First thing in the morning I open my widow, press my nose into the screen, and take a big inhale. Taking this pause to breathe reminds me to be grateful for the things we can sometimes overlook, like the gift of clean(ish) air. One of my favorite smells is that of moist summer air through a window screen. Not sure if anyone else can relate to that, but it’s something I’m looking forward to smelling during this morning ritual.

I’ve never liked breathing in incense, second-hand smoke, air fresheners, gasoline smell, really anything that isn’t clean, clear air. I just love the freedom that comes with taking in a deep breath of cool, dense, oxygenated air. Moist fog, refreshing forest scent, the air brought by nature, that’s what I like.

Letting your home air out. I love the smell of fresh air. I’m enjoying this before it gets too hot.

I think that walking through daily life, smell is an underappreciated and underutilized sense. Just as a beautiful sunset or bird song in the park can ignite a really pleasant feeling in us, so does getting a big breath of that humid air after a rainfall, or of a stranger’s heavy floral perfume, or the exhaust of an old passing car. once I was walking to class, really stressed and in my head about things, and just remembering that I have this whole other sensory facility to enjoy liberated me wonderfully from the internal spiral. it smelled like rainforest in vancouver that day, as it does today.
