Margarita

I gave birth to a little boy.
I gave birth when I was 17.
I gave birth to a child with autism.
I gave birth to a child who saved me.
I gave birth to my existence of love.

Sophia

Learned to love myself, therefore love and truly understand people.

Let go of fear and became more adventurous and joyful.

Experienced the thrill of being around loving people in other countries.

Felt the crashing waves of the open ocean and loved it.

Watched the world from above.
