Don't Say I Never Gave You Anything...

One Tree Hill is almost over. After nine years of an amazing show there re just two episodes left. I can't believe it's almost over. Some might think my attachment to this show is ridiculous...but it's been there to be my escape so many times.

I remember when One Tree Hill was about to premiere on the WB. I was in 7th grade in Oklahoma. I wasn't so sure about the show. I actually thought it looked kinda stupid. But, one of my really good friends at the time kept telling me I needed to watch it. If not for the show then for the two hot guys in it. So, being the 11 year old girl I was I was all for the hot guys. So, I tuned in that first night. And wasn't disappointed in what I saw. And, thus began my love for the show. I collected EVERYTHING to do with the show, magazine articles, favorited every Internet site dedicated to the show and my favorite couples, etc. It was my escape from my soon to be move from Oklahoma to Alabama. It brought all my friends together.

We used to write notes to each other with code names. That way if anyone got a hold of one of our notes they wouldn't know who wrote it. I was Haley. I thought I related best to her. With a little bit of Peyton mixed in there too. We used to call each other on commercial breaks to talk about what had just happened. One Tree Hill captured us for far more than an hour a week.

Then, when Brian died in a car accident and I was having a hard time dealing with that...One Tree Hill was my escape. For that one night a week it's all I looked forward to. I was moody and awful to almost everyone, but One Tree Hill was what I looked forward to.

When we moved to Alabama it was still what I looked forward to. The few friends I made that first year here were due to our bonding over One Tree Hill. I got one girl in the band with me addicted to the show as well. She's the person I was closest to, and then she moved. But, for a little bit we still kept in touch and talked about the show for a little bit.

Rileigh and I used to have One Tree Hill marathons when I would go out to visit. I have every season on DVD and I would bring them and we'd pick our favorite episodes to watch and stay up...forever to watch them. I have so many memories centered around this show. And to see it coming to an end....it makes me sad. But, I know all good things must come to an end. I will still be able to watch it when I want to since I have the DVDs. I know I'm going to cry a lot when they air the series finale. I've cried in almost every episode this season. Just knowing it's coming to an end is hard. And their story line is killing me!

So, this blog post is titled "Don't Say I Never Gave You Anything." A quote from Nathan Scott in season one. And One Tree Hill has given me so many memories. So many good times. I've laughed, cried, and worried for these characters. I'd like to say thank you to cast and writers. I'm not sure if any of them will read this, but thank you. So much for the last nine years. It's been an amazing ride and I'm glad to have been a part of it. Thank you especially to Sophia Bush, Bethany Joy, and James Lafferty. The three that have been a part of all nine years. I have cheered for each of you. I have cried with your characters and fell in love with them. Thank you for sticking it through. I can't wait to see what you all go on to do with your lives.

Anyone who watches the show, and has stuck it through to the end, I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have.

One Tree Hill will always hold a special place in my heart. And with that, I leave you one of my favorite quotes from the show. :)

Episode 5.13

Peyton: "Name a wish, place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want.

Lucas: "Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true.
             You never know when the next miracle can come from, the next smile, the next wish com true."

Peyton: "But if you believe that it right around the corner.
              And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the serenity of it."

Brooke: "You just may get the thing your are wishing for."

Nathan: "The world is full of magic you just have to believe it.
               So make your wish. Do you have it?"

Haley: "Good. Now believe in it with all you heart."

Here We Go Again...

Today has not started out the best. I found out my debit card information got stolen....again. Two times in under a year. What the mess?? I'm not sure why this keeps happening to me, but I am seriously getting annoyed. Maybe I need to just stop buying anything. And just have a savings account!

Lately everything has been going wrong. It's like I cannot get a break. Classes have been crazy, family life has been crazy since we found out about Addison's cancer, friend's lives have been crazy. Why does all the crazy stuff happen at once? Life is going fine and then BAM! One thing right after the other! I want to complain about everything it seems like now a days. Which I know is not the best thing to do, but...it's so easy. It's so easy to throw a pity party for yourself and what you have going on.

But, as I have realized today in a brief conversation with a guy I went to high school with, the bad things suck sure. But, there is so much more to be thankful for. I'm alive. I have a working car. I get to spend lots of time with my friends and family. I have so many people that love me. Why complain about the bad things? I need to learn to be more like him and focus on the good. But, that's easier said then done.

It's not fair what's happening to Addison. I wish with every fiber of my being that she didn't have to go through all this and live the rest of her life with one kidney. I wish that she didn't have to lose her hair. I wish that this was all a bad dream. But, on the other hand we are extremely blessed. After her chemo, as long as the cancer doesn't come back in the next two years, she should go on and live a long and happy life. So many kids won't get that chance. And it breaks my heart to know that people out there has lost their child or niece or nephew to such a terrible thing. Cancer is awful at any age....but to see a child go through it....no words can begin to describe how terrible it is. I would never wish this on anyone. I hope that none of you have to go through this. But, I do hope that some of you have looked into Alex's Lemonade Stand. They are an amazing organization that I hope to be more involved with one day.

I love you all. I hope you all have a fantastic day! Mine can only go up from here!!

Until next time my lovlies.
