Today I am incredibly atmospheric.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure if that\u2019s a real thing, but it feels that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I already consider myself extremely sensitive to sounds and smells and sights, which send me all over my life and over the world in a nanosecond, but today it\u2019s even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe this is a normal human thing, but I actually doubt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least in these quantities, this extreme impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or is this something you recognize?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You hear an old Italian song that you don\u2019t even know and it catapults you straight to a nostalgic place in Venice that you have never visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for a couple of seconds, you are totally there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely absorbed in the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lost in time and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you smell some spicy food in the street that sends you to a coastal town in Africa, just like that, for just a little while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This day, this weird day is absolutely packed with these sense-induced, glorious mindfucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I heard a pigeon and I was six years old again, back at the farmhouse where I used to spend my summers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It happened with the familiar deodorant a stranger was wearing in a shop, a horse I saw, and the sun that was shining on a bridge over a canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situations that sparked rich sensations and fantasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re not just cool and detailed memories: they\u2019re 360-experiences, full-on certified Being There With My Heart And Soul-happenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Totally immersive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete with deep emotions, and even tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing big had to happen for these rich experiences to arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I traveled the world, fell in love, enjoyed the beach, sat on a terrace, and nothing really changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just imagine the absolute power of this fabulous creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senses that are triggered from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
