A song I like

She is a french Singer songwrither  who mixes jazzy styles  and some french variety, she is most known for this hit.

I like this song because it makes me  happy, the rhythm it's fast like a trot and the way she sings express a lot of feeling she seems so happy and natural that makes me want to sing to, also i like the lyrics of the song where she talks about that  she prefers the love, hapiness, and the good mood before the money, that she’s tired of the appearances, just want to be free of all, fresh and happy, it’s a cute song and i really like it.

It’s a contagious song  and i hope you like it  :)

Expressing Opinions

My opinion about...

Same sex relation ships
I agree with this kind of relation ships, personally i think that everyone is free to choose the person they want to be with, it doesn't matter the sex of that person, it doesn't matter what the society or nature or religion says, for me, love it's to everyone and it shouldn't be a kind of racist on that.

A 100% vegetarian diet
I agree, actually I'm vegan and i'm really happy with the diet i have now, it's healthy and it doesn't bring animal suffering, maybe a lot of people and the society will say that you can't live without meet but that's not true, that's a cultural prejudice, in the time i been vegan i really feel good with myself so in this topic i'm completely agree with (:

Tattos and piercing
I dont mind really, personally i like tattos and pircings,  i believe that it's a decision up to itself
you are the one who can choose what to do with your body, so if someone want to do it, it's fine and if another person doesn't want it's fine too.

Having exotic pets
im not totally agree with this because i think that animals belongs to they natural habitat, and we shouldn't take them out of there, but that's a fact and we take them out so if someone have one it's okay as long as that person take the responsability of have a good care of that animal and look after during the animal's life, the person can't throw away that animal, has to take care, that's what i think.

Racist people
I completaly disagree with this people, for me the racism it shouldn't even exist because i think  we all have the same rights, no one is less than me and i'm not more than anyone, we are all the same, so i don't like the racism so  i don't share the same opinion with a racist person.
