Baggage

I saw Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind yesterday for the first time completely.  I had resisted for years because I wasn't sure how I would feel because of the idea behind it- erasing someone completely from your memory, and thus your being.  I guess part of my issue stems from the idea that yes, while there are things and people in my past that I wouldn't wish there, it ultimately makes me who I am now.  That may change but at this moment, the good and the bad of all of my past makes me me.  So once I talked myself into watching it, I really enjoyed the movie.  Yesterday was one of those days when I was ready to watch something and have the time to think about what it meant and how it relates to my life. I really can't believe it took me such a long time to finally watch it.. . . next on the list is big lebowski.
