All can be deleted. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit. Almost everything. Almost as much as your memory can bear to forget, because if you decide to move on, then one way or another it happens. You just have to try. It really is enough to move on to new acquaintances, new paths and unexplored parts of the world and of yourself.

  • Our whole life consists of a course

A course that is never a straight line. Many roads lead to other smaller ones, and you, as the protagonist of your trial, must carve out your own roads and wander if you want on some smaller paths. This path consists of unlimited joy but also pain, especially of turns that often lead to dead ends. And then what?

Then the “deletes” start and you just start deleting without a second thought. Erasing memories, erasing pain, erasing behaviors, erasing wounds. You will need (if it hasn’t happened to you already) to delete both “I love you” and moments and images and feelings, let alone promises. And where you feel ready and ready to turn a page in the past, one morning you discover that that perfume you just smelled reminded you of something. One night in your absolute calm you remembered how that person smelled, or that person who stigmatized you in your life and you confirm to yourself that eventually you can forget everything, except for some specific perfumes.

  • Perfumes bring back memories

I confess that I never liked very strong perfumes, unless they had something special. Unless they were perfumes by people who reminded me of something, along with the color red, you know the one of love or passion. Depending on the person and what he was holding in his hands to offer, beyond his scent.

Sensual, happy, loveable, seductive. Indifferent, sad, guilty. Perfumes that all hide a story behind them. Because you can forget people, or at least let’s say unanimously that it is possible, but never perfumes.

Most people associate smells with people, events, images and moments. A perfume is something very personal, an element of our personality. You smell the scent, that special one of yours and you know it’s somewhere nearby. Even if this “near” is a corner of your mind. Do you still remember? Can you still recognize the feeling behind this very specific scent?

  • Ah, those scents

It is not one, objectively, and what to remember first. Words like reunion, sex, love, words, glances, hug, kiss, friendship, care, warmth, tears, hope, promises. Does something come to mind? Every kiss, every conversation, every hug, every tear, every touch to the heart and mind, connected to some very specific scents. Are you one of those who still smell it on other faces or on your sheets or in the air you breathe?

After so many times you cried over them, so many times you went out to breathe fresh air and new scents, so many times you offered your body to other bodies, why didn’t you forget? It’s as if he does it on purpose so that the scent remains indelible and does not evaporate at all, no matter how many times you smell new perfumes. No matter how many times you taste new “tastes”. It’s there, I know it. It is there to remind you not to forget. He is there to make you hurt or smile at his every thought.

  • Damn the feelings they cause you

After they leave, they forget like people. They cut you to pieces and then ask for change as if to say “who do you think you are to forget me?” Whenever you go to forget me, know that I will return to your memory, so that we are not forgotten. To smile whenever I cross your mind or to simply take a breath of relaxation whenever you need to relax from everything.

  • The cologne in the “drawer”

Are you keeping a secret? Find a well-maintained “drawer”. In this let’s make a promise that in the future you will be able to save every perfume that awakens old good or bad memories. There will be all the thoughts and feelings of these perfumes, but from now on only you will have the keys to this “drawer”. Your memories will wake up, sleep and activate only when you really need it.

And since perfumes have a tendency to evaporate and mix with other smells in the atmosphere, any strong feelings will also gradually soften. So you can forget everything, even people, as long as you want to. But not the perfumes, let me suggest you keep them in this “drawer”.

In a very personal and all your own “drawer”. Because they will always be a sweet, sour, floral or even spicy memory and this allowed me to remind you that it is more than ok, since nothing brings the past to life more effectively than a smell that has been associated with it.
