Memories-do not open #totw33

I didn’t expect this to happen and more I did not know we remember others by the scent they left behind. I was in a store shopping for some groceries after work. A man walked in front of me with a newborn baby in the carriage. I then smelled his perfume which probably lighted up my area in my brain which collects memories. OMG it was the same scent I bought for my ex boyfriend of 11 years. He is the reason I started to write this diary.

I came closer behind this dad and he smelled so good I started to remember him and this made me uncomfortable. Why? Because this is one of th “good memories” and they hurt. Instead of avoiding him I wanted to get closer and smell this beautiful perfume which I loved so much. My ex boyfriends smell was so great I swear it was like a drug. We carry all our memories good or bad within us somewhere they are stored and it just takes something like a scent to make our reality unstable under us,,,,I really loved this man after all the crap he did to me..but I am happy with the outcome of it all

Life is for experiencing all the areas of love pain and suffering only then have we lived
