Finally a true understanding of that Fitzgerald quote, the one about being a Romantic. There is hope against hope for the first time in life, and it's because this feeling is fleeting. It has to be. At least right now.
Remember girl from the Underground, this is like the snow. It's the cold obstacle that inevitably sparks new birth and growth. It doesn't last but it sure as hell inconveniences you while it is there. It blinds you from completely seeing the world around you. It's seemingly beautiful but it's actually this bitter biting thing. It is winter after all despite these deceptive waves of warmth lately. Bundle up (good thing you like scarves). At least right now.
Happiness will come to you Rhoda, wallflower extraordinaire. Just find solace in the ebb and flow of The Waves. Find your peace in the subtle sounds and the pale blues and greens. The tides come and go, and cradle you in their undulation. Don't toe the edge of the cliff, at least not right now.
It'll be spring soon Persephone. Soon you'll get to dance in the grass feel the warmth of the sun touch you in everything you do. But it can't be that way, at least for right now.
It's winter and you made that bitter biting bet with the devil. Sure it's temporary but it's there and you have to face it, at least for right now.
Charge the giants Quixote, in your ill fashioned armor/amour (both suffice). Be relentless and one day you'll become that amorous knight in a world of crude scholars, and you know that you can go on tireless and still remain heels deep in what you believe in. You know you can do this at least for right now.
Beautiful
