Comments
Whether asked to make comments on a property for sale or comments on written content on ActiveRain, consider how your words impact other people. After all, everything is subject to interpretation. A comment is merely an opinion, a response from your personal point of view.
Clutter
What is clutter? It's a collect of people's belongings, memories, an illustration of how a person lived, examples of what one thinks about life experiences, mementos from adventures, subjective pieces of art, other people's memories strung together in various places throughout a room, photographs in the MLS, photos on ActiveRain, objects personally tucked inside a bedroom, nick knacks and paddywacks hung like trophies on walls. Something stored on shelves, inside bookcases, etc. It is a collection of material goods, and snapshots of the life one lived. All clutter is personal to the buyer or the seller, the writer or the reader.
Smells
Some scents are obvious; others not so much. A smell is an odor of something pleasant, sweet, spicy, a distaste, something familiar or unfamiliar, a reminder from your past that triggers good or bad thoughts. The smell of leather, wet fur on a dog, dust, dirt, household cleaners, church candles, deodorizers, human smells. Everything smells good or bad, fresh or musty, clean or in need of sterilization, different or unusual; perhaps you're indifferent, more tolerant, or less. Even words written on paper or read in comments can conjure up events that took place previously in your life, something you read but you can't remember where you heard it, but it's clearly obvious you heard it all before and something looks or smells fishy.
In sum, what are comments? It's an interpretation of your own colorful or black and white thoughts, memories stored in the cloud, ideas triggered by other people, places, things, word content, and clutter stored in the attic of your mind. Sometimes there are no right or wrong answers.
