I've been watching BBC's Sherlock. I love the modern day detective. I replay the series when I need a little power up. I am thrilled with the chase for answers.

I've also read the Sherlock stories. You just can't go wrong with Sherlock. But one thing that I've realized with all the stories is that I am not attracted solely with his genius. I found that even geniuses are mortal. 

Sherlock maybe the solitary type but you can see that he wants companionship too. Why else would Watson be welcomed warmly. He could have any other sidekick. He could even have multiple sidekicks, disposable ones. Those who could hold a gun, land a good punch, act on his behalf...

Sherlock would call him plain and slow and Watson would retaliate. They are sometimes a whacked pair. Their relationship is not definite or ever really mentioned. IT JUST EXISTS.

I just goes to show that even if you tell yourself that you are alone, that you are not and will never be dependent on others, time will come that you too will find that Watson.

We can name them "soul-mates." I'm not referring to only love interests, or BFFFs or those sort of things. They will simply be that person whom you would gladly let into your life and will fill whatever empty space that you think is not there.

Weird? Yes. True? Yes again. Want to disagree? Alright. But when it happens... ;)
