What must someone have experienced to write something so full of regret...



Today I'm sharing the most heart-wrenching line from "The Great Gatsby":

It's hard for people to truly feel youth while they're young, to perceive beauty while experiencing it, so life is filled with regret.

Sometimes, the order in which we appear matters so much.

If many people had met at a different time, the ending might have been completely different.

Being born at the wrong time, loving the wrong person—everywhere we go is written in fate.

What we miss isn't the person, it's the timing.

What we miss isn't love, it's the heart we had back then.

By the time you finally understand, you discover the best script was already written long ago.
