Gatsby

So, I went out with my friend today and we went and saw The Great Gatsby. We were both serious fans of the book and so excited to see it. And I was so blown away!
It was so crazy, to me, to hear the story again, now that my life has changed so much since the eleventh grade. I realized that Gatsby and I have a lot more in common that I would have ever guessed. It broke my heart beyond just the text this time. It really hit me deep, how Gatsby lives holding on to the memory of his love of Daisy.. And how hehas lived his life for her. He said in that moment before he knew he was going to fall in love that it would change his entire life. And that’s how I feel. I wish I could have know the place love has taken me. I would have never loved at all. I still hold my self in the past remembering the love I can’t get back, but wishing more that anything the past could repeat itself… Will I end up like precious Jay? Trapped forever by lovely dream? My heart tells me it just can’t let go. That it won’t be able to feel that again. That nothing will ever fill that empty space that hurts every day and never fades…

Probably one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard tonight… I was spending time with one of my best friends and her sister and her sister tells me they have a new plan for me to marry their brother. I laughed because this happens basically every day, but apparently their mom is the one who came up with this one, Sarah said because she loves me so much she wants me to be her daughter-in-law and be apart of their family forever! :’)))) Seriously, one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received ❤ #secondfamily
