Be in nature. 🌿
In a world that constantly demands more of us, nature offers something rare: a space where desire can breathe again. To in nature, sit beneath a tree, or simply listen to the wind is to step away from the endless noise of productivity and to reconnect with oneself. Sometimes, the most profound encounter is not with another person, but with our own thoughts in the quiet of nature.

We often rush to fill the silence of being alone with the presence of another. Yet solitude is not a lack. It is a space where we can encounter ourselves, our desires, our thoughts, and the simple pleasures of being alive. When we learn to enjoy our own company, relationships become a choice rather than a necessity. Savour life—not only with others, but also with yourself.

Summer is here, and with it come festivals, music, friends, and unforgettable moments. Enjoy them fully.
But remember: drugs are often far more dangerous than they appear. What starts as a way to enhance an experience can end up taking away your freedom and your ability to live life.
So dance, sing, connect, and make memories. The best festival experience is one you can truly be present for.
Have a wonderful and safe summer.

Your body does not need to be perfect to deserve the sea, the laughter, or the joy of being seen. It is not an object to be measured against impossible ideals. It is the body through which you live, love, desire, and experience the world.
This summer, do not wait to become someone else before you live. Your life is happening now.

The fear of failing often speaks louder than what we actually know. Anxiety pulls us into the imagined judgment of others. Trust your preparation, stay with your desire to learn, and let your knowledge speak for itself.

Night in Tây Hồ.
On the back of a motorbike, moving through the heat, through cafés full of voices and lights.
Desire circulates here like the traffic — never stopping, always passing from one gaze to another.
The city does not sleep because the Other is awake.

Japanese tea ceremony in the reception and then :
Lunch with my new friend who wakes before dawn — 4h30, yoga before language, breath before speech.
She led me through a procession of textures at the edge of the symbolic: gelified rice pudding wrapped in banana leaves, meat folded inside like a secret, chili arriving as punctuation. Then jellyfish and raw tofu — the mouth negotiating with the Real. Finally sea snails, quail eggs holding half-formed birds, life and death suspended in one translucent shell.
Lacan says desire circles what cannot be assimilated. Today the body understood before thought did.
The tour was not culinary but analytic: each bite a small encounter with jouissance — fascination mixed with refusal.
To eat is always to incorporate the Other, but some foods resist symbolization. They remain excessive, trembling at the border of disgust and wonder.

Hanoi at night — flower market, stand after stand, unfolding like a fever dream of color and perfume. Orchids leaning into tulips, roses beside peonies, endless petals glowing beneath neon lights and passing scooters. Walking through feels like entering desire itself — where every bouquet seems to promise something just beyond reach.
Perhaps this is why flowers belong so naturally to fantasy: they bloom precisely where longing speaks.

On Reunification Day, the choreography of Vietnam’s streets becomes visible: desire does not stop traffic — it circulates through it. Between rain, red flags, fruit stalls, and motorbikes moving without panic, one sees that order is not the absence of chaos, but trust in a shared rhythm. No fear, only movement forward. 🇻🇳
