To think about happiness? I was happy even before
Cat
cameI was happy from the day I went to Jamie's houseNot like
now,
I didn't dream anybody could ever feel as happy as I do every time I
look at Cat, every time I hold her, or feed herBut I was happy, all
the same, because the O 'Haras took me just the way I wasThey
never
expected me to be just like them, they never made me feel I had to
change, they never made me feel I was wrong
Even when I was wrongI had no call to expect Kathleen to do my
hair
and mend my clothes and make my bedI was putting on airs
With people who never did anything so tacky as put on airs
themselves
But they never said, chanel purse for cheap "Oh, stop putting on airs, Scarlett No, they
just let me do what I was doing and accepted me, airs and allI was awful wrong about Daniel and all moving to
BallyharaI was trying to make them be a credit to meI wanted
them
to live in grand houses and be grand farmers with lots of land and
hired hands to do most of the workI wanted to change themI
never
wondered what they wantedI didn't take them just the way they
were
Oh, I'm never going to do that to Cat
I'm never going to make her different from what she isI'm always
going to love her like I do now-with my whole heart, no matter what
Mother never loved me like I love CatOr Suellen or balenciaga bag amethyst Carreen,
either
She wanted me to be different from me, she wanted me to be just like
herAll of us, that's what she wanted from all three 'of usScarlett recoiled from what was in her headShe'd always
believed her mother was perfectIt was unthinkable that Ellen O 'Hara
could ever be wrong about anything
But the thought would not go awayIt returned again and again when
she was unprepared to shut it outIt returned in different guises,
with different embellishmentsIt would not leave her aloneBeing a lady like her isn't the only way to beIt isn't
even always the best way to beNot if it doesn't make you happy
Happy is the best way to be because then you can let other people chanel watch black . be
happy, tooShe was kind and
patient and caringfor us children, for Pa, for the darkiesI wish you could have felt the
way I feel now, I wish you could have been happyWhat was it
Grandfather had said? That his daughter Ellen had married Gerald O
'Hara to run away from a disappointment in loveWas that why she
was
never happy? Was she pining over someone she couldn't have the
way I
pined over Ashley? The way I pine now over Rhett when I can't help
it
What a waste! What a horrible, senseless wasteWhen happiness
was so
wonderful, how could anyone cling to a love that made them unhappy?
Scarlett vowed that she wouldn't do itShe knew what it was to chanel purses and handbags be
happy, and she would not ruin itShe caught her sleeping baby up in
her arms and hugged herCat woke and waved her helpless hands in
protest"Oh, Kitty Cat, I'm sorryI just had to hug you some
They were all wrong! The idea was so explosive that it woke Scarlett
from a sound sleepThey were wrong! All of them-the people who
cut
me dead in Atlanta, Aunt Eulalie and Aunt Pauline, and just about
everybody in CharlestonThey wanted me to be just like them, and
because I'm not, they disapproved of me, made me feel like there was
something terribly wrong with me, made me think I was a bad person,
that I deserved to be looked down on
was as terrible as all louis vuitton whisper bag th
