I've had enough of vanilla and rain and smoke and whatever the FUCK sandalwood is. Here are some uncommonly used scents I've encountered and enjoyed in this life
Fresh clean laundry
Leather
Wood
Paper (old or new)
Sugarcane
Honey
Ginger
Straw
Rosin
Cocoa
Dough
Oats
Herbs (maybe not just mint bc her back is TIRED with how much she carries in here)
Any of the holy hard spices. Not just cinnamon‐ but also anise, clove, nutmeg, AND the savory queens like paprika and cardamom
Root vegetables (Listen. Listen. They're all good and unique and tasty and you need to hear me out on this)
Also since things like candles, incense, soaps, candies and teas can come in many different flavors/scents but will always have some underlying scent from their base material attached to them, they make for good layered/complex scents
This is more of a pet peeve than anything but an easy way to make up cooler scents is to just. Be specific. Especially if your starting idea is super broad. "she smelled like trees" pick a tree "they smelled like bread/pastries" pick one "he smelled like flowers" I'm telling you the are so many unique— and maybe even symbolic if that's your plan— flowers at your disposal rn
NOTHING wrong with these scent choices they're all good and I love them dearly but. I can only read about so many flower boys before I go a little crazy. The world has too many amazing scents for us to be running the one okay scent of general flowers into the ground
Reasons someone may not have replied that aren’t the bad reasons your brain suggests to you (they’re mad, stopped caring, you aren’t important, etc).
They’re asleep/resting.
They have no service.
They want to take time to form their reply.
They don’t have the energy to reply right now.
They’re working / don’t have access to their phone.
They accidentally opened the notification and meant to reply and got distracted (this doesn’t mean they don’t care either! I do this a lot and I love my loved ones dearly. My brain is just chaotic sometimes.)
They’re in a really bad place.
They’re in a situation where it’s rude to use their phone.
They really just want a break from talking to people.
They are enjoying a movie, game, activity, etc.
Something came up they had to deal with asap.
They may have thought they responded (I’ve gone to check a text convo only to see my message sitting in the typing box and I hadn’t hit “send”)
A lot of the time, to challenge irrational thoughts we need alternative explanations to combat them. Here are some for a situation when a loved one hasn’t replied to you. I encourage you to plan for other situations that come up for you as well.
