      Hmm, why does my coffee smell like boiled water?

      An actual thought I had before the penny dropped

      “I’m not touching anything at the moment” you’re either a master of stating the obvious, or you’ve just made everyone in that room very fucking uncomfortable

        Especially because it’s really hard to not touch anything, you’d need to be naked and jumping. And not count touching “air” as touching something.

    This hits really hard for someone that experienced multiple years of anosmia.

    Somebody would say something smells bad, and it really bothered me that I couldn’t smell it.

    Then when I started regaining a sense of smeel (post surgery) the smells I was able to pick up were always bad. The first time I could smell nice things like cooking, or perfume, I was elated.

    Going from, I ate meat that was off because I couldn’t smell it was off or really taste it, to being able to smell cooking was amazing. I will never take the sense of smell for granted ever again.

    weird how no one ever comments on the absence of smells unprompted. the nose just isn’t a topic of conversation unless it’s urgent huh


    sadclowncentral

    “it’s dark in here” normal regular observation

    “finally some quiet” relatable exclamation

    “doesn’t smell like anything in here” absolutely deranged sentence
