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.

To Life, To Death, To Our Ancestors

The fear of doing better, the fear of being happier, the fear of having it all—these are fears that can weigh heavily on us. “It’s too good to be true,” we tell ourselves, or we look back at our ancestors' struggles and think, “How can I deserve more when they had so little?”

Divorce & Separation

My mom used to say all the time, that Love was looking towards the same direction. I love that, and couldn't agree more. You may look towards the same direction for a few weeks, months or years. At some point, that road can split. And if it does, is it a failure? No, it just means that in your relationship, you were allowed to grow. It’s always a risk to take, to grow together or separately, but if you can continue to want the best for that person, you can still love them, just differently. That is honoring your relationships and your growth.

stuck

Sometimes the idea of being stuck [aka not moving on] can paralyze you more than the reality of being stuck.
