Quirkyalone

Rilke is right. Being quirkyalone can be difficult. Everyone else is part of a couple!

Cagen wrote a short essay about her experience as a “quirkyalone”, and before she knew it, the term was taken up as a badge of pride by thousands.

Other groups emphasize the importance of adult care networks rather than critiquing marriage. Quirkyalones and urban tribalists hold ideals of sociability that reach beyond an isolated dyad.

The quirkyalone has come to appreciate singledom as a natural state and a way to live a fulfilling life.
