“When you flow in the river of life, you don’t cling on to every shiny log in your way for too long – you go around it, you go over it. People aren’t logs – yeah, and the logs aren’t always shiny; let them go regardless. There are people…” (En savoir plus)

Tantalising
“Like jazz, I want people who move – with me and for me; who make noises – with me and for me; who talk to me after the show; who stick with me l’after after l’after ou, bien, laughter after laughter; who share their joint with me in the…” (En savoir plus)
Focused life
“Without trust, love will hide behind the clouds and keep me cold, revealing itself only on clear days, too blinding for me to look at. Without fierce loyalty to my true self, my growing and always-becoming self, I will always be imprisoned by other people’s versions of…” (En savoir plus)
Letting go
“My dreams, my passion, my forceful love for you need to rest. And if you are truly a reflection of myself, I’d like to stop chasing reflections and tackle the essence like a pro, that is from within. If you are truly a reflection of myself…” (En savoir plus)
Let’s do nothing!
“Joy is better than calm contentment, for sure, and I am often willing to do nothing to achieve it. When I do nothing, it is intentional – often more intentional than when my undiagnosed ADHD self does something, however overthinking I could be. When I do nothing…” (En savoir plus)
Precious perception
“So, anyone and anything outside of me is the problem? No, a problem isn’t a mismatch between what is and what you want it to be; a problem is a misalignment between what is and how good you feel about it…” (En savoir plus)

“A subtle kind of touch yet constant, which creates these capillary waves inside my heart, has happened; an interaction with the wind, the subtle yet constant wind, has happened. No splash as when a rock is thrown like a punch, which my heart was used to; this…” (En savoir plus)
My inner river
“Everything that brings, potentially or eventually, someone inward and closer to understanding themselves, and, eventually, understanding others, or vice versa, is good in my book. All that can flow with my river. In fact, I could probably soothe you for hours in these cases and I’d feel content…” (En savoir plus)
Familiar unknown
“I have been peeling the layers, shedding the skins a lot more aggressively these days and my discernment is a lot more on point too. Changes have been happening quicker and instead of seeing it as instability I can’t help but recognise it as momentums being gained…” (En savoir plus)
Open, always
“I’m sure you do. And I will always try to understand when you can’t show that you do. Come to think about it, my principles and philosophy are the things that often cause me a heartbreak. But might as well, as they’re also the very things that put me back together again…” (En savoir plus)
Softer
“I sometimes wonder how many can take you, the full depth and breadth of you, like I can. I sometimes wonder how many, if anyone, can take me, the full depth and breadth of me, my undeniable, demanding presence, like you can. I wonder if I can take anyone…” (En savoir plus)
Balance
“In fact, I’d love to learn to drop my ego even more, if that’s possible – that’s possible, and if that means more truths will be revealed and eventually accepted. My power is in my ability to stay soft in the face of difficulties. I care more about balance…” (En savoir plus)
