eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Our relationship has its ups and downs. I'm not one to air my dirty laundry in public, as my new philosophy is to document only happy moments, not sob stories.

One of the greatest abilities of the human mind is its power to forget. We've both forgiven much but forgotten most. Sometimes it's good to remember, but only to recall the lessons learned. When the fight gets too heated, emotions are heightened, sanity scatters, and our harsh words can potentially break us up, but they can definitely break something else too.

What if there were a way to erase it all? When we're in the middle of an ugly brawl, aside from my swollen eyes, it's my heart that suffers the most. Yet still, my heart keeps beating. Because even when broken, it still works.

"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love." - Mother Teresa.
