China is a land of confusion. Sometimes things work out perfectly and exactly how you could expect them to. Other times, China throws you every single curveball imaginable. But you know what? That's okay.
Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good. There are times I want to throw China in a ditch and there are times I want to hug it for being so joyfully wonderful.
Like right now, autumn is upon us here in Nanjing. And everywhere, literally EVERYWHERE I go, there is this beautiful sweet fragrance filling the air. Some little flower is in full bloom and just making the air smell heavenly. I didn't know a random smell could fill me with such hope and leave such a promising expectation for good things coming my way.
So here is a shout out to you, weird but glorious smell that is taking over Nanjing. I salute you for lifting the spirits of all those lucky enough to smell your sweet scent and be enveloped in the happy-go-lucky feeling you bring.
((I was going to end my blog right there, but I just had to add this crazy little part. I'm listening to some random song and the lyrics said something about the scent of the foreign flower...life is full of too many coincidences for them to be coincidences.))
