One Tree Hill - Quotes that hit home..

One Tree Hill-
Season 5- Episode 2
“The rest of your life is a long time, and whether you know it or not, its being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck, or bad choices, or you can fight back. Things aren’t always going to be fair in the real world. Thats just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question, whats worse, not getting everything you wished for? Or getting it, but finding out its not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now, with the dreams you chase, the choices you make, and the person you decide to be.”
Season 5 Ep. 13
"Make a wish and place 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 is gunna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that its right around the corner and 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."
Season 5 Ep. 14
“Its been said that the saddest thing a man will ever face is ‘what might’ve been’. But what of the man whose faced with what was? Or what may never be? Or what can no longer be? Choosing the right path is never easy, its a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes we find ourselves to something better. Sometimes we fight through the regret and remorse of our mistakes, our malice, and our jealous, and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be. And thats when we find our way to something better. Or when something better, find its way to us.”
Season 5 Ep.15
"Sometimes when you’re young, you think nothing can hurt you, it’s like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans.. Find your perfect match, the one that completes you. But as you get older, you realize that its not always that easy. Its not until the end of your life that the plans that you made were simply plans. But then at the end, when you’re looking back, instead of forward, you wanna believe that you made the most of what life gave you, you wanna believe that you’re leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered."

Hope & Inspiration;

And her story continues...
After so long of being ok.. She asks herself "whats the point in trying anymore?".
With past mistakes always being shoved in her face;
Will she ever be able to redeem herself?
Music is supposed to be her safe place.
But there are too many memories engraved in the words. She reaches for her razor, holds it against her once broken skin, but she hesitates, thinking she's gone crazy, she hears it again..A faint voice, whispering to her:
"You ARE ok, you WILL BE ok, you ARE stronger than this... What is the point?? To prove them wrong! What do you have that they dont?FAITH. HOPE. And LOVE. You have these three things, and you can be an inspiration to those who struggle, like you."
She drops the razor, crying harder then ever, mascara staining her face, and in a split second without even realizing what she had just done, the tears stopped and the feeling inside of her was indescribable. "Redemption?" she wondered as she stared in awe of what was written on her arms.
LOVE
She had written love on her arms in permanent marker. Reminded of the organization "To Write Love On Her Arms" and the story of how it came to be and the story of rescue in a girl who had once lost her ways and once had hope dangle before her by a thread, as she clung to her life because it too dangled by a thread."Love is the movement"
A group of people proved that "rescue is possible" and that "love is the movement". By simply doing just that. Loveing a broken girl who had felt the lash of rejection from who had no hope, no faith, no love. This group of friends took her in, no questions asked. They helped her by feeding her, giving her shelter, treated like a princess, a friend, a family member. They had faith in her and gave her hope. Most importantly they LOVED her. 'To Write Love On Her Arms' has become a safe place for her and many others. The story of a broken girl has become another broken girls inspiration. When she struggles and hits a rough patch, she remember 'To Write Love On Her Arms' instead of harming her fragile skin. And she will remember the inspiring story of a girl who had suffered and struggled though worse, and has found Hope, Faith and Love. In her story she spoke of the stars. She said;
"The stars are always there, but we miss them in the dirt and clouds. We miss them in the storms. Tell them to remember hope. We have hope."
She has become my inspiration. And to her I am forever grateful for sharing her story and reminding nor just me, but thousands of others that there IS hope.
Always remember hope.

A Song That Hits Home

Father, I’m going through some heavy things It seems like this world ain’t getting any better The more we try to get closer to You The farther we run from Your throne I’ve spent so many nights wonderin’ when will it end When will the day come when happiness begins I’m running the race but it seems too hard to win I’m sick of mourning my stomach is throwing up in the morning I’m calling for help and watching it melt away My heart’s been put on display and put away In many ways, many times I told myself it was ok And anger was the price that was paid While these faded dreams just screamed to bring them home The burden was too heavy I kept running from the throne I can’t take it any longerI can taste my spirit hunger God please help me get home Chorus: Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I’m not scared cause You’re holding my breath I only fear that I don’t have enough time left To tell the world that there’s no time left, Lord please Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I’m not scared cause You’re holding my breath I only fear that I don’t have enough time left To tell the world that there’s no time left I’ve come to terms that I’m burning both sides of the rope And I’m hoping that self-control would kick in before I’m choking off The sin that be destroying every fiber I got I need the Lord in every way I’ll never make it I’m not Going back to the way I was before Christ in my life I couldn’t do it I would lose it there’s no point to the fight And I’m writing this song, for the people who don’t belong I pray away the pain you feel from all the things that went wrong Inside a life that’s filled with anger and disappointment Cause daddy treated you weaker than all of the other kids It’s annoying and I feel for all of you who wanna give up You feel stuck I feel the same way Lord help us stay up You couldn’t pay me to abandon the idea of true hope That I could make it through this life into a place where there’s no crying I’m dying to find You with open arms when I go Knowing You love me and You waiting to give rest to my soul Lord I don't know what I'm struggling for There’s got to be more Than this life I know But still I’m here fighting to never give up I find strength in Your love And You will see me through
Forgive Me
