One Tree Hill

BROOKE: And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be,… or lose that person completely.

MOUTH: Because, sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you’ve been. And remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.

If having things turn out the way you want them to is a measure of a successful life then some would say I was a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that everyday won't be silence and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble, fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from the things that scare you the most. Maybe you''ll get everything you wish for, maybe you'll get more than you could ever imagine. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end the journey is the destination. - Whitey

"Sometimes you have to step outside the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you want to be, the person you are."

"You ever heard the expression 'The best things in live are free.' Well that expression is true.' Every once in a while, people step up they rise above themselves sometimes they surprise you and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard but if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back." – Nathan 

"Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there…because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else-something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize…you're happy." 

While trying to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make
our lives better: money, popularity, fame...we ignore what truly matters,
the simple things like friendship, family and love the things we probably
already had. 

Do whatever makes you happy, but do it now. Live life for the moment
because everything else is uncertain. Take advantage of what is right
in front of you.

"Everyday you wait is another day you can never get back"

"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad. Afraid, confused, without a road map. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in a while, people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone, & just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead."

This year I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for.

But in a way I lost even more – Haley

You ever wake up from a really good dream and try to get back to sleep?

Or you go the flu and you promise yourself that you’d appreciate normal so much more if you could just get back to it… that’s the way I feel – Lucas
