Do you feel like your soul is much older than the body it lives in? If so, you may just be an old soul. Here are 10 signs that suggest you're an old soul.

1. You find it hard to relate to people your age

A lot of the time, you may find it hard to relate to your peers who are the same age as you. Whether it be a difference in what kind of movies or music you like, or even what kind views you have on the world, a lot of the time you find yourself having a hard time finding similarities with those around you.

2. You don't mind being alone

You find a strong sense of peace and independence when you are alone and it doesn't really bother you to have time to yourself.

3. You are extremely empathetic

You feel a strong sense of empathy for others and can feel their pain deeply. It's very easy to walk in their shoes.

4. You think... A LOT!

Us old souls have a habit of over-analyzing every little thing and marinating in our thoughts. Sometimes it's good to have such profound thoughts but other times it's a bit overwhelming.

5. You love learning

As an old soul, you have an extremely open mind and crave to learn about everything you didn't know beforehand.

6. You find comfort in a certain time period

Whether it be a decade or an era, there's a certain time period that pulls you in and makes you feel like you are at home. Even though you have not lived through it, you somehow miss it and wish you can go back.

7. You easily get along with those older than you

Since at times it's hard to fit in with peers your age, it's so much easier to get along with those with more life experience than you.

Personally, I enjoy talking with people who are older than me. I find it much easier to relate to them.

8. You are spiritual

Old souls focus a lot on the soul and on the energy one emits. Material things don't hold importance to old souls. Intangible things, such as kindness and forgiveness, mean more than anything.

9. You are sensitive

Old souls tend to absorb the world around them and take everything close to heart. Something as simple as watching the news can impact them in a negative way.

10. You are creative

With all your deep thoughts, you find it very easy to express yourself through various forms of art. A lot of old souls find an escape through a certain form of art.

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.

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.
