Intimacy

One of my favorite things is greasy bangs. Because I always wonder what they smell like. Probably like forehead. But yes, whether they are straight across bangs or side-swept bangs or just long face-framing bangs, greasiness is always easy to detect and so hard to look away from. I remember when I was going out with Andy, I used to like to smell his face. It always smelled faintly of grease, of facial grease. This probably sounds gross but I feel like when you get to know someone intimately, you grow to like such oddities. Like the smell of their scalp, or you become familiar with their bad breath, and when you’re in a crowd and that person farts silently, you will still be able to tell that it’s that person’s fart because you know it’s that smell. And then sometimes when you get to know a person well, instead of being disgusted by his back pimples, you just want to pop them. And it’s so disgusting right, but it’s also in a way very intimate and sweet and unmistakably genuine because who by choice would ever feel that way towards someone they did not like and love.
