“Whenever you feel the urge to give into rich and powerful men, don’t.” I was very vulnerable back then, and had only been with one man, my husband. His name was Tom, and he was a lecherous drunk. You know the type. For me, Daisy Carraway, one man for my entire life was my chosen path. I did not care if other girls lived differently than I. From a young age, I learned not to judge others. My father taught me that, not my mother. I was taught to not hold them up to the same standards as myself, because I do not know them. You never know what their past was like – and until you know that, you can never know them. We all come from different backgrounds. Therefore, I have become highly tolerant. Gatsby, one of great wealth, success, and power was the best and worst thing that could have happened to me – but never judged him. I tried to never judge him – no matter what happened. It was hard, no doubt. The fact that he was completely gorgeous helped in many regards.
