J’ai un coeur en mousse | Maxime Grandjean | TEDxLaRochelle


[Applause]

I have a foam heart is a pretty

sentence to start a beeksma tea

but it’s true in addition to passersby

to their sweets I was born with a

cardiac malformation and two months

after my birth

I was opened my heart we repaired this

that was wrong and we just put a

little piece of foam without which I

will not be here to talk to you

today I am 22 years old and still

that’s only now that I have

realized the luck that I have

to be alive when I was little I

thought that because of this chorus in

foam I will not be able to feel

no emotion

except that it was just the opposite I

Feel too much emotion and

I had a constant need for them

Express

it was like breathing for me

did not bother

and against that it quickly brought me

to know their school education

because I was in opposition to the

mass that mass it’s played at the

law of the strongest and that the strongest

it’s the one who did not show his

emotions

so

I did everything to make it

stops I tried to maintain

conventional relationships with people

I arrived in the morning and I could just

say hello okay we like what course

today

and it would have stopped there I

could not because it was not me

that I arrived I said hello

I hope you’re fine but after I

can understand

I can understand that it’s hard to

express your emotions

but still what good ah and so

it has complicated things and I have everything

known this fear in every hallway

every classroom this constant noise

in your in your ears

this sensation that we speak in your

back that you judge every moment

I was balancing on the wire the

finest of the world

and when I discovered my sexuality

and who discovered them my sexuality

there was more balanced I could

no more dealing with people who

did not understand how I could

feel such emotions for them

I have a friend

it’s annie is called bilal and so if

you want to say hello

bilal

here and bilal every time I

see he makes me maxim you are beautiful maxim

I love you and salif and this to all

five minutes one every five minutes

I love you and I am fascinated

by his ability to express his

emotions and to say what he feels to

to go deep within him

this little thing and to express it

fully open is hard it’s

hard to do and you know what is

Well, we have places for that

has concert scenes we have our

social networks we jumped x here

today

and then we have the movie theaters

first time my parents told me

taken away I knew that I would like more

never leave again it was as if the

room speaks to me and she told me everything

okay here you can feel what you

want you can laugh you can cry

we are not here to judge anyone of

glass you’re just in the darkness of

the room with the light of the screen

step be ashamed you know why

because the people who are around

you are here for that too

maybe that’s why my

parents take me there for the first time

times I always had trouble

communicate my emotions and with

adolescence with all this violence

with all these

all these new questions on my

sexuality

I could not go east to and then

had the cinema with the cinema I

could talk to them that this is a movie

thirty years old that I had seen the day before

you from whoever was going out in

two weeks that I was waiting with

impatience

it was as if as if to arrive

to communicate my emotions with them I

went through the one we felt in

watching the movie and that it made a

bridge between us so when I

stopped my studies at 18 that I

been broken by schooling by any

this hatred that I had taken in the

mouth I could not communicate anymore

with people

I had expressed more to anyone

what I felt then I decided

to do the same with my parents I

decided to make my own movies for

to create a bridge with them I launched my

little youtube channel to my name because

that I am not someone very

original

so I’m going to call grandjean and

I started by doing some pretty

little videos I was filming gay pride

is pretty blue sky and people who

were watching these videos tell me wow

it’s beautiful what you do your life must

to be so happy

I was there and I said no

no I’m not well I’m filled

doubt of neurosis that never loses constant

the void of the band

so good to breathe I was hurting

I was in pain because I had been wearing

years of pain that I

could not get rid of it and

I needed to externalize them

so I decided to raise

start to really rebuild myself

I made some short videos on

bullying school and I have everything

let go I have all this violence this

hate this disgust we want to make you

feel

I have everything but I shared my

experience to others I got

released from a weight

after I released his videos a

former of my college came to me

talk and he told me you know I was

harassed I hurt you but it’s

why because I had the same

sexuality that you in opposition to the

mass and I do not want me to

strikes then I played the law of

the harder it is you that I hit

throw

ap ap a pleasure i was ready because

that I was scared you saw as

it’s vicious is seen as it is

vicious how violence is created

more is that here we told you

you were told that you were

spectators but also actor I would

make a call that is a test to

to pass a test that must pass I

would like to invite people to do like

me to become aware of fear and

to get up if people here have

been victims of school bullying

if the same black people get themselves

is because he did not want this

either they who are harassed would like

just that these people get up

six people get up it does not matter

but if people have been victims

school bullying

I invite them to get up here and

now I ‘m already going a person

who stood up another at the bottom

the company

thank you thank you to those who are the

[Applause]

live like it’s rhine getting up

as hard to express our emotions when

this person came to tell me his

history

I realized that me too

I was scared I still had this fear

to communicate my emotions to people

who are dear to me I decided to

change that I started since

some time a real job for

go more and more to the I have some

ideas by doing that to send a

message to those who wanted me

belittle you think I could

have no friends you think that

I was dead for everything you have

said think I’ll always be everything

alone

no I have my friends around me around

of my content

I managed to gather almost 9000

people I would obviously like

thank you all tonight and especially I

I’m alive I’m here

and there you could say ah that’s

that made him aware

that he was alive and has not yet

no no no no no no what made me

to become aware of this is that I

I did not stand up alone I got

not rebuilt alone I had my

close to me my friends my

family they were there they have

always been there and I never had the

force to thank them for that so

already I would like to do tonight

and then I would like to call you to

do something when you go out

of sata dicks you are going to call

someone who counts for you go him

send a message you will tell him

everything you feel to go

for him you’ll say everything that

I had in the heart of your little

heart to the mosses and you ‘re going to tell him

what you have ever managed to him

say how much you feel

deep in you I am 22 years old

and thanks to this foam heart since

all this time I can get up every

mornings and be with people who

count for me they are there they are

in my life and they make my life have them

by my side

that’s what made me take

aware of how lucky I am to be

living

[Applause]
