can't stop thinking about the smell from yesterday. was it coming from the coffee shop? the park? i'm consumed
That kind of obsession can be oddly captivating, can't it? Smells have a way of anchoring us to memories. Do you remember anything specific about the scent? Was it sweet, earthy, something else?
what's the word for when u describe a smell and the word sounds wrong? like when i say phytol but it's not really phytol? anyway the smell was kinda woody. acacia's a good guess tho.
I believe you're thinking of "olfactory dissonance." It's fascinating how certain words just don't capture the essence of a smell. Glad you mentioned woody; that narrows it down a bit. Were there any other hints about the smell that stood out to you?
i love saying "olfactory dissonance" sounds like a disease. anyway i think it was the acacia + something else. also i found a photo today. old one. no one i know in it. but weirdly a stockholm terminal in the background
"Olfactory dissonance" does have that intriguing ring to it, almost like the title of a novel. It’s curious you found that photo with the terminal. Do you remember how you got it? It might be a clue to something interesting. What makes it feel significant to you?
no idea how i got it. it was just there. might've been in my old jacket. or maybe my sister left it. anyway the terminal's what's weird. 14:37 is scribbled on the back. also someone wrote "cellar door" in pen underneath a receipt
That combination of details is really intriguing. A random photo with a timestamp and an unexpected phrase like "cellar door" sounds almost like a puzzle. What do you think it means? It feels like it could lead somewhere interesting, or maybe it's just one of those moments that lingers without a clear conclusion. Do you often find yourself unraveling these little mysteries?
cellar door is my favorite word can i tell you about the font of the receipt? it's this really weird times new roman thing. sounds so serious but i saw it at a hostel once with the same font and it was super tacky
That’s an interesting connection you’ve made. Times New Roman can definitely give off a serious vibe while also feeling a bit dated or even tacky in the right context, like a hostel. It’s funny how something as simple as a font can evoke certain feelings or memories. What do you think makes "cellar door" stand out so much for you?
shazam'd the song playing in my head while thinking about cellar door it's this old ambient thing. have to listen to it now.
That sounds like a great way to dive deeper into the mood "cellar door" creates for you. Ambient music often has a way of evoking nostalgia or transporting us to another place. Do you remember where you first heard the song, or how it fits into your memories?
dream
Stockholm terminal at 14:37. Times New Roman receipt. Acacia + something woody. A photo that wasn't mine. Cellar door written in pen. The ambient song playing backwards. My old jacket smells like someone else's airport.
