I believe I can do it. There is no memory that can be forgotten, there is not that kind of memory. Always in my heart.

Growing up I never had a perfume. I was like oh, one day when I'm grownup and have money I'm going to wear perfume. I had one perfume and I would save it for really, really, really special occasions.

Now when I have nice stuff I don't save it anymore, I try to use it.
