Gatsby and Daisy

I guess I'm not really sleeping tonight...

Which is kinda ok because it's offically summmmmmer '13



Tonight I saw the 9:30 showing of The Great Gatsby, by one of my favorite directors, Baz lauhzerman, with my seester and brother. 

I just want someone to love me as much as Gatsby loved Daisy.

IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK FOR?
My sister said that one day someone will love me that much and she said it will be my cats.

I think Gatsbys love was so deep and sincere. He did everything, like everything, for Daisy.
Not to be confused as "he did everything for her", like incapacitated her, but everything he did was for her.
There's a line in the film where Nick says something about the way Gatsby looked at Daisy. He looked at her in the way every girl wishes a man would look at her. I'm still waiting for that look.

I want someone to truly deeply love me. Not in a creep stalker way but a true, sincere way.

Like every time he says I love you it's as if he has been holding it in forever because he can't tell you every second of every minute, and he's constantly telling how beautiful you are not because he wants to get in your pants because it's just what he sees.

And there is a difference from infatuation and real love.

Loving someone deeply is more than wanting them so badly. It's wanting them to be happy and doing whatever it takes to make that happen. Wanting to be with them forever. Even if love is fleeting, the feeling of wanting to be with someone forever should be there even if it's for a brief moment.

I don't know much about love because the few times I have experienced it I have been young and the feelings have been brief.

I do know I will continue to hope for a love so great it's beyond my imagination. All I can do is give out the love I have and get what I deserve in return. Keep the bar set high.
I don't want someone who is going to try and change me or steer me in a different direction from where I'm going. There is however, always room for improvement. I do want someone who makes me want to be a better human and who can also learn and grow from me.

But I know I will never be a Daisy. 


I'm too much of a Rose.



I also secretly don't really mind that I'm single right now. And I in fact know why I'm single right now, thanks to my beloved Thought Catalog.
 I'd like to point out that I watch to much Felicity, my imaginary boyfriends are constantly breaking up with me and settling is for pilgrims.
