About Me

............ The more I live, the more it is clear to me that I want to dedicate my life to love. It is the only way out of suffering. Nothing feels better than to love people, animals, flowers, music, the earth, the sky... And yes, it all comes back to you.

My father died when I was 3. I suppose that's why I'm so obsessed with the idea of being alive and enjoying every second of this life. I want to live every day as if it was the last one, with no room for discontentment or regret. I want my friends to know that I love them, and would rather say it too much than take the risk of them not knowing the depth of my attachment to them. I have become a vegetarian thanks to my MySpace friend Robert. Love animals far too much to ever perceive them as food again!!! My purpose on this Earth is to become a better human being, and to bring as much joy as possible -this I do on a small level through my job: singing and dancing. And I want to wake up all those who are sleepwalking through life!...Here are a few of my many many faces... Don't think this is enough to even start knowing who I am...!!!

My Interests

Dancing, singing, composing, writing, reading, watching movies that inspire me (but don't have a TV, would rather spend time carefully choosing what I'm going to watch), walking, running, sipping tea, trying to play the piano (hope to find the time to learn), training with circus artists, have gone rock climbing a few times with my friend Alex and absolutely loved it, have started doing Kung Fu with my friend Lea and have fallen in love with this beautiful martial art, have started snowboarding with my friend Juliette this winter and want to go back NOW, enjoy clubbing with my friends or even alone, talking to strangers, trying to understand myself and stop getting angry when it just feels so good to love...At Juliette Dragon's Cabaret Pirate.

I AM THANKFUL

I've read several books lately which talk about the importance of being thankful. Of not just longing for what we don't have, but of appreciating what we do have. Sometimes I get so caught up with wan...

HOW DO YOU THINK?

I realized not long ago that when I'm thinking, I'm always talking to someone in my head: often to guys that I have a crush on, or to my friends, or to MySpacers (as if I were writing a bulletin)...

ADULT OR CHILD

My friend Julian came to my place. As he discovered my Land of Eternal Christmas, he wondered why I wanted to remain in childhood. It made me wonder. What is childhood?... What mak...

THE OTHER SIDE OF ME

It's funny.I don't like writing here whenever I'm in a bad mood, tired or melancholic. Because all I really wish to share on this page is love, beauty and happiness. But as some MySpacers might get to...

GAINING SELF CONFIDENCE

Singing was one of my dreams. But a few years ago, I didn't seem to have any particular talent for that. In fact, a producer once told my ex "Rachel certainly isn't La Callas!" This did not discourage...

BEING 35 IS WONDERFUL

Woaw!! Being 35 is wonderful! I wouldn't want to be 20 again. I have more energy now than I did at the time, and a clearer vision of where I'm headed and what I can actually achieve. Which is: I CAN A...
