a mistake

This is a very short excerpt from Alexander Pope's Eloisa to Abelard:


How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!



I guess it's Eternal Sunshine that gave me the idea to write that letter to Dana the other night. I wonder if it was a mistake to re-open my wounds. I know they weren't healed yet, but this really set me back some. I wonder if I should move somewhere new. That would be nice. Maybe then I could actually get somewhere in life. This town is heavy on the heart. I need some new ideas, and this place isn't going to give me any.
