When the world paused.

Do you remember the last thing you were doing on March 13th, 2020?

May 21, 2020

On March 13th, 2020,

We all begin to become aware of the changes that would happen for all of us. Many of those changes had to do with school, work, our daily life activity. It was scarce, for a lot of us.

I can remember being inside of Wellington Elementary for the last time, pondering what’s happening, the questions roamed through of my head, that of, “How long will we be out”, “What’s gonna happen to these kids, as school shuts down for a while” and so many more.

Now I look back at that day, I think maybe it all has happened for a reason. Maybe It was to teach us to take a pause, enjoy life, for the moment, create new opportunities, with what we have.

For many of us, this has been hard, it will. I have struggled myself with a lot of things, questions, but I have also tried to enjoy the moments during this. As a strong person in faith, I believe in the whole “Faith Over Fear”, I know a lot of us don’t believe in things like this, but as a time such as this, we need to focus on what’s to come, instead of fearing.

Our world is going to change, due to this pandemic, but something good will come out of this, for all of us. We may have been on pause, but we are gearing up to see lives changed, family reunions unlike any other.

Have faith, we are in this together!

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?"

"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.
