Breath - Smell - Remember

.

Something weird happened to me today...

Today I started my new job at Neu-Lite Electric, so I needed to get my work clothes from the summer from a suitcase in my closet. I found it, and opened it up. Grabbed what I needed, then went on my way. I had chocolate chip Eggo waffles cooking upstairs, and I was listening to music, Billy Talent's Surrender to be more specific... Nothing too out of the ordinary. But as I was putting on my bunny-hug, I breathed in and caught a whiff of it. Caught in my bunny-hug was the scent of my Shaunavon apartment, and the laundry detergent I used while I lived there... That scent, combined with the smell of my waffles upstairs, and the sound of music playing, automatically brought me back about 6 months. In my head, I was actually standing in my apartment, getting ready for work at GW, making breakfast, and pumping Billy Talent. It was so surreal. I actually had to talk myself out of the fact that that was not true, though I didn't want it to be all in my head.

I was so content with myself in those few seconds... I was happy. Everything was perfect, and I loved it. I had no problems with in my life. I had friends, a girlfriend, I was working, and I was having fun being young, not worrying about my future. Pretty much everything my life isn't anymore.

I knew it wasn't real...but I wanted it to be, and I didn't want to leave that moment.

I would give anything to go back and live in those few seconds....
