Hallo! Je me considère loin d’être poète ou écrivaine, mais durant mes expériences de vie, j’ai trouvé inspiration d’écrire mes sentiments sur papier … parfois je suis inspirée à écrire en français, et parfois en anglais. Parfois je vais traduire, parfois non. C’est pourquoi vous ne retrouverez pas toujours tous dans les deux langues. Mon but n’est pas d’offusquer personne. J’écris pour moi. Si vous aimez ça, tant mieux! Je ne cache rien, c’est juste moi.
Merci de votre visite. Vous êtes la bienvenue de m’écrire un p’tit mot!
Hi! I am far from considering myself as a writer or poet, but through my life experiences, I have find inspiration in writing my feelings on paper. Sometimes I write in English, sometimes in French. Sometimes I translate, sometimes I don’t. Hence why sometimes it’s only French, sometimes only English. It is not meant to offend anybody. It is simply what it is. I write for me. If you enjoy reading, great. I am simply being me.
Thanks for having a peak. Write me a little note if you feel like it! 🙂
