Despite the 25 years that separate us, I am undoubtedly my mother’s daughter. This realization resonates deeply within me. Our relationship comprises many layers, shaped by the memories of our shared past, the hectic present we navigate, and the uncertain future that looms ahead. We embody both the visible and the hidden—much like an iceberg.
Have you ever considered how perfumes are crafted? Each fragrance consists of top, middle, and base notes, creating a complex olfactory experience. Interestingly, a scent can react differently on various individuals, making it unique to each wearer. The fragrances we choose tell our stories and leave lasting impressions that endure well beyond our physical presence.
Beneath the myriad of emotions and experiences, my mother and I share more than just our DNA; we possess a distinct essence that binds us together.
