‘Half of A Whole’
By: Alero Ajems
~~~
She didn’t want to be manipulative anymore. She knew now why she had never quite found anyone attractive or mesmerizing enough to fall so hard for. To be one with. To become whole. To complete.
Some people, she realized were halves of a whole and when they met their other halves, they clicked and fitted perfectly, winding up in love and totally sure, they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with each other.
And…
Some others, she realised were just whole. Complete. One. They had no parts emptied or disintegrated and therefore only needed to find someone they could connect with. Share interests. Someone they could be with. It was never about completing each other. It was simply about living. Existing. Leading to immortality, these people she realised were very rare and most times never did quite understand themselves better enough to know what they needed and not what society expected from them.

‘But Jesus said “Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn’t for everyone. Some from birth seemingly never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked- or accepted. And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you’re capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it”…’
This verse is taken from Matthew 19:11-12, and the translation is fro The Message Bible.
