A whiff of a certain scent evokes memories and feelings of a certain period of my life. Like when I was in school and Rejoice used to be the shampoo that I used everyday... smelling it now, would sorta transport me back to the days when things were never as complicated as they can be now. No bills, no big decisions, no debts. Just eat, sleep and study. Looking back, I certainly would have done a lot of things differently back in school, but I'm also glad I turned out the way I am now.
Emotions and memories... go hand in hand. You always feel a certain way about a memory that you have. The feelings you feel about that memory can differ from time to time, but essentially... what you felt at that moment stays on with you forever. Sometimes if that memory is particulary impactful, the feelings you associate with it can cross over to what you feel at present day. Naturally this would be confusing and alarming especially if it is no longer applicable. At times like this, it is best to take a deep breath and focus on what is important.
I'll forever remember the first time I used Pantene, after being on a Rejoice forever. It was for a primary school field trip to Melaka. I sat on a pony. My hair was soft and smelt like flowers.
Goodnight and have a happy week ahead, peeps.
