Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

It's raining here in Dominica and I'm stuck in this freezing classroom looking over notes with tea in hand. lol emo post kind of sort of.



Just re-watched this movie after awhile. Man it hits close to home. No matter how bad shit got with THAT ex (lol) and everything I'll never want to forget it all. You also realize how you could have and probably should have acted (But no regrets!). There are those moments that you just treasure.

I really like how in the movie he lives through the scenarios of their past and then snap back to the reality that he's going to forget it all. The good and the bad. You only feel the bad because of the absence of how good things were. I wonder what it would be like to go through each moment again with that someone in your past.

Great movie. Great acting. Great soundtrack.
PS. I don't know how to add tags any more to posts haha

Sherry Turkle: Connected, but alone?


She makes a valid point. We're becoming less self-aware and most of the time people are too afraid of being alone. I do see the irony as I post this on the internet haha.

RETHINK THE LIFE YOU LIVE

On the way to Kincardine

Reminds me of that scene in Pleasantville where
they drive under cherry blossoms while At Last by 
Etta James is played in the background.

Random Thoughts:

It honestly hurts when someone close to me decides to flop. I have been trying to figure out why this happens because when other people flop it doesn't affect me. It might be because I might still gauge my worth as a person by the approval of the people I surround myself with. That is kind of the reason why I do not like to keep a social profile. Sometimes it seems as if it is a cry for attention/acceptance by my peers, and so I choose to rely only on myself. But there are those people that you let in a little closer and unconsciously you begin to want their approval. I think it is this wanting to be recognized and respected that allows myself to be affected when I am brushed off.
I could be over-thinking this but then again it may just be that "season" again.
