% Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald

It seems to me that when I truly need wisdom, I should spend some time with a child. Children see the world differently and seem to be intuitive by nature. Recently a 10 year old boy informed me that I should probably read a book, like the kind they asked you to read in school. 

So I went back to my trusty journal to see what books I had read in school. I came across a long forgotten confession. I was suppose to read “The Great Gatsby”. Instead I read all the notes on it I could find to do the work and pass the test. 

I decided on the advice of a 10 year old that it was probably time that I read the book.

I found the book interesting and I found that I wanted to learn more about the author. As is often the case, his quotes are telling.

#1 Interesting Perspective!

His perspective is very different than mine. I feel the way he feels about autumn, when spring comes. I guess seasons might be different for everyone.

#2 If only every understood it.

I have heard it said that the biggest reason for one taking their own life is that they simply can't find a place where they belong. Perhaps our message should be you belong here.
