This hits really hard for someone that experienced multiple years of anosmia.
Somebody would say something smells bad, and it really bothered me that I couldn’t smell it.
Then when I started regaining a sense of smeel (post surgery) the smells I was able to pick up were always bad.
The first time I could smell nice things like cooking, or perfume, I was elated.
Going from, I ate meat that was off because I couldn’t smell it was off or really taste it, to being able to smell cooking was amazing. I will never take the sense of smell for granted ever again.
