The movie Gravity gave me an overwhelming sense of what it means to be alone—that is solitude on a grand scale.

There is a solitude worth seeking. Alone with our thoughts, and yet not truly alone... Afterwards ironically, we get along better, together!

?Solitude? vídeo de la música enter image description here

Hay una soledad que vale la pena buscar. Solo con nuestros pensamientos y sin embargo no verdaderamente... ¡Después irónicamente, nos llevamos mejor, juntos!

A veces cuando tengo que tratar con demasiadas personas, la única cosa que quiero es un momento de soledad, pero cuando la soledad dura demasiado, sí, siempre quiero interactuar con gente de nuevo.

Sometimes when I have to deal with too many people, I the only thing I want is a moment of solitude, but when the solitude lasts too long, yes, I want to interact with people again.

Whenever I begin to despair of my solitude, my loving son comes along and comforts me like no one else can.

Siempre que comienzo a desesperar de mi soledad mi hijo cariñoso viene a mí y me consuela como ningún otro puede.

Pablo eso no parece bien, hay algún "typo"? Hablo de la corrección. "Se adueño" Me parece que Chanta lo puso bien, ¿Estoy equivocada? - Daniela2041, Dec 21, 2015
yes my correction was only for the pronoun 'se', fortunately she realized and kept it in past tense jejej - Pablo064, Dec 21, 2015
Gracias, Daniela, por darme ayuda adiciona. Estoy feliz recibir amable atención de varias personas. - chantaneeyip, Dec 21, 2015
