"Old souls feel more deeply, suffer more nearly, see more clearly and love more freely. My heart is a thousand years old, I am not like others."

1. You're aware of the effect you have on the world around you.

2. You have high expectations from everyone you meet. This means you don't waste time trying to get people to like you; you know who you want, and don't want, in your life.

3. You have extremely close relationships with older people in your life. Grandparents, coworkers, teachers, family friends, they're all able to connect with you.

4. Socializing is great and all, but sleep and time to yourself is cherished. Calm, quiet, alone time is a must.

5. Your ego is irrelevant to your life; giving back is more your style. You think about others way more than yourself, but this is what you want.

6. You know who you are and what you want. Many young people only think about day to day but, no -- you're a planner, and the future is vividly pictured.

7. You understand the importance of family. Your family is your first priority, they mean the most.

8. You're most likely the "mom" of the group that people come to for advice or comfort.

9. Communication is something you are great at and fond of, it's how you show your love.

10. In every aspect of your life you strive to see the good in the world, negativity is very off-putting.

Being an old soul with a young heart is a rare and beautiful combination. Don't hide the fact the you are unique. Many 20-somethings fail to grasp the greater picture, and what really makes life worth living. The old souls of this world already have it figured out.
