"One Tree Hill" has given me more feelings than any other TV show I have watched. I'm not embarrassed to admit it. I've cried like a baby more times than I can count, smiled so hard my face hurt, and laughed pretty hard, too. (I also obnoxiously sing along to the theme song, but we'll keep that a secret). Sometimes the show tries a little too hard to create drama and situations get ridiculous, but "One Tree Hill" fans love it nonetheless.
This isn't a typical show, in any way. The show proves that sometimes a little hope can take you far. It has shown me much more about life than I could have ever imagined, and has sometimes made me feel better. So if you're having a rough time, are unsure about life, or just need a little guidance; here you go.

2. "It's the oldest story in the world. One day you're seventeen and planning for someday, and then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today, and that someday is yesterday and this is your life."
3."You know what? Tragedies happen. What are you going to do? Give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you’ve got fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. The confusion and fear, that's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for."
4. "If you look close enough to the world around you, you might find someone like you. Someone trying to find their way. Someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, unsatisfied, barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes. We need someone to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you."
5. "So don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble & fall, because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long, and in the end the journey is the destination."
