It’s the oldest story in the world.

I started watching One Tree Hill in my first year in university, every single episode, from the first, till the last one today. It is definitely one show I will miss. Here is something from the series finale:

It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for ‘some day’, and then quietly and without you ever really noticing, ‘some day’ is today.. And then ‘some day’ is yesterday, and this is your life. We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing, but ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good, dreaming. If you had a friend you knew you’d 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, don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever. Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true, you never know where the next miracle’s gonna come from. The next memory, the next smile, the next wish come true. If you believe that it’s right around the corner, and you open your heart and your mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you’re wishing for. The world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it. So make your wish. do you have it? Good. Now believe in it, with all your heart.

I especially love the first part.

It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for ‘some day’, and then quietly and without you ever really noticing, ‘some day’ is today.. And then ‘some day’ is yesterday, and this is your life.

I am still planning for 'some day'. I hope I will not miss out on my life with all the planning I am doing. I never enjoy the journey as I always look forward to arriving at the destination. When I get there, it's not all what it seemed to be and I am back to square one with disappointment and no memories of enjoyment! Now that I know what I do, I should try to change.

I really, really LOVE the line! I should print it and put it up on my wall.
