🕊️ My past
My name is Julie Dahirel, And for a long time, I tried to understand who I was, beyond roles, expectations and trials.
When I was 13, my life was turned upside down: I lost my mom to suicide.
His sudden departure left a huge void, but I made myself a promise - never to stop living, to seek the light, even in the storms.
For years, I moved forward as best I could. I fought against myself, I had this lack of self-confidence (which I still have), anger, grief and I had to rebuild myself step by step.
Le déclic, 28 avril 2025, le jour de mon anniversaire et 22 ans plus tard, on dispersait enfin les cendres de ma maman en mer, comme elle l’avait toujours voulu. Le même jour je perdais mon compagnon à 4 pattes, mon chat « Black »… C’était peut être un signe, j’ai compris que c’était une page du passé qui se tournait et que ce que je cherchais se trouvait devant moi.
It was from this inner journey that Mon Carnet d'Âme.
📒 The Story of the Notebook
Mon Carnet d'Âme, is much more than just a notebook.
It's a companion, a guide, a space for expression for all those who want to reconnect with themselves.
It was born of a deep-seated need to put words, colors and images to emotions, to give form to what lives inside.
Page after page, he invites us to remember, to lay down, to pick up the pieces, to love one another.
We write, we glue, we dream.
It's a place of self-discovery and liberation.
It's a notebook for finding yourself, healing yourself, thanking yourself, and projecting yourself.
Each page has been designed with love, sweetness and meaning - as a small step towards yourself.
It's a non-judgmental notebook that welcomes everything.
It invites you to honor your past, embrace your present and dream your future.
🗓️Et today
Through this project, I wanted to transform pain into creation, absence into transmission, and memory into light.
Mon Carnet d'Âme is a tribute to my mom, but also to all those who need to find the thread of their own history.
I dream that this notebook will travel, that it will accompany other souls, that it will become a tool for reconstruction and gentleness.
Because finding yourself sometimes simply means turning a page... towards oneself.
