To The Person Who Is Struggling: You Are Enough

momastery blog

Dear wonderful human,

I know life is hard. I know sometimes you feel like you cannot make it through this day, this week, and this year. You feel like you’re a failure, and that you cannot do anything right. You do not know what your purpose here on this earth is. These thoughts of unworthiness are coming from the darkness. The darkness is trying to convince you that you are not enough, that you can never be enough. It is trying to convince you that you can never succeed.

However, I am here to tell you that the darkness is wrong, completely and utterly wrong. You are one of the strongest people I know. You are worth more than you can imagine. You are not a failure. Life is hard, and you are doing a great job. You CAN do this. You are loved, and I believe in you.

Whenever the darkness tries to tell you these lies, think about how much good you have done in the world, and if you cannot think of anything, think about this: I believe in you. You are not a failure, because you have not given up. You are strong. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. Tell the darkness that it can just shut up because you're done listening to its lies.

Sincerely,

Another wonderful human

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:

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