and i tug at the strings, reluctantly.

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind left me with an afterthought that stuck in my head. i cant seem to imagine having a loved one, or memories for that matter erased from my mind. and its coincidental that just yesterday my gd friend told me that im afraid to release the memories, and somehow to my amazement he could tell me things that i subconsciously did to salvage that memory - and that left me in deep thought, but now i know why. because in each memory - the feelings of joy and pain and sorrow are all blended into that one single experience. and trying to forget all of it is equivalent to letting go of all the happiness as well.

"hold your memories close to your heart, bcos you'll never know when they'll disintegrate and disappear."

everyone should read this; its where the quote 'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' originates.
