Memories

The brain remembers a lot of things, one example is memories. The brain can store memories by different things like taste and sight however, the strongest way is by smell. I have a flood of memories attached to a certain scent, I would describe it to you but I don't know how to. It was what Joe always smelled like, so all of my memories with him are attached to this one smell. The one that sticks out the most though is the time that we went to see a play together. During intermission we went outside and had a lot of fun walking and teasing each other. As you can imagine, now, when I smell that smell my stomach flip-flops and it's very bitter-sweet. This smell and everything that the smell causes usually isn't a problem but, I just bought a few pairs of pants that have that scent. I'm sure after I wash the pants a couple more times the smell will go away, but right now to go around all day with that smell is hard for me. So please, pray for me to stay strong and continue to not have contact with Joe. I know he's not worth it but it's still extremely hard so please pray for me, I really need it right now.
