I’m working on my workshop for Reno. It’s on deconstructing emotion, and in particular this part is on emotion and the five senses. And I need your help!
Tell me:
*a sound that scares you
*a smell that makes you happy
*an image that makes you angry
*a touch that makes you feel loved
*a taste that reminds you of home
You could do just one if you’re stumped, or all five if you’re feeling extra-generous! And thank you!!!!!:guitar:
