lav-atory
the nasty ass toilet at the football court smelled of lavender, no doubt from an air freshener hastily sprayed around once in a while by the staff to help combat the nasty ass odours in there.
i took one sniff of that lavender and i was instantly reminded of my room during my NS days. it always smelled of lavender.
on my first day there, our rooms had been laying dormant for months. i opened my cupboard and i have no idea why, because it was totally bare, but it smelled so bloody horrible.
it was as though something died in there and remained there for so long that it had been completely decomposed and no traces remained except for that smell.
that weekend i went out and bought an air freshener for my cupboard, and from that point onwards the lavender accompanied me for 8 months.
one sniff opened up so many memories, but stronger than any memory are the emotions that accompanied that period in my life. it was such a crazy time that i would NOT want to relive ever.
