    This meme pains me. Have had two surgeries on my nose and sinuses to help this, but I had an S-shaped septum and weak cartilage surrounding my nasal valves. Breathing in collapsed one valve, breathing out collapsed the other, and that had happened pretty much my entire life. So much better now, but my breathing will never be “normal”.

      I don’t know what my nose is doing, but I haven’t ever gone a day without blockage in at least one nostral, with overflow threatening another.

      But sometimes… Sometimes I can breathe. And it’s like I smell ALL the fuckin smells. Do you ever get that? It lasts just a moment usually for me… A half a no minute at most. It’s amazing.
