smell.

The sense of smell is really powerful, as it has a direct link to our memory space. Scientific research has proven that smelling a certain fragrance will bring back certain memories unique to every individual. That’s why sometimes I do curse my sense of smell. The two wasted years of being a wasted being in the wasted name of love had passed ever so quickly, making all that seem even more wasted. But what can one do, other than not sinking into a public display of despair? There could be many incredible love stories being passed around, ignorantly encouraging unreasonable expectations and mocking those who undergo the exact opposite. There is always something deep inside that even we ourselves are unaware of, but whatever it is, it does drop subtle hints of its presence every now and then-some comes out under alcohol influence, some under solace. The sense of smell brings back memories that are sometimes unwanted, not for its perfection, but for the pain that ensues. Indulgence in pain is probably something condemnable, yet at the same time, some thrive from it. Oh, and it's amazing how much detail one can remember. Let's keep the details to ourselves so as not to freak out those who find them trivial.

Sweet, sweet smell of memories brings back pleasant warmth. She will find love again one day, hopefully.
