!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

To eat your heart out (Only Educational purpose).- Thanks, Maria José, for sharing this expression

If someone says eat your heart out followed by the name of a famous person, they are joking that they are even better than that person:I'm singing in the village production of Tosca next month - eat your heart out Pavarotti!
(Definition of eat your heart out from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary & Thesaurus © Cambridge University Press)

somebody, eat your heart out!  (humorous)
something that you say which means that you or someone you know can do something better than a person who is famous for doing that thing I'm taking singing lessons. Celine Dion, eat your heart out!
