Old Soul… we have all heard it somewhere, sometime or other,
right? But what does it mean? An old soul can be described as someone who doesn't
fit in with mainstream things. They have their own way of doing things and seem
to be very wise. This seems very much like me but because there are so many
things that define “old soul” I've put together a list of some of the characteristics
of old souls…
Think deeply about things
You always seem to be thinking about things people your age shouldn’t
be thinking about. Life and death, peace and war e.c.t. Your mind is always wondering. You seem to be
in your little world.
Enjoy your own company
You could sit for hours in your own company. Whether
reading, listening to music or watching TV, you don’t need to have people
around you to enjoy yourself. You also don’t mind going to the movies on your
own.
Simple things in life that matter
You are not so worried about big extravagant things, for you
it’s the smaller things that count. Small gestures.
Memories more than possessions
For you it’s not all about worldly possessions. You value
time spent with family and friends. Going for a picnic or going to a theme park
and making memories.
Empathetic and Compassionate
No matter what has happened you will always show empathy for
everyone and everything. You can understand where people are coming from and
feel for them no matter what they are going through.
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Being an old soul you are emotional and don’t care what
others think about it. You cry in heart sore movies and even when you bump you
toe. You declare your love for the people you care about.
Value strong friendships
You value deep friendships with a few people than having
meaningless friendships with many people. Getting to know someone deeply is
what you want.
Born in the wrong generation
You constantly feel like you were born in the wrong
generation. Like you should have been born in the 20’s. You act older and can
understand when elderly people from that era talk.
Old things
You love how people from the older generations used to act.
From the 30’s, hand written letters and women being courted. The 60’s and 70’s,
being a hippy and not having a care in the world. Your soul yearns for that.
Easy to be around
People tend to gravitate towards you because of your nature.
You are caring and people love being in your company. You have no drama and
just go with the flow.
Don’t always fit in with people your age
Even though you might be in your 20’s you don’t always enjoy
what people your age like. You might like music from the 80’s or not want to go
out clubbing.
I look at the list and realize that for the most part I am
an old soul. I honestly do feel like I was born into the wrong generation. I
long to be a hippy, not caring about anything. Sleeping under the stars and going
to festivals. Being all loving and caring. But unfortunately I’m caged in this
body with an old soul wishing to be set free. Seems like that is the nature of a Pisces…
Do you have an old soul?
