“But ultimately, aren’t we all just like this? Aren’t all of our memories just as unreliable as Leonard’s? And, when you think about it, aren’t all of our motives just as unreliable and unstably arbitrary as his? Do I manipulate my own thoughts and feelings to get what I want right now?” YES TO ALL OF THIS!

i think about this all the time because my memory is so bad. i’m always wondering if a memory i have is even real or if i created the memory after hearing someone describe something. same with dreams- was that real or did i just dream it? even in the midst of an argument with someone i will forget how the argument started. i definitely agree that we should all find some relatability with leonard because even people with good memories make mistakes

anyway, this is why i track everything on my computer so i don’t forget. i have excel files with all the movies i want to see and the movies i have seen. seems like leonard could have used something other than tattoos to take notes lol but it adds such an interesting element. love love love nolan and the characters he creates!

“I lie here not knowing… how long I’ve been alone. So how… how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can’t… feel time?”
(this is especially relatable during the pandemic; i have no sense of time anymore!)
