Mind Erasure

Would you erase a bad relationship from your memory if you had the chance? If all it took was one night spent hooked up to a computer to forever forget a lost love, would you go for it?

This is the theme from "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," a film that proposes the ability to do that is but a doctor's office visit away.

Today where I am mentally and emotionally makes me want to do just this. There are moments in the day, especially, when you're going through something. You think, “I don't need this! Why can't I just let this go?”

I think we all tend to make the same mistakes over and over again - not that you wouldn't anyway - if you knew. I think in any relationship there are beautiful moments and then not so beautiful moments. Sometimes, I think you can get the fairy tale... that you actually can be together forever with somebody. But the question is how many somebody's does it take to get to the center of forever? So, I don't really think I can subscribe to that anymore.

Would I want to erase the memories, be it good or bad? I am saying yes, but deep down all I really want to do is erase is the loneliness.

In retrospect it always seems to work out that you can look back on something that was a disaster and find some gems in there.
