Fragrantica dot com has better, more refreshing writing than most modern day poetry. Quality poetic writing can be found nowadays, but most of it will be found in unexpected places, corners of the internet, where people aren’t consciously trying to write poetry, and aren’t merely roleplaying old genres or deep-frying literary references. Most people hear “poetry” and think of something obscure, Shakespearean, or meant to be deciphered like a riddle. But poems aren’t puzzles. Good poetry holds its own, speaks for itself, and surprises. Perfume reviews, when written earnestly, force the writer to contend with experience itself, as scent resists straightforward, objective description. We have pre-delineated vocabularies for what we see and hear, but not for what we smell. To describe a fragrance, people are pushed toward metaphor, image, memory, essence, and invention. Perfume creates poets.

the habituation effect (or hedonic adaptation) is such an interesting but at the same time annoying mental mechanism: even things you really enjoy can quickly start to get boring just because someone around talks about it way too much and seems completely obsessed with it

I respect you so much for waking up this conversation. A lot of friendships are hostile and competitive because there is this need for a friend with a little bit more experience to look down and consistently lecture their other friend just for existing and experiencing life in-

I thought of a new hypothetical to ask your partner: if I was an invasive species would you kill me for the good of the ecosystem or would you love me so much that you’d allow me to ravage the earth

Love is just the gradual replacement of curiosity with familiarity, except somehow the familiarity becomes even more curious

Emily Dickinson never published in her lifetime, barely left her house, and wrote nearly 1,800 poems in secret. She was the original person who never posted but had an insane drafts folder. The greatest lurker in literary history.

It’s kinda hard to befriend someone who once I love dearly, I would need time and space where I can position myself better as a friend if I do so. I’d rather keep my space away from them even if we break up in good term.
