I recently watched the best movie of my life, also known as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In the movie a girl(Kate Winslet) gets her mind wiped clean of all recollections of her current boyfriend (Jim Carrey). He is devastated when he discovers the news, and in response rushes to the same place to have his memory edited of her.
During the process Carrey relives his memories of her in fragments that are crumbling as we watch. There are glass-like moments, clear and painful, that remind him that despite their petty arguments, life with her was bliss.
Perhaps it would have been better to let those violins remain unheard, and to remain in that eternal sunshine. Maybe it would have been easier to never have crossed paths, to never have heard those blending tunes that cry 'Here I am...*'Then again, those glass-like moments are something to be cherished, cuts and scars included. For they only remind me that life then was bliss. I think I'll keep the rain clouds.
