Standing in the middle of Dogwood Park my nose grabs hold of a waft, a waft of cotton candy, vanilla like smelling breeze that entangles my head. I am instantly transported 10 years back to being 8 years old standing at the Princess restaurant in Disneyland. My eyes are bulging at the marvelous sights, I am standing in the middle of this castle decorated restaurant surrounded by sugary, mouth watering foods. A Cinderella cake grabs my attention, I know in that instant I cannot leave without it. The open doors let in a breeze; it’s a nice contrast to the florescent rays beating down on my back. I saunter out to the terrace with my cake, beaming ear to ear. Cotton candy air is being piped in and defused through multiple mini fans engulfing the premises. In this moment I remember pure, uninterrupted happiness; a moment of sheer innocence.
I am soon brought back, standing with my dog on a walk through the clouds and mist. Its funny how a single scent can take you back to a seemingly insignificant moment in time with such a vivid memory.
