So many times I invited love in my life and when it knocked at my door, I opened and found myself looking around to see if it wouldn’t be accompanied by another guest… I realize that the thing I was really looking for was comfort, not love. Same thing with friendship or art or anything! When they knocked at my door as a surprise or as I invited them myself, I didn’t let them come in unless they came with comfort… which they rarely did. Why??? Comfort usually comes with another type of guest such as compromise or illusion. I think now that it is much more simple and true to welcome the pure feelings and life experiences as they are without trying to manipulate them, twisting them to fit my own vision or way to do things. I need to allow love, friendship, faith and all of these wonderful guests to shock me, surprise me, stupefy me, and to leave me speechless, helpless, breathless…

My dear brother, my sweet sister…

Can I invite you on a journey?

It is an invitation I received to look at myself in a mirror called “Where Did We Lose Each Other”… This song really talks about my life, it reflects my losses, it screams my hopes and it enlightens my crossroads. Since the first day I read these words, I knew they were a mirror that I had the option to look into for real or turn my eyes away in denial. Just like it has been said in one of the videos of the special project page, either we decide to face reality or slowly we become the reflection of something else, far from being alive and far from being our true self…just a pale reflection of our illusions.

Where Did We Lose Each Other
Where can I find myself…

Blogging has been a part of my life for more than 4 years now. I’ve been through all kinds of periods, emotions and I believe my writing has evolved, mutated and enabled my growth. I kinda think though that now is time for me to push myself beyond the established borders of this written world of mine.

Do you know one of the ways you can recognize that you truly love someone? I know I love someone when the only thought or the simple view of that person being happy is making me happy and smile, even if the source of happiness has nothing to do with me and even if that person doesn’t even know I thought or saw him/her…

Hey my dear family, my friends, my inspiration…

If only you were a little bat sneaking in the studio, the YFE HQ, the La Fabrik t-shirt making area and our Atelier where my partner and I are crafting jewelry, you would FLIP OUT to see everything that is going on, boiling and ready to explode, emerging from dedicated labour and a passionate will to build bridges to unite all of us together. Every day, I’m just so amazed at what I see blooming in front of my eyes…
