La vida, cuando dura lo esperado, es lo suficientemente larga como para que todos nos enfrentemos a la soledad en un momento u otro. Y cuando no la deseas la soledad es tremendamente cruel.
¿Sabéis que la gente que está sola no lo está por gusto en la mayoría de los casos y que es muy difícil salir de ahí llegada una edad, no? ¿Sabéis que esa soledad puede generar problemas de salud mental jodidos, no? ¿Sabéis que no toda la gente sin pareja es mala gente ni está podrida, verdad?
