around you a better person and you deserve the world. I love you with all my heart and soul.

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.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
