WHY DO I WRITE?
why. do. I. write?
I don’t write to create perfect writing. My writing is and always will be perfectly imperfect. After all, it’s how life’s supposed to be.
I write to discover new words and their world. Any form, any length, sometimes in my mother tongue (French), sometimes in the language, I fell in love with when I fell in love with music (English — hope you’ll love my grammar mistakes 🙃).
I write to unveil my soul’s deepest shades. I write to express the unutterable, to be freed from its overwhelming impact. I write to find peace of mind. I write to be honest with myself.
I write to heal — and damn, it works.
I owe so much to these words.
Writing is my safe space. The space where I escape to unleash what needs to be unleashed. Through poetry and music.
we all need a safe secret space.
I always wanted to show my creations. I want to show them to help others. I want them to become short art experiences, part of a bigger world that offer a moment of inspiration. By showing the words that helped me find the path to a peaceful life, I’m fulfilling my lifelong dream of creating something that may help someone find theirs. Don’t expect cliché empowering words that will add more weight to the you-have-to-be-perfect pressure we all have on our plate. Expect words fearlessly digging their way to the roots of emotions. You got to face the truth to build from it.
I hope my words will help people escape, reflect on their inner needs and find the elements of their peaceful, safe space.
Creating this project has been the scariest thing to accomplish in my life. I mean, writing is a way to put your guts on the table.
Overcoming fears is what helps us find our safe space.

i write to make these words fall in love with each other then give birth to their stories — stories that might spark a light somewhere.
I always wanted to find a safe space to give my words a lovely, safe home.
I never thought I’d find it. I always saw nothing but barriers along the way.
until I discovered NFTs.
Writing has always been a secret space I never acknowledged I had — a space where I could enjoy the process of healing by creating. A space as magical as music is to me. A space where I could create a project that involves writing, music, and photography without pretension, only to find inner joy.
Something so intimate deserves to find a lovely home full of kindness, support, and tolerance…a safe place to preserve the inner one.
NFTs, offer us, creators, the chance to keep our creations safe while offering them to the world.
NFTs, offer us creators the chance to create out-of-the-box projects — projects that couldn’t care less about the industry’s boundaries, conventions, and expectations.
NFTs, offer us the chance to collect creations from around the world — creations that we surely wouldn’t have discovered if it wasn’t for NFTs.
But, most importantly, NFTs offer us inspiring communities.
NFTs communities embody the exact description of the safe, uplifting space I imagined. This lovely home where I could unveil what I write and offer you a part of this particular space for you to escape and find — maybe — your inspiration.
This project is my wish to inspire you to find a way to release the unspeakable, find your safe space, and maybe get involved in the project’s future.
I hope you’ll enjoy |wordstobepoerty|
Words truly,
