One tree hill isn't about the metropolitanism. It's isn't about popularity. It's not just another fantasy movies like Cinderella or Sleeping beauty. One tree hill speaks about reality in life. It's a combination of love, lost, chances.. basically everything that sums up to life. It taught us how to deal with it.

I want to be like Nathan and Hailey, a true love. Age does not matter. It doesn't matter how young you are. You do what your heart feels right. At the age of just 16/17, they fell in love. But that doesn't stop them from being together. Despite the strong opposition from Nathan's parent, they stay as one because they believe they can make it. They went through a hard time; school, major exam, money and even their individual dreams, they fleet through the obstacles with perseverance. Despite Hailey leaving Nathan at one point of time to pursue her dream as a singer, but she knew that Nathan was much more important in her life and she sacrificed it for love. Nathan, who were broken, mad and disappointed at Hailey for leaving him, learnt to forgive and accepted her in his life back. They trusted each other despite the gossips, lies that were thrown to them. With all that plus their deep love towards each other, they made through everything. No, it's not a fairytale. What happened in the story does happen in reality. Problems with money, individuals having their own dreams to pursue, the hypocrites/backstabbers who always seek opportunities to ruin ones relationship. But One Tree Hill taught us that we can overcome all of that.

I want to feel the love like Lucas and Peyton felt. Another true, strong love. Two people who are meant to be. But it's totally the opposite of Nathan and Hailey. Lucas, who fall for peyton since the first time set eyes on her, was never existed in peyton's life. But they eventually became friends. Peyton did fall for Lucas but it was a tad too late when her best friend, brooke, got him first. Not wanting to break her best friend's heart, she kept silent. However, truth will always be revealed in one way or another. They didn't get together though because Peyton treasure her friendship more than anything else. They went on in different path of life but stayed as friends. There was one thing though, Lucas was always there to save Peyton's life. Lucas was always there on Peyton's side. Only on one night, did Lucas realised that it's her that he wants to be with when all his dreams came true. After so long since everyone waited for it to happened, it eventually happened. Lucas and Peyton, are together. But it doesn't stop there. They fall apart after Peyton was working in another states. Peyton think that it will never work out for them. Lucas, heartbroken, eventually found someone else. Peyton realised her huge mistake and came back only to realise that she was too late. She was not forgiven nor was she given any chance to be in Lucas's life again. But everyone knew, the love was still there in both of them. They knew, Lucas and Peyton are meant to be. It's always and will always be Lucas and Peyton. Lucas cannot lie with his own heart and at last, they got married. In their part of story, One tree hill taught us that what's meant to be, will be. It may take a hell of lifetime for it to happen, but it will happen. One's heart will feel insecured at some point of time but one will realised what the heart truly yearns. And all it takes for things to fall into its place is to get rid of the ego.

I want a best friend like Lucas and Haylie. One that does not discriminate, does not judge and loyal to a friend. Despite having issues with Nathan, Lucas still supported Haylie because her happiness is what matters. Though Haylie or Lucas made mistakes, be it small or big, they forgive one another and was always there to defend one another. One never gives a second thought when the other one needs help. When one leaves, their friendship never ended but stays the same. Secrecy was out of the question, they're always sharing their problems. They're the best example of true friends. One who always have their shoulders prepared to be cried on, ears to listen, a voice to be heard, two arms always ready for an embrace and a space in one's heart only for the other one. True friends are hard to find but it exist.

I want to get to know someone like Brooke. Behind the party wild girl, lies a girl who have so much more to offer in life. A strong, determined, successful brooke who fights for her rights and her friends. Despite not having a perfect family, being brought up independently with only her parents money but not love, she knew what is right and wrong. Instead of being driven to the spoilt life, she used her talent to be a successful person. A person once people thought of as useless, wild bitch was actually a person with a big heart filled with humanity and love. In reality, those who comes from a broken family often give up in life. Those who strayed on the streets killing their body with drugs, quiiting schools halfway and all that with a reason that they came from a broken family. Well, One Tree Hill taught us that it doesn't matter how bad your life is, how ruined your family, life does not give a chance to those who gave up.

I want to be as strong as Karen. Being left pregnant at a very young age, and having to support the baby alone. She'd went through tough time those days and she could never forget her first love. Though it was cruel of him to do that to her, she forgave him after almost 20 years of coming back to her life. She also did not realised that her love of the life was just standing right infront of her all those years in her life, her best friend. But when she finally realised her love towards him, he died. Things happened in life. Well, like what I have just said earlies, age does not matter in life. She finally found someone. It may not be her first love, or her soulmate and she may not be young but life will reward you someone, if you have faith.

There's a hell lot of things we can learnt from these characters. Each one of them taught us different things but they actually have one purpose, to teach us how to deal with life. It is a very moving story, one that could make you relate to your own life and leave you to ponder about it. A story that makes you smile and laugh in every minute but can makes you tear up the next minute.

A totally must watch series. (:

Just being honest,
