I am a person passionate about family and sports. I believe that life is a gift that passes as quickly as the interval between twilight and dawn. We close our eyes, and when we open them, we realize that it is already late and time has vanished. That is why making my life an infinite sum of moments of happiness gives meaning to this wonderful gift that is existence.
El mundo objetivo no es más que un reflejo de cualquier persona”
