These are the lonely onlies. One half of a perfectly matched pair of earrings. Their partner is no longer there with them. Lost somewhere, somehow. By themselves they appear intact, whole. But without their mate, they are wholly incomplete. Aren’t we - many of us atleast - like these earrings ? We need a partner - a soulmate to make us feel whole. A soulmate - our twin soul - whose presence completes us and whose absence makes us feel like we have lost a part of ourselves. A romantic partner, a best friend maybe, or a sibling. That perfect pairing took years in the making. A quirk got added here, a habit formed there, till we ended up as perfectly matched. Our identity tied to being one half of a pair. Losing our other half then alters us too, permanently. We are then perennially destined to be the lonely onlies- the one half that got left behind. Holding on to memories of another time..and wishing for a past that can never return.

The Lonely Onlies
These are the lonely onlies. One half of a perfectly matched pair of earrings. Their partner is no longer there with them. Lost somewhere, somehow. By themselves they appear intact, whole. But without their mate, they are wholly incomplete. Aren’t we - many of us atleast - like these earrings ? We need a partner - a soulmate to make us feel whole. A soulmate - our twin soul - whose presence completes us and whose absence makes us feel like we have lost a part of ourselves. A romantic partner, a best friend maybe, or a sibling. That perfect pairing took years in the making. A quirk got added here, a habit formed there, till we ended up as perfectly matched. Our identity tied to being one half of a pair. Losing our other half then alters us too, permanently. We are then perennially destined to be the lonely onlies- the one half that got left behind. Holding on to memories of another time..and wishing for a past that can never return.
