you don't give the impression of being french native ... your english is too good hahah ... la vie ca tape dur sur le cerveau parfois mais je me debrouille ...
like my grandfather who survived two world wars and a nazi labour camp used to say "if i gave up and just went down then i would have been dead " so giving up is only an option when life chooses to do so, a day that will inevitably come ... no use worrying about that lol

i think its great if you can run on neo-worldly means AND see part of the old world (or whats left of it) too . If i had jealousy in me i'd probably be it right now ;-)
