Confession: I've always loved personality tests. Yes, yes, you read that right: personality test. But not the tests of the genre, which member of One Direction is your soul mate ? When I heard about this one on Instagram I immediately did some research to find it. And now I'm freaking out!

Do you know people who got lost? People who over time, the job, the mortgage, the routine, the children, … embarked on a life that didn't suit them or that they didn't like? It happened to me myself and around me, I see a lot of people who despite their good will, their good intentions, are exhausted and no longer pay attention to what they really believe in, what used to make them vibrate, because their priority has become to survive.
What are we running after? Time? Money? Accreditation? All of these answers maybe.
But, I think the right question to ask is why? What's the point of running, working and then buying things that save time, then running to pay for them, then buying others because you have less and less time, if the ultimate goal of life is to enjoy it, have fun and live well?
