Missed Connections in Providence, RI
Oh My Darling Clementine
Just like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
a coincidence perhaps
that we meet 9 years ago
even though we haven’t spoken a word in 3 years and I am happily leading a new chapter in my life,
I wake on end of summer/windy almost fall like days like today wishing I never knew you
but really really happy that I did
cause you changed my life and I really never ever could thank you
if that makes sense
I miss you , I hope that you are doing well
I feel like even though you will never read this
at least I put it out there on the sand
Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder: Michel Gondry’s film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, is one of my favorites which is what initially attracted my attention to this message. Much like the film, we all go through life wishing we could erase a memory of something painful, but would we really chose that if given the option? And could our brain and body allow us to even if we did? Nothing is ever truly obliterated.
