When you’re hungry, no bread is too hard to eat?

In this world all you need is people to give you a chance.

Talking reminds me that no matter how difficult my life is, I have always found a solution to my problems. When I think about this, I am not afraid. We can do this. I can do it. Write this down: Cara Romero is still here, entera.
