With this end of the year coming under uncertain skies, I wanted to offer my last column of 2022 to you women, almost half of humanity useful and essential to a certain balance.
To you, gentlemen, may 2023 offer you even more chances to take care of us, to tell us how pretty, kind and sweet we are, to love us as we are and to embrace us with our multiplicities.
Women, I love you with all my heart, may 2023 be sweet and happy for you.
