A Fictional Inspiration

This is going to sound so crazy, but a big inspiration of mine is a fictional character. But not just any fictional character! The ultimate fictional character....

Brooke Penelope Davis. Without Brooke.. One Tree Hill wouldn't have been as amazing as it was. She was the highlight of the show. There are several reasons why she was such an inspiration, and yes I'm taking the time to name them all! ;) 

1.) Her sass - 

Brooke Davis was known for her sass. She was the one to get in your face and straight up tell you what she was feeling inside. Several times throughout the show I would just die laughing because of something she said. One wouldn't want to get in a fight with Brooke, she always had the best comebacks!

2.) She's felt pain too - 

Brooke Davis gave so much of herself when it came to relationships. And sadly that has costed her a lot. She experienced heartbreak and pain, and lack of self-esteem. I know this feeling so seeing Brooke go through that, and watching her overcome it really hit home. Her strength is inspiring. And it's not cliche.. Everything she went through in relationships was real and it happens everyday. She went through it all.. And I'd say it only made her stronger. 

3.) The way she changed -

I can't stress this enough. I used to hate Brooke. When I first started watching One Tree Hill.. I couldn't stand her. She was just a girl who flirted with everyone and was a snob. But she went through a huge transformation as the show went on, and I began to see her for who she truly was: this amazing, talented, caring young lady with so many talents and such potential.

4.) Her relationship with Julian -

Ugh. Julian... I love Julian. I'm naming my son Julian because of how wonderful he was in the show. He and Brooke made me so happy. He was so good to Brooke and gave her every reason to believe that he wasn't going to hurt her. After past experiences with getting hurt, Brooke was scared. And Julian comes in and wow.. He fixes everything. I want my own Julian Baker. I couldn't have loved a fictional couple more than I loved them. I shipped them hardcore. I was happy that they ended up together and had a family.

5.) She's stunning - 

I don't even need to say anything else. It speaks for itself. One can't deny her beauty.

We all need a little Brooke Davis inside of us. ;)
