Roller Coaster Daze

When I first saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a few years ago, I thought the whole premise of it was dumb: who would want to erase a person they loved from their memory? What about all of the good times? Isn’t it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all? Well here I am sitting here, now with a firm understanding of the film, and myself wishing that there really was a service to erase someone from my mind, because it’s all become too painful (yes, even the good memories). The film’s become that much deeper as a result, and in my mind it’s an amazing film especially living through the emotions that motivated it in the first place. And about having loved and lost? At this point I can’t say which is “better”. I lost my first love and it’s become more and more painful every day, to the point where ignorance truly seems like bliss. Peace
