Aldebert, Childhood
I didn’t know this artist Aldebert until Mimi brought us a singing homework assignment in 6th grade. It’s “I’m afraid of the dark”. It is Teddy who takes care of having it revised. I like the chorus a lot, but I just have to sing “I’m afraid of the dark” with a depressing air ! I found it very hard to sing, it’s so wordy and catchy ! In the clip below, I discover the singer Elodie Frégé who accompanies Aldebert. I like the voice of this singer, I had watched the Star Academy show just to hear her sing. Song “J’ai peur du noir” (I’m afraid of the dark) The lyrics…

What orientation?
When I was a child, I wanted to be…. a beautiful person !I wanted to have the qualities of my parents, those of my brother and my sister. I idealized a few people and projected myself onto them, because I was convinced that I was uninteresting. I didn’t know what I wanted to do when I grew up. I didn’t like school, which I only attended because it was a compulsory course in order to find a “suitable” job other than working the land. This learning was not at all inspiring for me. Since I was little, I often heard my parents’ sermon: you had to work hard at school to…

Eat 2 – Des Morts et des Vivants (Of The Dead and the Living )
I really liked the first book of Gille Lartigot. That’s why I asked for volume 2 “Of the Dead and the Living – Chronicles of a Toxic Society. I find the title striking. It illustrates well the idea of a human being who is disconnected and distant from the fundamentals of life, and therefore cannot live it fully. I love the author’s tone which is not demoralizing despite the seriousness of the issues he raises. Every day I read a chapter. The content is easy to read with powerful words to give us food for thought and invites us to seek our own truth. Questions within reach of children, to…

Why write for yourself?
The beauty of your writing Writing has always fascinated me and I have gotten into the habit of applying myself when I write. At school, I loved looking at the writing of my little classmates, especially that of a left-handed Tahitian woman. This intrigued me a lot, I observed her for a long time: the way she positioned her notebook, held her pen, formed pretty little letters. I even tried writing with my left hand to try to “feel” what it feels like to be left-handed. Finding my signature was also something important for me, since it’s like a seal that you put on precious documents and as I’m a…

Treasure the inner child
Why treasure the child within you? 1 / Marvel at life! Do you remember things that fascinated or captivated you during your childhood? I always remember the great interest I had in little black ants when I was a child. I loved watching them and observing their well-organized and orderly life. This trait appeals to me because I like the order of things. I had much fun in disrupting that order in their daily lives. For example, I offered them sugar and honey to discover their preference and I can just imagine them believing it was a gift that fell from the sky. We must help them feast! They are…

What the photo says
We are used to talking about photography as an “art” with its aesthetics, with its rules, that only experienced artists can understand, apply, etc. I would like to talk to you about something completely different: what photography is for me and the way I found to practice it at my level. Photography, history and empathy Photos allow us to go back in time. They are windows that allow us to look into the past. This could be our past, that of strangers, or that of our loved ones. I really enjoyed looking through my parents’ photo album and my father’s military album. This allowed me to imagine their lives a…

Keeping a smile
People tell me that I have a very nice smile! It’s a compliment that means a lot to me, because smiling is something important to me. The Tahitian smile I have always felt “less” than others. I was a tomboy, childish, naive and reserved; I lacked a lot of self-confidence. The smile was a precious help for me to compensate for my silence and to hide my uneasiness. It allowed me to communicate when I didn’t dare to speak. I grew up in Tahiti, and Tahitians are so cheerful and spontaneous. There, everyone is on first-name terms. Warm, welcoming and smiling, they live intensely in the moment! Tahitians have a…

The 100 day challenge
Do you know the Lilou Macé 100-day challenge? The principle is simple: you set goals you would like to achieve, you decide on a date to start the challenge, and you commit to doing your best to achieve them for the next 100 days! December 18, 2015 was the date I started my first 100 day challenge. I had been struggling for two years with difficult challenges, and I really couldn’t take it anymore. They didn’t fit my choices and were unfairly imposed on me. I got stuck in negative resentments, my heart filled with explosive emotions. How to get out of this was out of the question for me,…
