¿Por qué dicen que alguien ha rehecho su vida por el simple hecho de encontrar pareja? ¿Es que si no tienes pareja y eliges estar a tus anchas disfrutando la soltería, tu vida está deshecha, o incompleta?

I have a friend. A secret friend I met ten years ago in May. We live extremely far but to this day we remain in close touch. Through him, I learned a lot about myself and I grew wings, loosened the grip, lost many fears that tied me down and started my journey of self-discovery. […]
