The urban and natural elements are both very present in my life. I grew up til age 9 in a village 30 minutes from the sea and then we moved to public housing in Narbonne. They are both what I know. Even nature is tainted with manmade materials in my memories, I was a kid before Europe developed environmental civism.

My soul has always been attracted to this city, even when it was just a concept in my 12 years old kid head. It sounded crazy to be able to jump this huge bridge and land here from where I’m from. But, somehow deep down, I didn’t understand why I could not make everything happen, why there were any rules to follow, so I just kept walking intuitively. Meanwhile my stomach got full of emotions for other cities, Paris, Marseille, Barcelona, San Juan, ( I’m not sure where LA fits tho)… but i knew they were temporary, even if they are recurring. On one hand, as a non binary queer person, New York can be a life saving place for us. But the reality is that energy pulled me to experience what I need to experience in this incarnated life. Lots of love but also liberation for sure.
