There is only One Tree Hill; & It’s your home.
With the transition of the end of Dawson’s Creek, I actually remember the day I was suggested to watch One Tree Hill. I, being the loyal fandom girl told the person, “Nothing can compare”. Nine years later, I believe I’m in shock. Everyone who comes in contact closely with me knows my support to this show. I’m almost willing my heart to realize its over. One Tree Hill has always been there for me. It’s helped me expand my optimism even when things might be going wrong. It’s been there on nights when I felt like I needed a friend. Something comfortable. Goodbye just doesn’t feel real. I remember the school shooting episode in Season 3. How shocked and how much I cried. I was emotionally tied to these characters and what happened to them. Tonight I say goodbye specifically to the character who identified with my 14 year old insecure self. Brooke Davis is a girl that was my best friend in high school. It’s honest that from the moment I saw Brooke Davis, I wanted to know Brooke Davis. Sophia Bush has been the girl that I’ve fallen in love with on screen and off. She’s given me hope when I thought there was none. She’s given me laughter when I didn’t think I could laugh anymore. She’s given me the confidence that I am ‘Good Enough, Smart Enough, Pretty Enough’. I truly feel like I’m loosing a friend I’ve had for 9 years. It’s heartbreaking really. I feel for the cast that have had to say goodbye to these characters they’ve grown into. I don’t believe it will hit me till later that this is really it. Mark Schwahn has been our confidant and sometimes our worst enemies :) I’ve loved every moment of this rollarcoaster. Every second. I will always appreciate and adore what this cast and crew have created for us. The time, the effort, and the tears. You all are truly in my hearts forever.
“As the lights go down on the rivercourt, I will thank Brooke Davis for laughter, tears, and a hundred little reminders that I am the only one who gets to quantify my own “enough.”
