Ah, Netflix. The most loyal of companions. The truest of friends.
I used to think Netflix could do no wrong.
That is until they decided to remove "One Tree Hill" at the beginning of the month. Everyone else is crying about this too, right?
Like all the best teen dramas, "One Tree Hill" took you on an emotional roller coaster. Sure, there were some cheesy parts, unrealistic plot lines and major over exaggeration. Let's be real though, that makes for some pretty great guilty pleasure T.V. Yet, for myself and many other viewers, there was something special about "One Tree Hill" that set it apart from the other shows of a similar genre.
With the mixture of charming characters, relatable topics, great music and clever and moving dialogue, the show could truly make you feel something. Honestly, I'm still a little shaken by Netflix's betrayal, so I figured it was only right to commemorate the dismissal of my favorite show of all time in some way. I'm a total sucker for a good quote, and the 187 episodes of "One Tree Hill" are filled with some great ones.
R.I.P. One Tree Hill, you will be truly missed from my Netflix account.
1. "Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who’s struggling, who’s frustrated, unsatisfied, barely getting by. But that feeling’s a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay." - Lucas Scott
Lucas Scott: the only eloquent and deeply profound high school jock to ever exist.
2. "At the end of the day, all you really own in this world is your integrity. Once you screw that up, you can’t buy it back." - Julian Baker
Could there have been a better addition the the cast than cute and dorky Julian?!
3. "But one day, you look at your life and it has a purpose..and it’s like all of a sudden, all the time and pain that it took to get there, it just doesn’t matter anymore." - Peyton Sawyer
P. Sawyer has come a long way from that moody girl with a broken down Comet huh?
4. "The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won’t be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it’s only in the black of night you see the stars." - Whitey Durham
Whitey is the perfect mix of grandpa and Dumbledore.
5. "You’re the one I want next to me when my dreams come true. You’re the one I want next to me if they don’t. As long as I have you, nothing else matters." - Lucas Scott
6. "Life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up, but there’s a day when you realize that you’re not just a survivor. You’re a warrior. You’re tougher than anything it throws your way." - Brooke Davis
Brooke Davis is THE QUEEN.
7. “Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday; graduating high school, saying goodbye. That feeling that you get at 17 or 18, that nobody in the history of this world has ever been this close, has ever loved this fiercely, or laughed as hard or cared as much." - Lucas Scott
8. "I was thinking about the finality of it all – how somebody can leave your world in the blink of an eye and be gone forever. It’s too enormous to think about. It’s too hard." - Haley James Scott
I miss Haley always keeping it real.
9. "They are people who hate, and they divide, and they feed off of people who don’t fight back. Yeah, I could laugh this off, but what about the girl who can’t? Who’s gonna help her? Silence only makes them stronger." - Peyton Sawyer
Peyton is my least favorite character by far, but I'll hand it to her, that chick is loyal.

Okay, but no one deserves happiness more than Brooke Davis. Nobody!
11. "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. That’s just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give." - Haley James Scott
Refer to my comment on #8 about Haley always keeping it real.
12. "Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you’ve ever imagined. And even when the truth is more cruel than any lie." - Lucas Scott
Preach, Lucas.
