Best little things in the world....continued.

Next we have....smell of garlic. popcorn. lavender. oranges. perfumes/cologne (yes, I thought of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer). Nothing turns heads more than a unique, beautiful, salivating, "words can't describe", type of smell. Even for a photography nut like me, I still can't deny that smell has a staying power stronger than any image. Think of that girl/guy you had a crush on back in elementary/high school who might've had a distinct smell. Even to this day you can probably recognize it, but forget the face, no? Or maybe I'm just crazy haha.

Best Little Things in the World

I was thinking of Amelie the other day (in particular the scene where Amelie reaches into a sack of beans just for the comfort), made me realize the importance of the little things in everyday life, as compared to the big accomplishments. I'm not saying big accomplishments (good grades, getting a good job, etc.) is unimportant, but it's the tiny things that make me wake up everyday and want to live life. Whether it's a particular passage in a song, a particular whiff of smell you catch on the street, or anything else like that, it's what makes me appreciate life the most. Here are some I can think of:

• Rufus Wainwright, "Going on a Town" app.2:06

"I may just never see you again or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you America"

One of my favourite bridges in a song.

• cobblestone roads

I just imagine myself one day, living in Europe, driving on a Vespa, and enjoying life!

More to come soon!
