How do people get to be in such dark and lonely places? Is there any one person to blame? In this clip from Season 3, Episode 16 of
One Tree Hill, I understand perfectly where Jimmy Edwards, the school's shooter, is coming from and what type of pain he is feeling. That kind of agony is unbearable, and once you go through something like that, it feels like there is no way you could possibly bounce back from it. There is no hope. You feel so empty, and broken. And what's worse is that it's
always there, like a virus. It feels like no matter what you do or where you go or how hard you try, that feeling will not go away. Is there anything to fill the void that has been placed in the middle of your chest, like the black spot of a pirate doomed for death? Is that our real life version of the black spot? Is anyone who feels this pain inevitable to foresee a horrible ending, like Jimmy? I don't know, but here's what might help - if we could all somehow just stop being so incredibly narrow minded and stubborn, it may just help save someone's life. Someone like Jimmy. Someone like me. Anyone who ever felt invisible, as if their story didn't matter. Everyone has a story. Some people just can't see how vital theirs is. Just open your eyes.
