WHAT IS THE SEXIEST, SULTRIEST, AND CUNTIEST CITY IN THE WORLD?AND WHY IS IT MEXICO CITY?!
The moment you touchdown in Mexico City you’re met with the sultriest energy. Unsure if it’s the immense amount of smog, $3 Uber Blacks, or the smell of the best tacos you’ve ever had in your life hung in the air; but the energy is just enchanting.
Everyone always says Mexico City is one of the best cities in the world, but I thought people were being hyperbolic. And frankly, didn’t get out much. I have to admit I was immediately won over the moment I pulled up to Museo Soumaya straight from the airport while I waited for my room to get ready.
For reference, I ended up in Mexico City for a solo birthday trip. It all happened quite serendipitously. My mama had a $800 flight voucher that she had to use or lose, so she gave it to me. Sorry, but a free first class ride to CDMX? Cunt, fasho!
On top of that, the fella I was entangled with at the time booked me a lovely stay in Roma Norte and gave me some vex money to splurge on whatever I wanted. vvvvvvvvvv cunt!
After I got my immediate art fix, I dropped my bags and immediately got a feel for my new ‘hood for the week. I always love to be on foot in a new place to learn my surroundings–get a feel for the style, vibe, and quickest ways to get home. Yanno just in case.
As I aimlessly wandered, I couldn’t help but notice how incredibly romantic this city was. Absolutely no one in this city was afraid of yearning.
Teens possessively hold onto each other as they coyly giggle through the park; young lovers chain smoking cigs and tenderly caressing each other at a cafe; the married couple sneaking kisses in between taking orders and making tortas at the taco stand on the street corner.
I’ve never experienced anything like that! CDMX is full of 10M people who aren’t embarrassed to love but passionate about it! And honestly, that surrender to romance, yearning, sensuality, and desire not only informed the rest of my trip, but is informing my 28th year.
Before I dive into all of my recommendations, I want to leave you all with the questions I reflected on during the trip, and am currently reflecting on:
In what ways have I been rejecting sensuality and romance in my life?
How can I shed the embarrassment around yearning in my relationships?
What do I wish I was more passionate about? How can I show up more authentically in that?
