Go directly from the soul’s wound to art...

The fear I have is future failures because they’ll surely be.
So??

I don’t want my life’s tools become "plasters on a wooden leg."

I dream of having an epiphany.

If I could see my future, I think I would stop living.

My feelings are often sawtooth: I like it, then I don’t like it, then I like it, then I don’t like it, etc.

There’s gesture and "non-gesture".

I can be very superficial sometimes.

Part of me believes that to be alive and well... I have to feel discomfort.

I "bought" a way of living and doing which doesn’t belong to me.

To love deeply one’s work is a reward every day.

I'm obsessed with my craving to create.
I’m obsessed with my craving for freedom.
I'm obsessed with my craving for truth.

In life, there’re no failures; as long as I draw lessons from the events, I succeeded.

I'm not depressed; I’m sometimes in a quiet period before the action, I am in transition.

I'm not lost; I'm sometimes in a research period.

I have not failed: things are sometimes postponed.

Friends are angels who put us back on our feet when our wings have forgotten how to fly anymore.

To believe in something and not living it, it's dishonest. -Gandhi-

These are the choices I make that affect my life, not the circumstances. 

I think my potential, and my learning are unlimited.

I can at any time change the course of my life by taking a decision.

I don’t have to know exactly what I want to do when I do an action.

That's when I fill my life with tools that I live my true life.

I am a source of change. I have this tremendous power to change by myself.

"When you live bereavement, there’s also the death of some of yourself-image."

 ------------------------------------------

  Life is play.

  ------------------------------------------

Failures are tools to grow up, improve myself as a human being. Failures thus became stages, not obstacles.

  ------------------------------------------

"People are better than their actions. Patients are better than their illnesses. "

  ------------------------------------------

The ceaseless monologue in my head is not the truth.

  ------------------------------------------

I dread the pain, but I'm not afraid of death.

  ------------------------------------------

"Can you stand in the middle of the false values ​​that attack you from all sides without losing your freedom or your common sense?"

  ------------------------------------------

 

I am uniqueness.

  ------------------------------------------

Success is the result of good judgment; good judgment is the result of experience; experience is, often, the result of misjudgment.

To prevent me from being beaten in the schoolyard one day, Mrs. Laurendeau, my 6th grade teacher, kept me with her in the classroom. I then cleaned the cupboards where I found a picture frame of Marguerite Bourgeois. Mrs. Laurendeau gave it to me. I kept this picture frame with me for years and years.

------------------------------------------

When I was a child, I learned that sex and money were “big sins,” and I had to be very careful not to "commit" them.

------------------------------------------

I’m sunset yellow, light of life and joy creator.
(Really??)

------------------------------------------

Not changing, secures me. My mold then remains unchanged, intact. I am safe, because nobody hurts me.

Changing = depression = failure.

I shared my bed, one evening, with my cousin J. who was on a visit. We spoke about the Universe, which was infinite.  J. told me that the Universe didn’t have either beginning or end. I incredibly panicked all night long and I couldn't sleep at all!

I was nine or ten.

(My inner secure design of the whole world collapsed. I felt like suddenly I didn’t have any grip on anything anymore.)
