“And I was emotionally carried away and I did not heal before jumping into another relationship. I thought was going be heal by going into another relationship but then I realized I don’t love myself and I want people around to love me.

“I wasn’t focusing on things that matter but on things do not really matter. I always choose people before me. I think I didn’t love myself. I was losing touch with things that used to work for me because I was involved in negative habits like drugs, smoking, cocaine and all this things are very bad.

“Cocaine is very bad. It gives you negative energy. And sometimes, even when I do something very positive, it will just end up being negative so I had to stop.”
