Electric Rain and Salad Dressing

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam · 2026-10-17

The storm in Ho Chi Minh City hit hard, but my brain just kept analyzing why I couldn't remember the name of a spice until I finally ate it. Sitting here in this warm blue dress with a bowl of salad on the table, I caught my reflection smiling at my own overthinking before the thunder rolled again. Tonight feels electric, like the rain and my curiosity are having a very lively argument.
