What I Was Feeling when he broke up with me (2)

I genuinely never thought this would happen to me. I am the woman who is known to play with men and their feelings. However, the one time I have hidden but genuine feelings for a man, he breaks up with me. I thought things were good between us, but my inability to express my feelings ultimately made him end things. I cheated, lied, and manipulated often to get what I wanted. It was just the person my environment shaped me into being. That's how others treated me, so that is what I had to do to have the upper hand. I'm more clever than anyone in this town and I know how to win. Unfortunately for me, Nick wouldn't deal with that. It hurt my ego, but especially disappointed my hopes of continuing a relationship with him. Daisy had two men after her, one of which was truly in love with her. Not that I am jealous of her, but the thought of a true relationship sounded nice. I couldn't let people find out that I was dumped by him. I had to figure out some way to make it sound like Jordan Baker was up to her usual mysterious actions and never actually liked him. The moment someone found out I was dumped by a man I actually liked, was the same moment other men would try to use me. It made me furious that Nick changed me and made me this self conscious. I could never let this happen to me again.

    You're too rich for me. Your lifestyle just didn't fit mine. My love for you wasn't true. In my heart I felt out of place and awkward for you. You lie, cheat, and manipulate me and so many other people. I fell for your determination, your fine carriage. My dislike for you basically started to overcome my attraction when you exhibited heartlessness and indifference in the face of the awfulness of Myrtle's death. Your continued indifference to the events around my emotional state sent me over the edge. I'm glad it's finally over, all of this is finally over.

    Jordan, You were my type, but things just did not me for a person to be with. I deserve someone better than you, and I hope you know this because you were not a good person. I hope you can eventually find someone, but change your ways first before you try again. You will lose respect from a lot of people if you keep acting like you did to me, and this would be awful for you. It was nice to meet and be friends with you for the time being.

    I did like you Jordan and I did develop feelings for you, but it just couldn’t work. I thought this was just going to be a flirting relationship instead of actually being real. As we spent more and more time together though, I realized that we were not fit for each other. I need a true relationship with a nice woman. You lied too much and I couldn’t trust you because of that. You’re just like all of the other rich, mean people on East Egg and I don’t like their behavior to others. I’m sorry to have hurt you, but we weren’t right for each other. -Nick

Why I Let Daisy Marry Tom (2)

Okay, so maybe Daisy wouldn't have gotten married to Tom if I had given into her drunk words. In my defense, at the time, she was extremely drunk. It was clear her judgement was extremely impaired and she had been so happy recently. She had just stopped her nightly crying about Gatsby and I could not let her ruin her newfound happy relationship, especially the night before her wedding. It also didn't hurt that Tom had quite a bit of money. I knew Gatsby would always be in her heart but I wanted to believe she loved Tom. Now I regret not listening to her drunken slurs that she had changed her mind. I let my opinions of what was best for her outweigh what she needed. This marriage was just a mess and I cannot help but feel slightly responsible. I hated the way he treated her but I couldn't get myself to confront the situation. This was one of my first experiences with guilt. I take unconditional pride with everything I do. Usually... I can tell that this relationship only fil...

It's really none of my business, but here's What I Was Thinking! (1)

Now I didn't say much the day that Gatsby and Tom had their big brawl over who loved Daisy, and more importantly, who Daisy loved more. However, I sure was silently judging. I mean, ever since Daisy and I were little girls, she was always so submissive. She didn't want to hurt Tom's feelings so she told him she did love him. This really had me biting my tongue because I knew it wasn't true. Daisy gave into what others wanted for the sake of pleasing everyone and keeping peace. I'm the closest friend she's ever had. I have always known the Gatsby was the only man for her. I also know that Tom made her feel less lonely. This was why Daisy may have fallen for him. I feel as though she missed having a man in her life. I wanted to scream at Tom, telling him that he was just warming Gatsby's seat and now that he's back, Tom should leave. I wanted to tell Daisy off for just sitting there and letting these men talk for her. I feel like this is an ongoing problem...

Not that they want to know What I Was Thinking, but Daisy... Wake up! (2)

I, Jordan Baker, will admit it. I love gossip, even when it's concerning my best friend. I almost heard Tom's conversation with his mystery mistress that morning Nick arrived. Unfortunately, Nick couldn't quite comprehend the situation and kept speaking. This gossip, is specifically interesting because I actually care about the woman it affects: Daisy. I want her to wake up, stand up for herself, and divorce Tom. Unfortunately, there's nothing I could tell her that would surprise her. I am almost positive Daisy knows about Tom's unfaithfulness. This is what angers me the most. She knows that her husband is cheating on her and yet she remains married to him. I must admit that I originally thought Daisy needed Tom to get over Gatsby. I felt that he could distract her and I was not aware of Tom's true character. She seemed happy with him and I like to see her happy. However, I realize now that he is nothing but conceited and careless. When I heard the phone call, I...
