If you haven’t watched "One Tree Hill," then you aren’t living your life. "One Tree Hill" is one of the best shows that leaves you in love and emotionally invested in the characters. Don’t judge me, but I might have watched it two times through and still love watching episodes with my roommate. When a show heals the heart and can make your day better, why not? Here are 10 life lessons that I have learned by watching One Tree Hill.
1. People always leave.
But sometimes they come back, right?
2. Love does exist.
Whether you have had sucky relationships or bad experiences, you have to admit that Haley James Scott and Nathan Scott are the most perfect couple, and their relationship is all you want.
3. The journey is the destination.
Whether your ultimate goal is to get a degree or a job, start a family, travel the world, or own 15 dogs, do whatever works for you. "One Tree Hill" makes you realize that one day you will get there, but the most important moments consist of what you went through and what got you to that moment.
4. Your friendships are worth fighting for.
No matter what, your friends have your back because they're the only ones that really ever have it in the end.
5. "One day you're seventeen and planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today and then someday is yesterday and this is your life."
Time is completely flying by. Make the most of absolutely everything.
6. Be yourself.
Whatever you freaking do, just be yourself because if not, you won't ever be happy.
7. "At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes…all you need is one."
I can't express this enough: find that one. It can be your best friend, your soulmate or whoever you want, but who doesn't love getting to experience life with someone who cares and supports them 100 percent?
8. Don't ever take things for granted.
Pay attention to what people do for you, how they help you, and how you treat people because if you don't appreciate it, one day you will push them too far and they won't ever come back.
9. Sometimes we feel too many emotions at once.
I don't even need to explain this to you, because you know this feeling and it sucks, but when this does happen, go cuddle with your dog. It'll help.
10. Through all the hardships in life, you will make it through it all.
No matter what, you will get through it -- the breakup, the lost friendship, that college class -- move on and find the person that you are supposed to be. You only live this life once so make the best of it.
