I ♥ the smell of lavender (thanks for having a heart character at my disposal under your user name !). Then again I associate rather happy memories with it.

I believe in the importance of sometimes trying to “replace” the feelings we associate with something with newer ones. For example there are whole streets and places that make me think of unpleasant memories so when I’m in a good mood and feel strong enough, I take a stroll there, that way I know that the next time I’m confronted to that place, it might still be inhabited with meh memories but it will also trigger newer, happier ones.
