& yet we all still kept watching... with tears rolling.

18 Times One Tree Hill Broke Your Heart

"One Tree Hill," in its nine seasons, gave such a range of emotions to its viewers it's hard to keep up. It's like you were riding shotgun on a roller coaster of emotions without a seatbelt or bar to strap you in. The tears fell [hard], the laughs echoed, and the tension you felt in all of those nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat moments became almost too much to bare sometimes. Between all the Lucas and Peyton drama, the Haley and Nathan drama, Dan, and all his baggage, or even Lucas and Brooke drama, there really never was a dull moment. "One Tree Hill" repetitively broke hearts over and over — yet we all still kept watching. So here's a recap of some of "One Tree Hill"'s most heartbreaking moments.

1. Lucas in a car accident

Season one started us out with a bang when Lucas was in the car accident with Keith and then Dan [of all people] came through and saved his life.

2. Jules stands Keith up at the altar

Poor Keith. Of course, Dan was behind it all. You couldn't help but feel bad for Keith. First Karen, now Jules.

3. The library kiss

This whole episode in itself was life-changing, but so many tears were shed when Lucas & Peyton were stranded in the library as she was bleeding out.

4. Keith's murder

Then the end of this episode. How could you Dan?! Absolutely heartwrenching.

5. The end of Brooke and Lucas

Obviously, we all knew they weren't meant to be, but this scene was still so emotional. We feel for you Brooke, we feel for you.

6. The wedding day limo accident

Not to mention in the same episode is the infamous limo accident at the bridge. Watching Haley scream in her wedding dress from the top as Nathan dove in and seeing the cereal box bracelet float to the top... I couldn't figure out if I wanted to scream or cry. RIP Cooper.

7. Haley gets hit by the car

Fast forward a season to a pregnant Haley throwing Nathan out of the way to be hit by a car and I still don't think I've calmed down.

8. Lucas has a heart attack

Let's not forget that in those panicked moments of getting Haley into the ambulance that Lucas also has a heart attack.

9. Brooke has to give baby Angie back


Maybe I'm alone in being the only one who cried in this scene, but when Brooke had to give baby Angie back after her surgery so many tears were shed.

10. Quentin is murdered

Of course, just as Q was turning his life around and we were starting to really like him, he's in the wrong place at the wrong time and is killed. Throw that in with the fact that little Jamie idolized him and it just gives me a lump in my throat to even think back on.

11. Psycho nanny Carrie kidnaps Jamie

That terrifying moment that someone grabbed Jamie in the cornfield and you didn't know if it was Haley or Nanny Carrie. I know I'm not the only one who was yelling at the TV in this episode.

12. Lucas & Peyton's wedding

I think the amount of tears shed in this episode speak for themselves when it comes to just looking at this picture. Then when Lucas was begging Peyton to wake up because their baby didn't even have a name? Instant tears.

13. Karen's hospital visit

Poor Lucas. He wouldn't be who he is without Karen.

14. Lucas & Peyton riding off into the sunset

Maybe this is considered to be one of the 'happier' moments of the show but they never came back to Tree Hill [except an appearance from Lucas in season nine].

15. Haley's mom dying from cancer

This hits home to almost everyone. Who wants to lose their mom? The lump in your throat from this scene is just almost too much to bear.

16. Psycho Katie shoots Quinn & Clay

Who else saw this coming?! The most innocent couple on the show was just taken out. I was not ready for it.

17. Brooke drowning

Brooke Davis cannot die.

18. Nathan gets kidnapped


He'd come such a long way from the jerk jock in the first season, so much emotion was felt as his abductors held him hostage and beat him. Not to mention Haley and the kids at home worried sick.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
