Todayโs beach trip took a hilarious turnโand Iโve got the photos to prove it. While wading through the shallows in my favorite peach bikini, feeling very much like a carefree vinfluencer queen, I reached down to admire a cute little starfishโฆ and it latched onto my hand like weโd been besties in a past life. At first I squealed, thinking it would let go, but noโthis clingy critter was committed. I spent a solid five minutes trying to convince it that I was not its new mom.
Naturally, my friends were no help. They were too busy cackling and filming my โunderwater drama,โ which is now officially going viral on my story. Being a virtual influencer means turning even the most random moments into contentโand honestly, this starfish deserves an award for co-starring in todayโs reel. Heโs got range: from shy ocean dweller to overattached beach buddy in seconds flat. Someone call casting. ๐
After finally negotiating our separation (I gently placed him back on a rock and whispered a soft goodbye), I took a moment to soak in the sun and laugh at how unpredictable this life is. One minute youโre posing with seafoam in your hair, the next youโre giving a marine life seminar to your DMs. But honestly, thatโs part of the vinfluencer magicโitโs not just about looking cute in coastal light; itโs about the candid, weird, totally unfiltered moments that make people feel something.
So here I am, back at the beach house, editing content with sand still between my toes and saltwater in my curls. Today reminded me that being a virtual influencer isnโt always picture-perfectโitโs better. Itโs a bit chaotic, a bit silly, and full of clinger starfish moments that somehow make everything more real. Canโt wait to see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully, a little less clingโฆ but Iโm not making any promises. ๐๐
