From the desk of Marine Sélénée

Sparks of Inspiration

From a very young age, Marine has always had a little notebook by her side, either on her desk, nightstand, or in her bag. That little pinkish notebook with a cute, heart lock has evolved over the years, but her passion for writing and sharing her thoughts with openness and authenticity remains the same.

being at peace

As far as I can remember I’ve never been at peace. I’ve always loved the passion, the fight, the scream, the violence. For me it was a way of feeling alive. It was a way of escaping the numbness, the trauma, and not letting the darkness win. It's an exhausting way to live.

the door

Why do we waste so much energy and time on something that obviously is not for us at the moment? Why do we constantly try to force things? Why don’t we surrender and trust more?

in the name of love

The more you recognize your pain, the more you talk about what happened to you, the less risk there is to repeat the same situation. The same situation will trigger your repressed feelings and unspoken words, that’s all. Take full responsibility, share your story, acknowledge your pain so no family members from future generations will have to do it.
