One Tree Hill

Stepping up. It's a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself, to do a little more, to show you something special. Lucas is gone, but that does not mean the season is over. As a matter of fact, I'd say it's just beginning. You might want to stay out of my way for a while. Life's funny sometimes. Can push pretty hard, like when you fall in love with someone and they forget to love you back. Like when your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone. Like when you pull the trigger or light the flame, and you can't take it back. Like I said, in sports, they call this stepping up. In life, I call it pushing back. You know, it's been said that we just don't 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 it's 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. God, I love this game. Every once in a while, people step up. They rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you. And 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.


One Tree Hill is a television show on the WB network about two half brothers and their shared love for basketball and rivalry that stems from it. The show is now entering it's 6th season and has surpassed the 100th episode mark. Though a show designed for tween through young adult markets, the writing of the shows plots and scripts often turns it's soap opera story line into profound pieces of work.
