A strong start to the long weekend. Zesty and bright. Very lemon-lime. It’s a crisp bottle of small-batch soda – fizzy, tart, upper case citrus, lower case floral. A vivid lemon verbena takes the lead, but its edges are softened by honeysuckle petals. Pretty high-fidelity scent for a sunshine citrus; I got at least five hours. It’s also a reincarnated lost love of mine: Coach Legacy, the scent-track to my senior year, but more potent and acidic. Friday has a sweetness that almost bites. A smile is just a baring of teeth, no? But I love the sharpness to it, and something about that citrus-honeysuckle combo hits so good. I’m not a regular weekday. I’m a cool weekday.
Mental Snapshot: Opening credits to a teen romaticomedy, or an indie bildungsroman. School’s out for summer. Zipping through the burbs with the top down. Kiss assault from a golden retriever. Solo cups of spiked lemonade. Forget glass half-full, it’s practically overflowing. If you dare pout, they’ll push you in the deep end and flog you with a pool noodle.
tl;dr: relentless happiness
