Over winter break, I decided to rewatch "One Tree Hill" for the hundredth time. As always, it never disappoints. I think all "One Tree Hill" fans can agree that this show raised us in a way. It taught us lessons about love, friendships, death, and all the things life throws our way. Here are some the most important things that I have gotten from "One Tree Hill".
1. You don't have to do it alone
“Sometimes, it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one in the world who’s struggling, who’s frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. That feeling is 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, someone to help us hear the music in the world, to remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you.” -Lucas Scott
2. It gets better
"That pain in your stomach, that pain in your heart, it goes away. That voice in your head thats saying there's no way out, it's wrong. Would you please, please just believe me? It gets better." -Keith Scott
"The pain in your heart, that voice in your head that tells you theres no way out, its wrong. It gets better" - Dan Scott
3. Everything you do matters
"What you do matters. And how you do it matters." - Marvin "Mouth" McFadden
4. Life is short
"Life's too short to play games. If you loves somebody and you wanna be with them, then go get them. Deal with the mess later. We don't know what tomorrow will bring."
“It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And that someday is yesterday. And this is your life.”
5. Go for what you want
"If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it. Do it. Don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever. Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle’s going to come from, the next memory, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it’s right around the corner, you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you’re wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it with all your heart."
