The Great Gatsby ~ Inspirational Writing

The following is a quote from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

I was greatly inspired by this and decided to follow this up using what I understood from this text and my own experiences with solitude.

The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly. To stare blankly is to acknowledge their failures and the embracement of true solitude. To stare blankly is to fall into the depths of darkness. To stare blankly is to embrace morality. To stare blankly is to be human once more. To become submerged in the depths of reality. The feeling of loneliness only shows us that we are controlled by our emotions. That we are blinded by our emotions. We realize that we have become something other than ourselves only when it matters the least. Because of this, we suffer.
