An “Old Soul” is a young person whose interests, hobbies, and traits surpass the years they have spent on this earth. They crave deep connections and their deepest connection lies with the “old-fashioned.”

Where old souls are the deepest and most passionate type of person, they are usually also the most misunderstood. Here are 11 things that’ll break down the misconceptions of Old Souls.

1. Most of us are introverted because we have to pursue our interests independently.

t

It’s part of that-thing-that-makes-us-unique.

2. Sometimes we’ll say the same phrases your grandparents use(d).

Really, “groovy” is just another way to say “cool," which makes talking to adults a piece of cake.

3. We’d much rather see a Van Halen cover band then go to the Justin Bieber concert with you.

They also probably believe that most of today’s music is garbage.

4. “Snow White” is just as cool as “Frozen”.

Catch my drift?

5. Texting is probably the WORST way to communicate with us.

Call me on the phone. Better yet, show up at my front door so we can talk in person!

6. "Dad rock” is just “rock” to us.

If I’m no one’s dad, “dad rock” isn’t a thing.

7. At least one of our favorite movies is in black and white.

...and ALL of their favorite movies are from the 20th century.

8. We’re not the best vacation buddy if you’re the type of person who likes to relax.

Don’t get me wrong, I love lying on the beach as much as the next guy, but I’d much rather go explore the local coffee shops or visit historical sites!

9. We hold a very romantic view of relationships and the world.

This is both good and bad because situations either end in a happily-ever-after or a disappointment.

10. If they don’t already own a record player or Polaroid camera, you’d best believe they want one very badly.

Records just sound better and Polaroids just look cooler. Every Old Soul can attest to this.

11. We’re unconventional. Deal with it.

If we were normal, we’d suck.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
