So, I just got done watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... again. One of the most amazing movies I have ever seen! I am a sucker for dramas that deal with love, conversation (or lack thereof) and anything that has an amazing cast. (Jim Carey, Kate Winslet <3<3<3, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood) This movie makes me think, like a lot of movies do, all but for the grace of the good ol' Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the like.
What if you could actually erase somebody from your memory? Who would you erase? Why? Me personally, I don't think I would erase anyone from my memory because I treasure all of those memories, the good, the bad, the semisweet, the romantic, the hatred. It would be too risky, anyway. Think about it. You could never forget someone. How could you? They have written a page in your book that you cannot rip out. All of the journals I have, I wouldn't throw any away, even the ones that are filled with the memories of J*****. Even the memories that are filled with K****. Even the memories that are filled with the boy who abused me.
When you think about it, they do make your composition up. Every person has left a fingerprint on your heart. Some of them may be smudged, but when you find that one person to wipe it away, then you know that it is perfectly ok to remember.
"Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun, like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But, because I knew you I have been changed for good." - For Good from Wicked
