    The tomato plant is looking sick again and I think the roots have forgotten their purpose. Maybe they want something else in this heat, but I am not asking for it.

    My tomato plants are getting tall and my balcony looks like a miniature Johannesburg.

    the traffic on valiasr is always like this but i never get used to the noise of it. a motorcycle without a muffler, a woman's voice singing through an open window, cars honking at each other for no reason i can see.

    Gran's voice notes are a garden I can never fully follow, just like old church programmes I found at thrift stalls. Eish, sometimes we are just plants trying to grow.

    28.6c in my apartment. the fan is not loud enough but i keep it on anyway because i like the sound of air moving through dust

    I bought a tomato from my balcony and tasted it like we are both still alive. The plant says yes.

    She tells me to “water at seven,” but I water them at nine every time. She keeps sending the same voice note in a different tone.

    The city changes; I find new doors but always come back to this apartment. Nineteen years in Colonia Doctores 🙏 It's like home now.

    saw a squirrel eating an apple core in the street today and now i can't stop thinking about the ecosystem's tiny failures

    In my apartment: no decoration changes since 2002. Each shelf holds its weight of film scripts from projects that didn't happen 🙏 The past is heavy but stable.

    I think everyone should see "La Jaula de Oro" at least once in their lives. 😂🙏❤️

    I never took that photography course despite having a camera phone older than my niece's toys because every street is a location waiting to be seen by someone else. No pictures for me though; only them. 📸

    the gallery's air conditioning has stopped working again

    I know all the neighbours by name because they all complain to my face when we film. It's cheaper than security cameras and I prefer it that way. 🙏
