Week 203 Preparing myself when I cannot perceive them.

I always used to think that my sense of smell is not so developed because it is sometimes difficult for me to perceive smells that other people smell immediately, my sense of smell is usually slower in detecting a smell, this has its advantages and disadvantages, being aware of this, I try to breathe in deeply to memorise the smells that make me happy and thus remember moments every time that same smell is repeated, so the memories of happy moments appear.

There are many smells that I like very much, but there are always those that are special to me, among them are:

The smell of baby.

In my family there are few babies so when my niece was born it was a moment of euphoria as it was unusual to have a baby at home, my sister's room was very crowded and you almost had to make an appointment to see the baby, I had my VIP access to the room due to my influence with my sister, so I spent as much time as possible with the baby, as I wanted to keep her sweet baby smell in my memory whenever I could I smelled her, I tried very hard to keep that smell in my memories, it was like a hoover so much that my sister said that she was going to leave the baby without smell, time later I could realize that that characteristic smell of my niece was the same in other babies, that is why the smell of baby is very nice, of course as long as she is clean hahahahahah.

Smell of earth

Another smell that fascinates me is the smell of earth, whatever its presentation, dry or wet, this is a very pleasant smell for me, in general I love the earth, I like to grab it, smell it a lot, of the four elements of the environment I think that mine is the earth, I can spend hours moulding it and smelling its aroma, sometimes I think I was not allowed to play with small earth as I have a great affinity for it and the smell that spreads the wet earth after the rain is the best smell of all called Petricor, no matter what kind of material the earth contains, sand, silt, clay all of them are very pleasant to me: sand, silt, clay all have a special smell for me.

Smell of rain

Next a smell that is also my favourite is the smell of rain, I can smell this smell even before it rains, the air is impregnated with the magical scent. Rain is very special to me because it brings back beautiful memories, lately it hasn't been raining as it should although we are in the rainy season, however when it rains, it is the most relaxing time, I always place some buckets to collect the water from the sky just like my grandparents used to do because they said it had medicinal properties.

I think that every scent can become the entrance door to the boot of memories, I usually value very much every smell, every fragrance because sometimes I think that I can lose my ability to smell (strange ideas that sometimes I have because I do not perceive the smells like others) and I want to have engraved in my mind every scent and every sensation that each smell provides me.
