Are you wondering whether or not you're an old soul? Are you thinking it's not very "cool" to like dated fashion trends, aged items, or enjoy older traditions?

If you are thinking this way, don't!

Having an old soul is a wonderful thing. Embrace it. Love it. Be proud of it.

Not quite sure if you're an old soul, though? That's okay! Check out this handy dandy "old soul" checklist!

You're an old soul if...

1. You use words like "handy dandy."

And however.

2. Materialism isn't your thing.

You're simplistic.

3. You enjoy listening to music on mediums other than your iPhone.

Vinyl. Vinyl. Vinyl.

4. You are frequently convinced that you were born in the wrong generation.

Just a few years too late.

5. People have even said, "You were definitely born in the wrong generation."

RIGHT?!?

6. You have a Type-A personality.

Writing things down is the only way you'll learn and remember important information.

7. You'd rather be holding an old book, smelling its crinkled pages, then be reading texts off of a computer.

It's soothing.

8. You're aware of the world around you.

Very aware.

9. You enjoy fashion trends from previous decades.

High-waisted anything, long skirts, swing dresses, pleated sleeves, etc.

10. Literature and history are kind of your thing.

To you, they are fascinating.

11. You aren't a fan of the 21st-century music blaring from your stereo.

You enjoy old-timey tunes OR artists who have old-fashioned undertones and infections.

12. You believe in old-fashioned principles of love.

Yes, he should open the door for you.

13. You're an early bird.

Up by 7 or 8 am.

14. And you usually aren't up past 11 pm.

It's almost impossible to even be up that late.

15. Fast-paced life is a no go.

Of course, you're able to get things done and be pulled in 17 different directions if life calls for it, but you would much rather be in a calm state of mind.

16. You 100% trust your gut feelings. No matter what.

You always listen to it.

17. Or in other words, you're pretty introspective.

You're reflective.

18. You enjoy being alone sometimes.

Not all of the time, but sometimes.

19. You express high levels of empathy.

You're able to try and at least understand what someone is going through, even if you've never experienced it yourself.

And you wish more people had this capacity.

20. You're pretty eccentric but still traditional.

You're a little different than most people, but still have traditional values.

21. Nostalgia, to you, is very powerful.

You LOVE it.

If you made it through this list, it looks like you're an old soul!
