Spent two hours on the phone with my closest friend here in France!! I'm so happy to make a difference in people's lives. It lifts my self-esteem and makes me realize that, yes, I have value in this world and I'm here for a reason.

Regrets

I regret That our love was never born I wish I had known better That it takes two people And a lot of courage To forgive oneself and let go

You gave me a heavenly chance To explain and be together Yet I couldn't believe it How could I? Never had it happened Why then?

Why now?

Please forgive me

I've just finished creating the fourth song of my fourth album. I'm so pleased with the result because, as often, it didn't turn out the way I expected. At all.

I dedicate it to Anne Lefébure, I think it was her name. The mysterious girl from the icerink. We used to skate together every Sunday, in Franconville; it was a long time ago but my memories are still intact. Sometimes, I return there and everything feels familiar again, except for her absence.

Thank you for still being here.
