I used to think that whenever you had problems in a relationship, it meant you two were not supposed to be together. That a relationship should be “problemless”.

For me, it doesn’t come naturally to think about myself first. By default, I’m thinking about what would please other people, although I know it should be the other way around. If I don’t pay enough attention, I lose myself in the process, and I feel frustrated and sad.

Since I gave birth to Ellie, I haven’t really got back to sports (I will back soon, though ^^). I still have some belly fat to lose and it doesn’t make me feel bad or anything. It’s there and I accept it.

So, first of all, I’d like to thank the people who bought my book.

When you have all the time in the world, what do you do?

I used to travel running after monuments to see, museums to visit, must-eat restaurants, … My expectations were so high that once I got to experience that stuff, I wouldn’t even feel satisfied. I would feel like “meh”. And let’s be honest, most of what I was doing was just to brag about it back home.

At 25, you think you’ve figured all out.

If you’re not 100% happy in your life, helping others won’t fill the gaps.

It doesn’t come naturally to embrace failure.
