Blue Ruin

I'm just a f*#%ed up girl who's looking for my own peace of mind.
Clementine (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)

I am "nice." I am Clementine and Joel. I am afraid and passive like him, and crazy and impulsive at times like her. I'm looking for peace of mind. I don't know that I'll ever find it.

Blessed are the forgetful; for they get the better even of their blunders.
Friedrich Nietzsche

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
(from Eloisa to Abelard)
Alexander Pope


Sometimes I want to forget. It would be easier that way.
