Cuando encontr\u00e9 la paz dentro de m\u00ed, descubr\u00ed que hab\u00eda desarrollado un abrumador sentido de amor por todos los que me rodeaban. A veces, los j\u00f3venes tambi\u00e9n pasan por cosas dif\u00edciles. No todo el mundo espera hasta la edad adulta para tener pruebas que cambian la vida y hacen temblar la fe. \u00bfC\u00f3mo podr\u00eda pensar cosas malas de alguien que no conozco en absoluto? No era agradable en mi punto m\u00e1s bajo, pero a\u00fan necesitaba amor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Termina con la afirmaci\u00f3n esperanzada:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Una vez que lo hab\u00eda aceptado dentro de m\u00ed, los problemas de autoestima se desvanecieron.
