From people who came through it

  • “Esto es para vos, que estás empezando. No te voy a mentir, es difícil. Pero también hay momentos buenos. No tenés que ser perfecto. Yo todavía estoy aprendiendo. Hablá con alguien, aunque sea por acá. No estás solo en esto, aunque a veces lo parezca. Un día a la vez, che.”
