This was very strongly written - and on an important topic. I really like that movie - eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

Just because of random connections I watched “Scott pilgrim” recently for the first time - and I strongly suspect that as that movie is to middle and younger millennials - eternal sunshine is to the older millennials. Both films touched such emotional nerves of “extremely accurate” sentiment in different ways.

In other significant ways - both those worlds are gone. Interactions are different. But we don’t forget. I don’t want to forget - ever. My stubborn challenge is integrating it I guess.

There is a fair amount of hope in feeling. Some “this time is different and better” energy - and I hope a lot of people feel that.

People who have cling on to old cycles are panicking now - on serval levels. People like me “cancelled” several times over - the immunity conferred is now opening up into new positivity. - so it seems.
