Rule No.6: Remember that you can't live forever.

Why do I not regret how I have lived my life? They say life flashes before your eyes when you die, and it really does. Being hit with a car really opened my eyes. Here I am sending my final messages and thoughts from the beyond the grave. Yes, I have continuously complained about marrying George Wilson, but looking back on life, I can’t say it was actually that big of a mistake. He just wanted love and everyone deserves love. I was very caught up in the idea that I should have only married someone of my social status. I never even gave having a loving relationship with George a chance. But, if I had not been in an unhappy relationship with George Wilson, I would have never gotten together with Tom. I couldn’t even imagine regretting my relationship with Tom Buchanan. That was probably the best part of my life. It was everything I wished for and more. Although wrong, my affair with Tom brought a great amount of happiness into my life. It was like a secret party life that I got to have on the side. I got the glimpse into the world of the rich. Tom was my step into a greater life, and I was content experiencing it for the time that I was with him. My life was amazing and I truly lived it to its fullest extent.

    Myrtle why did you have to run out in the street and die?!? i loved you with all my heart but you betrayed me. tom was not a better man than i was, you just liked his money. tom never loved you, you were just an object to him. if only you just stayed at home with me we could have gotten away from all this bullshit and go west and be happy for the rest of our lives.
    Love,
    George Wilson

Rule No. 3: Have thick skin.

You feel a lot when you get slapped. The obvious is the physical pain. The immediate stinging on the region you were hit. When Tom slapped me he broke my nose. Along with the physical pain is the emotional pain. Being slapped by someone you care about causes deep emotional repercussions. Imagine slapping someone for just saying a name. All I said was “Daisy” to Tom and he got so upset he let his emotions take control and Tom decided to hit me. Sure we were both drunk, and the night is still a little hazy, but I still had the right to say her name. When Tom is with me, I want his complete attention. He is not allow to think of his little wife that he left at home. If he even cared about her so much, he wouldn’t be cheating on her with me. I deserve Tom’s love. I said her name to make Tom angry and to see how far I could push his buttons. I think I also said her name because I was angry because she was still such a major part of his life. When Tom slapped me, I felt betrayed and disappoi...

Rule No.1: Never marry below you.

What was I thinking when I married some so below me as George Wilson? You know what? I don’t think I was thinking at all. Let me tell you, George Wilson is as dumb as a doornail. He never even suspected that something was going on between Tom and I. People tell horror stories of how they almost settled for marrying someone under their own social status, but those horror stories are actually my life. Mrs. McKee always goes on about how she was so close to settling for a man under her but then was saved by a more worthy man of a higher social status. She is lucky. I wish I was in her shoes. Unfortunately, I married George, which is the main difference between Mrs. McKee’s story and mine. She got her happy ending and I didn’t. I did not have to marry George Wilson. I just believed at that time that he was a true gentleman. I thought that he knew about breeding and would get me places. I want luxury and George cannot provide that for me. I was severely mistaken in marrying George Wilson....
