I am Saray Buelvas, I was pregnant when I was16, I think maybe I fail because I let myself get entangled by toxic people in my life, which is not good and I felt like a fool in that deception; Today I have a very different thought, since I am a teenage mom. It has been hard sometimes more than anything because the huge responsibility and time it takes to share with my baby, I also failed for doing things so fast and I do not let time to live each stage of my life. It is very beautiful to be a mother because apart from all the things that you have to sacrifice, you have a little person who loves you, doesn’t matter what you do. In other hand, I was no busy, this inaction makes me fell into the mistake of many that are looking for love in the wrong person, but it does not matter because I already knew and met the great love of my life that is my son.
