sometimes it's okay to be do things for poetic reasons in a kind of cringe way. actions speak louder than words, yes, but they can also be just as layered, discrete, abstract, etc.
Fuck the classics, unless that's what you ACTUALLY want to read. Read erotic novels, books only written by Real Housewives or just the paper. Just read, your aging brain will thank you.
I worked with a woman last year who smelled rich, old money rich. Like incense, reminding me of funerals in Catholic Churches. She left her smell in each room she exited. For Christmas I received a lot of perfume, I plan to stink out each room I enter and exit.
