Love is a training

Wise words, exciting training and a Genie.

👋 Hello enthusiast,

Alain de Botton is one of my favourite philosophers, he re-introduced me to philosophy in a playful and engaging way. In his book ‘‘The Course of love’’, he shares a non-Romantic love story hacking the common belief we have been brainwashed with.

Key takeaways:

• Lovers should train and teach each other with kindness and openness.

• Starting point knowing who you are, aiding your partner in discovering your weaknesses and leveraging them as strengths, for a growing duo.

• We are all crazy, let’s admit it and move on from there.

• Your partner is not supposed to complete you, he/she will not fill a void that is there. He/she may aid you to become a better version of yourself and vice versa: and that is building teamwork.

I personally believe in a joyfully in love and learning couple, creating routines to keep the feel alive daily.

That book

Romantisme: Infatuations

‘‘A marriage doesn’t begin with a proposal or even an initial meeting. It begins far earlier, when the idea of love is born, and more specifically the dream of a soulmate’’.

Pépites music _ This album is a diamond

Exclusive share: I loved the album by Hayden Thorpe so much that one song inspired me to create a series of illustrations. The lyrics speak to another level, so deep and spot-on about our inner truth and encounter.

That movie

Vintage vibe, jazz and romance challenged by life events. A beautiful movie celebrating the spark of desire to ‘‘love’’. The starring pair are superb, so stylish and full of chemistry: ‘‘Black love’’ is portrayed in a beautiful way!

That painting

The Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood will always be my art movement of heart and dare. I have been obsessed with the pilgrim creators of the movement for years, they sparked quite surprising conversations and people on my path. One day I will craft a project as a tribute to them. Wow, if you don’t know them, please investigate a little.
