"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid. Confused. Without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us would rather turn around and go back. But once in awhile people push on to something better-something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and 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 discover who you truly 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, faith and belief, and beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead." Lucas, One Tree Hill.
"you know its been said that we just dont recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. we grow complacent with ideas or things or people and we take them for granted. and its usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you realize how wrong you've been. that you realize how much you really need it.. how much you love it. " Nathan OTH
every once in a while, people step up. they rise above themselves. sometimes they surprise you. sometimes they fall short, life is funny sometimes. it can push pretty hard. but if you look close enough, you find hope. in the words of children, in the bars of a song, and in the eyes of someone you love. and if you're lucky, i mean if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back. - nathan oth
"I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is the measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm 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 sunny, and you will find yourself lost in the darkness of despair. Remember it's only in the black of night that we can see the stars. And those stars lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and 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." -Whitey, One Tree Hill
"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. Happiness comes in many forms-in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be. " Lucas
But for someone to tell you that they somehow stopped missing you, you're pretty much screwed-no matter what you say. See, there had to be something right? Something that no one had ever said in the history of the world, something that could change this." Lucas
At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes…all you need is one.
