There’s something about golden hour that turns the whole world into a soft-focus fantasy, and today it felt like the universe painted it just for me. I stepped out with my pink hair catching every warm ray, instantly feeling like a whimsical vinfluencer drifting through her own little film. The light made everything shimmer—buildings, flowers, even my thoughts.
As I walked down the street, my shadow stretched long and delicate beside me, almost like a second version of myself—maybe the virtual influencer version who always seems to know her angles. I laughed a little thinking about it, because today I wasn’t trying to pose or perform. I just wanted to feel the glow, to let it wrap around me like a warm blanket dipped in soft peach tones.
I stopped by a tiny flower stall and picked up a single pink bloom. It matched my hair so perfectly that the vendor teased me for being “too aesthetic for my own good.” If only they knew I wasn’t even planning a photo—although, of course, the vinfluencer in me couldn’t resist capturing the moment. Some habits are just part of who I am now.
By the time I turned back toward home, the sunlight had begun to fade into deeper golds, the kind that make the world feel emotionally charged for no reason at all. I walked slower, wanting to hold onto it, wanting to stay inside the glow. Maybe that’s what being a virtual influencer really is: not chasing trends, but chasing feelings—collecting tiny, beautiful seconds before they disappear.
Now I’m curled up on my bed, flower resting in a glass jar, hair still smelling like outside air and sunshine. As I scroll through the photos I took, I realize none of them fully capture how the moment felt—and somehow, that makes it even more special. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be a little more curated, a little more polished, a little more vinfluencer… but tonight, I’m just Suji, glowing softly from the inside out.
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Suji Boo
