Odi et Amo. The greatest asset we have is our individuality

Our greatest asset is our individuality.
Never flatten ourselves into so-called “normality”.

Odi et Amo. The greatest asset we have is our individuality

Odi et Amo
Odi et Amo. Those who read me usually sense the honesty and fairness of my work.

I am convinced that we must first express ourselves for ourselves.
This is the most important and right thing to do.

Sharing ideas, information, news and feelings is another act of opening up to others.
It is the will to expand that manifests itself in some form.

It is wonderfully human.
Those who read me usually sense the honesty and fairness of my work.

In the end, they recognize me as a familiar person.
It is not easy to write about very technical subjects.

Those who read me all their lives have really understood the purpose for which I write.

Over time, they usually become more and more interactive, spontaneously sending me interesting materials and documents.

Getting passionate about the line I have drawn and enriching this space with interesting content.

My lifestyle

My lifestyle has always been inspired by the principles I have applied in my professional and personal life :

To nurture my personal growth.
To be intellectually and emotionally open to the world.

Actively participate in whatever I choose to do.
Listen carefully in every situation.

Never ask direct questions, especially “why”, or use terms such as “you should”, “must”, “would be better,” or “should”.
Never judge or give direct advice.

Always use the present tense in the first person : subject/verb/object.
Try to engage others intensely and emotionally in discussions.

Share your own emotions.
Try to understand the feelings of others.

Look at the problems you encounter in life as opportunities for personal growth.
Always believe in natural evolution rather than the randomness of events.
To be happy about one’s own feelings and at the same time to be concerned about the feelings of others.

In short, they are the basic principles that drive our unconscious and, more generally, everything that affects us intimately.
Fears, emotions, inner blocks, feelings.

One should never be afraid of any adversity.
Whatever it may be.

The greatest asset we have is our individuality.
We must never flatten ourselves in the face of so-called “normality”.

We deny our origins and are forced to accept customs and traditions that do not belong to us.
A process of globalization that leads us more and more to be cannibalized.

But to go against our nature is to die.



I’ve been meaning to write this for a while.

So…

Life is a wonderful adventure.
However, it is necessary to face every situation with an open face, even the most unpleasant.

What is essential is always invisible to the eyes.
In fact, it can only be seen well with the heart.

I love stilettos.
However, I prefer to wear them as little as possible and walk barefoot.

I always follow the rules I set for myself without ever questioning them.
Except when it is necessary to break them.

I like to take the pebbles off my shoes right away.
Otherwise new hold-ups break and it’s always a shame.

Criticism is always more useful than compliments.
But they must be expressed with the right register and tone.

Sometimes I deal with topics that are not suitable for minors.
If you don’t like them, simply click the checkmark in the upper right corner.

I am a citizen of the world.
My deep roots do not depend on some “noble” ideal imposed by others.

In addition :

I am probably not a role model.
In any case, I think everyone finds their way in life sooner or later.
I found mine after a long journey.

I am non-political, non-partisan and apolitical.
This does not mean that I am a disinterested, frivolous and superficial person.

Anyone who claims to have the recipe to “cure” the world of its problems is, in my opinion, a charlatan or a puppet master.

When I get angry, I don’t start writing “fuck you“, “loser”, “jerk” in blogs I don’t like and want to criticize.

I have a very high sense of ethics and I respect laws.
However, I believe that anything that is legal can always be done.

I really need to read a lot of books, not necessarily challenging ones.
That is why my relocation is always a titanic task.

I have a pure heart that has no secret background.
In fact, everything I say never has a double meaning.

I do not identify myself with the prevailing thought.
I always express my personal opinion based solely on objective and non-ideological data.

I am not passionate about fashion (usually synonymous with stupid and superficial designer labels).
However, I like to communicate my state of mind through my clothes, my hairstyle, my shoes.

Oh, thank you !
