Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004
i used to be terrified of returning any affection from people who i thought were romantically interested in me, even if i liked them, because i would flash through my brain the inevitable stakes of getting involved, the unwillingness to potentially cause harm and heartbreak, always deciding that the easiest path forward was always no path at all. this movie ended and i thought it was so sweet, the assertion that even if it's doomed it's still worth it, even…

kiki’s a country witch who re-pots herself in a bustling metropolis. so many beautiful themes and truths of life woven across this gorgeously wrought story. reminds me that living is putting yourself out there, and home is where you make it, even when it’s cold and miserable. people pick each other up because they’ve been low before. so much of pushing yourself across the threshold is learning what puts the wind in your sails. very very nice.
people may say it’s slight, but also isn’t life? broad swaths of my life have been just about finding my footing, and i can’t even fly.
