Eternal sunshine

Quote from the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

A batchmate from college recently passed away. We weren’t friends, but people are sometimes united because of the oddest reasons.

She was weird and did things other people regarded as outrageous, and her fuck-you attitude became a a reason for many people (me included) to judge her. But she always did her thing anyway, and this I admired her for.

We were classmates for three years but the only times we talked was way back when I was going through a tough time in school, and recently because of something that both of us experienced. She did something for me, something I’ve always wanted to do for her too but always changed my mind about. I regret that now. I take comfort in the thought that perhaps, by talking with her about that thing that we were both going through, I made her feel a little less alone.

I know she’s in a better place now. Probably having tons of fun and basking in eternal sunshine.
