I grew up in Bastère, part of my childhood. I was born in Saint-Claude, at the foot of the volcano, La Soufrière.
For those who don't know, Saint-Claude is the last commune before arriving at the volcano, La Soufrière.
I grew up in the pure air of the mountain. I went to collect mangoes, I made flying birds, I bathed them in the river.
A very normal childhood. Nothing special, except that when I woke up in the morning, I was just happy to wake up by the mangoes.
We often come to these moments in memory, where we would do competitions between brothers and sisters, of those who would have the most beautiful mango.
That reminds me of that.
The values that my parents gave me, they are simple values.
To say hello to people, to be recognized, and especially to say hello to big people.
Because when we are small, we always tend to not want to go to older people.
We are afraid of older people when we are children, because we are often afraid of people who will eat us, if we don't say hello.
Of course, we don't want to say hello because we don't want to be eaten, so we're not going to see them.
And then we have to say hello.
I remember stories like that, anecdotes where my father took me once with his friends, and then there was an old lady who said to me,
you tell me hello, I'm going to eat you. So I don't know if I had to say hello or not.
Finally, I said hello, finally, she didn't eat me.
It's true that after growing up, we get used to saying hello spontaneously.
So that's what my parents, me and someone else's respect.
To say hello to people, to say thank you when you give us something.
