new essay: THE WEATHER IS GOING TO GET COLD SOON... in which i rediscover a long-lost anime from my past

i always feel strangely guilty when i forget the contents of books/movies/animation i claim to be formative, as though i'm supposed to retain encyclopedic knowledge of everything that's ever moved me. you're right though, forgetting allows us to re-experience where we came from with a fresh mind, and in the process have that wonderful feeling called "remembering", something akin to Plato's conception of amamnesis
