Today I’m saying goodbye to this show that has been my best friend for 9 years now. The end of an era. As much as I am going to miss my favorite show of all time I’m grateful for all the others shows that came into my life during OTH’s run. I somewhat hope that all those shows will fill the void but OTH has given me so much more in life than just one hour every week that I think I’ll manage. I’ll have to. 

Just to sum up some of the things that Mark (and the entire cast) have given me: 

- Music. Next to all the bands I just like to listen to it gave me a couple of bands that are now part of my life every day. I’m not just talking about the songs, but about songs that changed my life, song that were there when nobody else was, songs that got me through so many moments in life. Cary Brothers, Wakey!Wakey!, Gavin DeGraw, Kate Voegele… A lot of artists have a lot to thank for for being on this show. 

- An idea about my career. First I wanted to become a writer, a script writer to become someone like Mark and to give people a view of life due to a show that I would write. I’ve followed some classes and did pretty good, but I realized it is not something I can do all day. And as a writer you should. When Mark added Grubbs to the show I was amazed about how wonderful his music sounded and now I am promoting and helping Mike Grubbs with his music in the Netherlands. They have played 3 amazing shows over here and I’m still stunned by how this all happened. But if I look back it is all because of this wonderful show. And now I started my own company and it is starting off pretty well! 

- A different way to look at people. OTH taught me that you can forgive someone after something really bad has happened or you can at least give some redemption. 

- Literature. Don’t have to say more, if you don’t know what I’m talking about just start by season 1. 

- My love for sports. 

- My love for this wonderful ‘little town’ Wilmington, NC.

I realize that I can keep writing and writing… This show has just simply changed everything and at the same time nothing.

‘Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.’ 

I can still remember when we were rooting for season 4 and I saw this wonderful reason not to cancel the show by someone online: ‘You can’t leave Haley standing on that bridge forever’. And they didn’t.

Thank you One Tree Hill, thank you to this wonderful cast, thank you Lindsay for the wonderful music, thank you for the WB and the CW for giving this show a chance every year. 

Thank you Mark Schawhn, you are a wonderful human being and I will keep track of you for your next projects. Just know that I will be forever thankful. 

‘If you had a friend who you would never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it! Do it! Nothing lasts forever’. 

I am watching One Tree Hill

“trying to earn the sticker…”

208 others are also watching One Tree Hill on GetGlue.com

I can’t believe there are only 5 more days of filming left for this wonderful show. The people feel like my family and the show changed my life. 

Thank you Mark Schwahn for creating it. 

Op naar meer!

MTV NL heeft de clip Light Outside al 4 keer laten zien! Heb jij de clip al eens voorbij zien komen?

Life is beautiful, but it’s complicated.
We barely make it.
We don’t need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Yeah, life is beautiful.
Our hearts, they beat and break.

When you run away from harm,
Will you run back into my arms,
Like you did when you were young?
Will you come back to me?

I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in.

Seeing him almost cry makes me cry. Thank you so much Mark for all you have given me.

‘It was more than just a patch of concrete.’ 

How can you do this to all the fans? And not to think of all the tourist who won’t come anymore. Oh oh. So dislike you. 

and again… this is WHY I watch OTH! 

Every single time I hear Wakey!Wakey!’s Light Outside I just get this image in my head. Amazingly done mister Lafferty!
