I smelled one special smell on my way home which took me back to my childhood. It made me remembered the soup that my mom made when we lived in our old house. And I inhaled heavily but the smell had gone which despaired me.
In fact, I usually smelled such special smells and I’m sure most of us have such experiences. Smells carry special memories and we always connect the unforgettable things with the smell. It rained a lot recently and the smell of the rain took me back to the autumn in my hometown, the dirty road, the falling and yellow trees……while straws are burning, I could remember my grandpa stewing chicken on the stove. But I couldn’t get back to the past. Such short memories made me soak in the past moments and they would linger in my mind for a few minutes.
Life has memories and smells are just a carrier of these memories. Besides smells, some special scenes would drag us back to one special time in the past. When I saw a few boys around ten years old chasing and laughing, I recalled my friends. And I would follow them for a while and stare at them. It seemed I was one of them at that moment.
We might remember what we’re doing now one day in the future while we’re attracted by the relevant smells. What we could do now is to create different and beautiful moments so we ‘ll enjoy these beautiful moments again in the future.
