Back To Tree Hill - February 2012

Good Night Tree Hill ♥

So, everyone has written their tribute to the most amazing show that has ever existed, so I’m gonna try to do the same. Without bawling (that’s gonna be hard).

Where do I start ? As I’m writing this article, the OTH’s version of “I Don’t Wanna Be” is playing loud. This moment. I mean I expected it but it was so extraordinary to see it !! The song that represents our show, the cast who made our show perfect, all of it in 3 minutes of TV. PERFECTION.

I knew I was going to cry while watching this episode. It was the last episode ever, and it was probably the best episode ever too. There was not one thing that I didn’t love. Mark really made it perfect, I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been for him to say goodbye to the characters he lived with for 9 years.

Some people think it’s ridiculous, to cry “for a show”, but, seriously, I started watching it 7 years ago, I was 14 years old (Oops I’m crying, I thought I’d let you know), and so much happened since then. I’m not gonna tell you about my life because you’re not shrinks and I’m not a fan of telling my life because I’m pretty sure it bothers people, but there have been good and hard times, especially hard times lately, and I always knew OTH was here. When I’m sick, I pick a season and I watch it. When I’m sad or depressed, I watch OTH. When something bad happens, I think about OTH and I always find that episode that happens to be about that exact moment of my life. I just don’t know how Mark managed it. Because, let’s face it, OTH has the most loyal fanbase in the world, and that’s because he wrote a story that could happen to any kid in any high school of the world. And people always said to me “yeah, because everyone is rich like Brooke or Nathan, or every 16 year-old lives alone like Peyton”, but it’s not the only thing that defines them. Back in season one, Brooke was just hiding her lack of self-confidence behind the bitchy cheerleader she was, Nathan was always under pressure and only needed someone to help him, and Peyton is a girl who has lost a parent, like some of us. We could all find THAT thing that would make us love one more than another.

I kinda lost myself during this article, but sometimes I just start talking about something and end up talking about something else. So I’m just gonna stop there and, last but not least, I just wanna say that I will be forever grateful to OTH for giving me the OTHFamily (because we kick ass, just like Millie’s tatoo :D) ♥
