Being like a child is what makes you such a good artist.....keep creating,
Matthieu! Most of us are round pegs trying to fit into square holes.....

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."
-Walter Bagehot

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the
choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape
ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make
are ultimately our own responsibility."-----Eleanor Roosevelt

"Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are
dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do
it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many
tomorrows.

-Michael Landon

unsubscribing from puptcrit because of me and my taking it "public". What's
wrong with that, if I removed any clue of gender and name? The text was all
in red, which I interpret (perhaps falsely) as being un-related to
christmas, despite the "happy Hollidays" finish line.

to understand, see what I had done wrong.
