That “its about to rain” smell

I don’t know how to describe the smell but if you live somewhere where you get all four season you know that smell. I also love saying “I can smell rain” before it hits. Makes me feel like I’m about to get into some long monologue about the beauty of fall while sitting on a porch.

taking a big whiff of the smell of nature when you‘re outside!

I think that walking through daily life, smell is an underappreciated and underutilized sense. Just as a beautiful sunset or bird song in the park can ignite a really pleasant feeling in us, so does getting a big breath of that humid air after a rainfall, or of a stranger’s heavy floral perfume, or the exhaust of an old passing car. once I was walking to class, really stressed and in my head about things, and just remembering that I have this whole other sensory facility to enjoy liberated me wonderfully from the internal spiral. it smelled like rainforest in vancouver that day, as it does today.

trying again

we make silly mistakes and have regrets and they hurt our pride and it’s awkward yeah sure ok but hear me out: sometimes what we are looking for (in any context) lies in revisiting, refining, reliving, remembering. or it lies in the process of doing so. it’s something i’ve been reckoning with recently. if something we learned from the past made us feel something, what can we pull from it? can it be resurrected? or made better? or can we use that feeling elsewhere? sorry for the conceptual philosophical rec that I’ll forget writing but i won’t be able to go to bed unless i write this itchy thought down somewhere

forgiving yourself

“Once I get my body right/my money up/my skin cleared up, it’s over for y’all!” And if you don’t do any of that, cool! That doesn’t make you any less valid! Things take time. We only have so much of it in this life and we spend too much of it thinking about ourselves. Forgive yourself. Forgiving ourselves for being where we are in the present moment frees up mental capacity for us to more meaningfully engage in the world and live outside of our own thoughts. And that’s what feeds our souls. Not looking or being perfect.
