I just watched Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind again tonight with some friends. That movie still strikes something in me each time I watch it. Even though I have seen it several times now. I think it is because of the painful memories I have of the past 6 months. It hurt so much, even thinking about now still brings tears to my eyes. And I am not someone who cries all the time. I almost lost who I was, and it took a long time to crawl back out of the hole. At least I have had friends and family to help me through my roughest time. It made me apprciate how fragile some things are in life, not to mention how things can change so quickly. It is good to have goals in life to work twards, but they are pointless if these goals are done alone. Life is a precious thing, it needs to be lived. So much of what I was doing started to have less meaning when my closest friends were gone to share them with. It is all about balance. At least that is what I think. I guess you can say it was a life changing experiance for me. For all the pain though, there are so many good memories. I think the movie does help drive home the point that even if things fall apart, you shouldn't forget the memories of times you were happy. At least I have regained my silly streak, I had lot that for awhile. I think it is something that everyone needs to have. To help keep the joy in life.
Also, just wanted to give a shout out to the new friends I have made in LA like Sarah for one. Has made the change to LA much easier than I thought it was going be. :)
Everyone have a safe halloween weekend.
