some reflecting

I'm always at a lose for what to write about on my blog so I thought I'd do some reflecting on some of the quotes from one tree hill..

• "Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. 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 of despair remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."

I love this quote. It is said by the high school basketball coach who is living the last years of his life pretty much. But, people my age can really relate to this too. We, especially as college kids, all have dreams. Some may be to get married, fall in love, have a three-some, and so forth. But, does that mean that it will happen? No, it doesn't. What this quote is trying to say is that not everything is going to go your way and your going to run into obstacles throughout your life. Some may be small like not making a baseball team or breaking a finger. But others could be big. Nothing feels more real than when your heart is breaking. And don't think that getting your heart broken is always because of a guy. Someone close to you could have died, your parents could have gotten divorced. All of those things can break your heart. And everyone says that it's all psychological and your heart doesn't break. Coming from experience, you can feel your heart break in half when something like that happens for real. Anyway, things arn't always going to go your way. And if you do get your heart broken, you can't sit there and constantly think about it. You have to life the rest of your life to the fullest. Like he said, the greatest rewards come from the things that scare you the most. Be open to surprises. Life, in the long run, will never disappoint anyone. GO LIVE!
