A couple of years ago, Utne Magazine ran an article on “Quirky Alones”: a brave breed of single people who resist the tyranny of coupledom in favor of independent self-expression. The article’s writer, Sasha Cagen, started something with this idea, and an article in this month’s San Francisco Gate follows up on her and her concept today.
Here is Sasha’s definition of a Quirky Alone. it’s different than being a loner, which is someone who really doesn’t have many friends. A Quirky Alone has lots of friends and is very social, but prefers their own space and free time. Think you might be a Quirkly Alone? I probably am, I guess.
