Our Memories Make Up Who We Are
I had a craving to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it’s one of my few comfort movies. I wonder what drew me to watch it for the 100th time but here I am. As I sit here completely captivated by Joel played by Jim Carey I understand his character more and more every…

I’m watching the rain fall outside my window, the pool is overflowing because it’s been raining for hours and to be honest it seems fitting in this moment.
