One whiff and my brain completely resets. Wow. Getting a hit from being at the ocean is good. But getting a whiff just because you’re in a coastal place but not directly next to or looking at the water is arguably? even better. I’m sitting outside at a cafe in downtown Charleston right now and every time the breeze blows I get a whiff of salt. These negative ions are hitting!!!
(reminder to myself that I can walk down to the river in NYC next time I need a fix)

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.

I’ve never liked breathing in incense, second-hand smoke, air fresheners, gasoline smell, really anything that isn’t clean, clear air. I just love the freedom that comes with taking in a deep breath of cool, dense, oxygenated air. Moist fog, refreshing forest scent, the air brought by nature, that’s what I like.

literally the smell of salt water and fishing boats anywhere has me nostalgic for home.

Stop thinking about germs so much. Touch the subway pole. Touch your mouth after (by accident). Boost your immune system. Live forever.

You don’t need a nap but you still need to lay for a bit. That’s feet up time.
