What I Want My Mother To Know

No matter what has happened, I love you more than you can ever imagine.

What I Want My Mother To Know
Sadie Klements

This one is for my mother. Whether she ever gets a chance to read it or not, there are a few things I want her to know. My heart has been torn for months now, and I have lost any hope I had that it will ever change between us.

The last thing I expected was for you to decide one day you didn't want to be my mom anymore. For years, you have caused me so much heartache. I've never been talked about so badly or judged by anyone like I have been by you. I did not make the best decisions in high school but isn't that a part of growing up? All I have ever needed was to know you love and support me despite my mistakes. Not every issue in our relationship has been your fault, but I won't pretend that you are innocent either.

Your behavior has shown me exactly how I shouldn't treat people let alone my own children someday. I would do anything just to hear you love me because I don't even remember the last time you told me. I'm not positive the damage done can ever be turned around as it has gotten this far. As much as I hate to admit it, we are better off without one another right now. I was never prepared to take on this crazy life without my mom and I will always want you to be there.

No matter what has happened, I love you more than you can ever imagine and I'm so proud of all that you've done for yourself and your kids to have a good life. You are a very strong woman and I admire the things you did as a single mom of two kids to be successful. You've had more than your fair share of hard times and I only want you to be happy. I hope you will cherish our memories as much as I do. I will forever be grateful for everything you've done for me. I wish you the best in all that you do.

From,

Your daughter

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.

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:
