“Para el que empieza: no te voy a decir que es fácil. La calle es dura, la gente desconfía. Pero hay que buscarle. Yo encontré trabajo con mi hermano, y un taller de redes. No es lo mismo, pero es algo. Habla con alguien, no te guardes todo. Y busca una cosa pequeña que te guste, como mis rosas. Eso te sostiene.”
