mystery solved?--vanishing twins

Jan 07, 2011 10:25

Does Vanishing Twin Syndrome explain "the void," that inexplicable feeling that something is missing, that there is some unknown out there that you can never find?  Does being left-handed mean you originally were part of a mirrored pair, since there is no genetic marker for handedness (is that even true?)?  Or is it just a crutch for the myriad psychological problems of the overly-sensitive and high-strung?

I vividly recall one instance when I was small and thinking about existing/not existing in this world, with the distinct sense that there were other places, other planes, where one might exist, and sensing that I wasn't all here or there.  I remember being upset by that notion and then tried to wipe it from my mind because it was somehow too painful to even contemplate.

Watching Duncan, I think of that often.  Wishing I could understand more of what's going on inside that crazy brain of his.
