Artist´s life... Life of what? I´m not sure I did understand...

Well, when I was told I had to land on Earth, I was completely excited about discovering the life. In fact, it didn´t take me long to leave the little belly of my tender mom. I was so in a hurry to see the light that I jumped in her gynecologist´s arms! But in my contract with the life they didn´t highlight with a marker the difficulty that each morning would generate... Seems normal, at that time I was not able te read. In consequence I signed blindingly, so extremely curious to know the life, my life... But, bitch of a life, why didn´t you create me like others????? I, an artist??? What´s this? So when they gave me the chance to write about it, I have preferred to draw it, to sing it, to feel it. Making curves and lines of it became my first drafts. Watch it eternally through this innocent look from the first days and keep this adolescent ardour. And this is the reason why I couldn´t remain on school benches, where apparently, words seem to be more important on paper for the exams than my first rough sketches. Right! I can easily understand that the drawing isn´t the appropriate way to describe Beaudelaire´s life, Voltaire´s work or Pythagore´s thoeries. I conclude that being misunderstood during classes, I would probably be more solicited in my creative path during the hooky play. I didn´t want to set up a rebellion against the school system. However I didn´t find my place there, but obviously that of a permanent boredom expressed by morning´s clandestine naps on lesson backgrounds or that of my permanent expulsions for regarnishment of these lessons with the help of a bic pen. Fortunately the support of some teachers, that I was apparently diverting a lot, permitted to find a certain light in me to succeed my Geneva Calvinist´s years without too much problems: « not really mean, this young scared girl is just living on another planet. » ,-) Then, the life became quickly a swirl of colors, emotions, laughs, teardrops, loudmouths, deceptions: but that´s on what we, the life and I, had agreed: TO LIVE ROCK´N ROLL 24/24!!! Meet exceptionnal beings during my whole path that succeeded to make me grow fast fast fast!Vibrate at light´s speed, travel from one artistic universe to another, share strong sensations, create its own Paradise on Earth! Dear Life, at the beginning I held against you for not having made me like others, for having planned a so difficult path for a so fragile girl... Today I still have hard times but I´m loving it and I thank you! You are my favourite delicacy and I´m so greedy for you that I´m not going to stop myself on a so good track! Let´s hope it lasts!
