Mejicano

Depresivo

Introvertido

Dinos Sobre Tu Buena Acción:

I feel compassionate towards other people I don't even know and it helps me realize that we all carry our own cross, we all battle with our own demons and we are essentially all flawed human beings. There isn't a specific thing, but the build up of little things that I believe makes me a compassionate person. I learn to show empathy and keep in mind that sometimes, people do things out of anger, people mess up. There is already enough suffering in the world and showing someone just a little bit of love and compassion can go a long way.
