content(blog): rewrite "Smell the Flowers" — guarded, no invented scenes

Strip fabricated moments (no dog at the feet, no head-on-foot, no waking up):
state only what's true. Pull the register back from confessional to
principle: the fear of loss and of getting it wrong is framed as the cost of
engaging anything powerful, not personal disclosure. Keeps Maeve's name, the
queen's reason, the want/work thesis, and the Vera tie.
