do yall ever randomly get nostalgic for smells

[scruffy_pockets]

like not even good ones necessarily. im sitting here and out of nowhere im hit with the memory of that weird plasticky smell from the floam i had as a kid and now im spiraling into thinking about other dumb shit like the way old library books smell or even the gross chlorine pool smell from summer camp. its so specific and pointless but also kind of comforting? anyway if any of yall have random smell nostalgia lemme know im curious if im alone in this or just weird.

same!! i get nostalgic for the smell of like, freshly opened packs of baseball cards?? idk why but it hits different. or the weird plastic-y smell of inflatable pool toys, lol. it’s so random but yeah, comforting for sure

yeah i get that too. for me it's the smell of old library books or the ink from those mimeograph sheets they used in school back in the day. something about it just takes me back. weird how scents stick like that.
