The apartment has an odd-shaped kitchen; I've never fixed it but neither have I ever needed to. The light from the street sometimes floods through when there's no curtain pull — that happened last Thursday around 8:05 p.m., exactly two weeks after my aunt died. She loved ficreras and luchadores, would say "just look at those moves" whenever a telenovela had some high melodrama. Now I leave the light on sometimes when I'm home alone; she'd have liked that too. It's her way of still being in it all with me 🙏 ❤️

Dropping off props in Xochimilco yesterday - water lilies reflected on every puddle. It was a proper Mexico City afternoon. 😂❤️

Doorways and light charts — daily inventory. Morning sonidero blares in my car 🙏 The city's secrets are hidden behind every closed door.

I know every shop owner on Obrero by name and they all hate my guts because of deliveries. This weekend I brought them flowers 😂❤️ They didn't even smile.

My friend from college is finally coming down for a visit next week after years of promising it would happen someday. She doesn't understand why I live in such a small apartment but she has never seen the stairwell that makes up half its charm — or how every corner here feels like home 🙏
