what bodies of water wear
as a way to fill the void that comes with
birthday reflections and super full moons in gemini,
i started this blog. it is part of a bigger goal i
have this year: following marcelle’s advice,
since i’ve realized over the past three years
that she saw my mistakes coming.
it was my birthday last week, and my two
sagittarius friends and i threw
a bad bunny–themed cabaret talent show.
all this frenchness got me thinking
about moving to paris, as mini and i had initially
planned. it would be a pit stop before i go to
mexico city, of course. marcelle told me
i had to stop filling the void by just moving around
— which i don’t totally agree with —
but i can’t start my new year by
going against my goal. she also told me i should
have a blog and eat hong kong fried rice,
which i did both.
the truth is, there’s something that
ties me to london.
might be work, might be the macro food centre,
might just be marcelle’s voice in my head.
the other day marta was visiting,
and we were drinking mulled wine in borough market
when she pointed at a shop and
asked what brand it was.
she didn’t know aesop.
i basically have a bachelor’s degree in aesop.
i wrote essays, did projects, and trend reports
on east london nomads and their aesop obsession
— back in 2023, when you wouldn’t see
those scent notes everywhere.
i don’t know if people would relate to my aesop
jokes in paris;
the perfume humor scene is different there.
nahui and i are also growing our
le creuset collection. marcelle and madeleine gave
me a water bottle and a tea cup for my birthday.
i sense it’s a way to keep me hydrated
and tied to this city.
i couldn’t leave such an amazing shared
collection behind. i also have a brand-new
work visa, so i can’t really throw it away, can i?
so, cheers to another year of
being a london accutane baby!
but this year, i will be a london
accutane baby blogger.
