Dear You,

We made it to the end of the week! Congrats! Here's a nice Friday post to celebrate!

If we stay passionately curious, I think we'll be alright. 

Wonder about the world, about your interests, about your loves, and never give up what makes you you. 

Have an Amazing Weekend!

Review: The Great Gatsby

Dear You,

So last week I read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I see amazing Fitzgerald quotes all the time and we never ended up reading this in 11th grade so I decided to now. 

It's a rather short book but then most classics are. I was constantly stopping my reading to appreciate Fitzgerald romantic style of writing. One of my personal favorites is...

"it couldn't be over dreamed, that voice was a deathless song"

Beautiful descriptions like those and an optimistic view of human nature through the main character's eyes made me fall in love with this book. 

Reading for school requires a very high degree of analysis while reading however I got through the book in 2 days and probably missed several prominent themes however I did realize the theme of older and refined versus young and flashy. However I think there are middle grounds that were missed in the book. 

Gatsby's downfall was also extremely interesting. It was interesting to see how Fitzgerald associated the money and love, the man who had everything, with death. By that part in the book I liked Gatsby but his death didn't sadden me in the least. I think his complicated nature brings and interesting view to him from the reader's side. 

Overall, I loved Fitzgerald's writing and descriptions more than the plot but I still didn't mind reading it in the least. I'm glad I at least read it once and got the experience. Now I have to watch the movie, I'm starting with the 1974 adaption then watching the newest :)

Out of the Woods Thoughts

Dear You,

Taylor Swift, in preparation for her album coming out on the 27th, released a new song yesterday! It's called Out of the Woods and is at the top of the iTunes chart currently.

When I first heard the chorus, I thought the repetitive nature would deter me from the song but since first hearing it I have fallen in love. I think repeating that compliments the feeling of the song insanely well.

When you're around someone new and still wondering if you're in a good place, I think those thoughts of stability become a little obsessive and OOTW conveys this perfectly. The song has the perfect song for the message behind it, just that very choppy and obsessive feeling of fragility and new experiences. I love that she was able to do this so beautifully.

Anyways, those were my thoughts on it. I was thinking of doing a cover of it today so feel free to watch that and I hope you like the song!

Leave me a comment below with your thoughts :)

Have an Amazing Day!

Covers I'm In Love With

Dear You,

BBC 1 and Capitol radio, among others, have started a trend of recording singers covering songs in live lounges and they're amazing!

Demi Lovato's cover of Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran

I knew Demi could change into that rock-style voice but I didn't know how impressive it could be until I watched this wonderful cover. She is truly amazing.

Taylor Swift's cover of Riptide by Vance Joy

Taylor didn't add any ridiculously impressive runs like some others choose to but she still managed to add a unique sound to one of my favorite songs. 

Jessie J's cover of I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift

I don't know why I never heard of this last year but it is jaw-droopingly good, I am forever in envy of Jessie J's beautiful voice and ability. She definitely made the song her own and added a unique, softer tone. 

I could go on all day about all of these interesting amazing covers. The world of singers and songwriters is truly outstanding and I might just spend the rest of the day watching older covers, currently on The 1975's cover of What Makes You Beautiful :)

What are your thoughts on these covers? Leave me a comment below!

Dear You,

I'm back from my week long break with a nice Monday morning quote!

I loved this little graphic because it's some of those fundamental sayings that completely go over my head sometimes. But actually sitting and reading this one a few times over gives me a bit of a wake up call.

It reminds me that life truly is less complicated than I make it seem sometimes. The world is great and horrible and wonderful and terrible and we can let it change us or we can change it and make our life what we want it to be. 

Make your Monday Wonderful!

Hi There!

Dear You,

So I realize no one actually reads these posts but just in case someone does (if you are, it would be absolutely wonderful if you commented something below, a Hi would be nice) I'm taking this week off from writing on here. Half because no one is actually reading it and half because I have no idea what to write. 

So, just in case someone did actually happen to click on this today: Hi, I'm not doing my normal 5 posts this week... just this one. Ok cool, bye.

Just a quick second to point out how funny my cat is, ok bye

Have a Great Week!
