.be happy for this moment.this moment is your life.

So, I just watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I was super impressed by it actually...very thought provoking - though quite confusing to begin with. I mean, really which would you rather...completely wipe someone from your memory and everything that went along with them, or just keep all the good memories of them, and deal with the bad ending. Thats really what it comes down to, no matter how upset you are by it, i think i would much rather look back and remember the good times, instead of focusing on the ending. It shows the power of the mind and how much we focus on certain things that are super trivial compared to the big picture. Memories are the most powerful things, and i think have more value than anything. They say you can't by happiness, and when it comes to our memories...it couldn't be more true. I think thats why i think psychology is so interesting. So many things go on inside our heads..that are almost out of control. I mean, think about it...sometimes something will just make you smile, or get teary-eyed without you even really giving it much thought. Like, you don't consciously think, "omg he just smiled at me" and then start grinning and can't stop...it always seems like it happens in the opposite order...i guess at least in some situations. Maybe more so with the teary-eyedness leading to crying...take chick flicks for example...either the tears and thoughts happen simultaneously, or you start to cry 1st, adn then you're like...thats soo sad, or so sweet... Back to the movie...it was so interesting how when he realized how much he really valued their time together, he fought to keep the memories he had left, even if he knew it was hopeless. he just didn't give up, and fought to remember right to the end (I guess if you haven't seen it it won't make sense, but if you haven't and you can handle something thought provoking i highly recommend it)...thats all for now - i'm sorry if this was kinda all over the place.
