The reawakening of senses.

Its sort of amazing, how different things are when your nose is suddenly unstuffed or suddenly clear, or suddenly able to smell things that it couldnt just minutes before. Twice lately I have walked in to our kitchen, well aware that something was cooking from walking in the door of our house, and upon getting to the kitchen suddenly felt overwhelmed with smell... to the point of being light headed, to the point of being nauseous. it wasnt that what they were cooking was awful.. it was normal, spaghetti i think both times... I can normally handle that.

Now all of you know how picky I am, well a huge part of it is because of smell... texture and sight too... but smell is the one that gets me the most.

Its amazing what being stuffed up in a room will do. Its amazing how we can become so unaware of what is going on. Of what we are sensing, feeling, of what others are going through. And its now, when im mostly alone, spending hours doing homework by myself, up at odd hours, feeling unable to connect when i realize all the things im missing, and the realization is a bit overwhelming.
