EU PRECISO FAZER UMA CONFISSÃO: nunca foi fácil ser eu. Você pode até pensar, com um quê de impaciência e uma boa dose de deboche (e já digo logo que entendo super, tá?): "Ah! Ser loira, popular, bonita, rica e invejada é realmente péssimo! Ter tudo o que deseja e ainda ser o crush de dez entre dez garotos é, com toda certeza, um martírio... Viajar para o exterior duas vezes por ano e ficar nos melhores hotéis é, sem sombra de dúvida, uma coisa pavorosa. Ó-meu-Deus--coi-ta-di-nha!" Já disse, eu entendo que você pense assim.
