Ecco perché le anime anziane faticano a trovare il loro posto nel mondo

Queste persone sono vecchie nel cuore, nella mente e nell'anima. Vivono una vita di solitudine, spesso incompresi in qualsiasi cosa facciano perché sono più vecchi di quanto sembrino.

It is as if they’ve lived much longer than they already have. Anime antiche seguire la propria strada, mentre il resto della gente segue ciecamente le masse.

Immaginate di vedere centinaia di persone che vanno da una parte e un solo uomo che va dall'altra. Cerchereste di avvertirlo di venire dalla vostra parte.

You would try to talk him into joining you because who knows what awaits him/her at the end of the road. Even you don’t know what awaits you and the crowd at the end, but you feel safe walking along all those people in the same direction.

Old souls don’t care where all the others are going. They have their own way of seeing and comprehending things and that’s why they struggle to fit into the world they live in.

They are misunderstood because they don’t act like everybody else.

Sono unici.

1. Old souls’ families don’t understand them

They are born into families who don’t get them. Their families think they are a disgrace—black sheep. Old souls can only understand each other. That’s why they are strangers anywhere they go, even in their own homes.

Questo può essere molto complicato, perché attraversare gli anni della formazione senza il sostegno della famiglia può rovinare molto la loro vita.

2. Sono molto lenti

Non sono pigri e certamente non sono poco intelligenti. Semplicemente sanno di avere tutto il tempo del mondo. Non c'è nessun tipo di confusione o disordine nella loro vita. Fanno una cosa alla volta, senza stress o fretta.

They want to be sure they’ve lived every new experience to the fullest and in detail. They are acquiring new information and knowledge and storing it for the future.

3. Sono altamente empatici

They are reliving other people’s pain. They won’t be at peace if they know someone around them is suffering. It’s no wonder they don’t fit in this mondo crudele, senza cuore ed egoista.

They are healers and they will go an extra mile just to help someone in need. That is what makes their life’s purpose fulfilled.

4. Sono molto curiosi

Each new person they meet, they will bomb with questions whose answers they will safely store in their minds—new information, new experiences. They will never have enough of this.

Se mai incontrerete un'anima antica, you will find yourself talking about yourself, not knowing anything about the old soul hiding behind the person you’re talking to.

5. They can’t separate sex from emotions

They simply don’t care for just physical attraction. To them, emotions and raw attraction come in a package—together. They aren’t able to be just sexually attracted to someone if there’s no deep connection underneath.

They can have sex, but they won’t enjoy it and they will avoid it until they find someone who they think is worthy of their love and attention.

6. Sono indecisi

You may think they are slow or stupid, but you couldn’t be more wrong. You may think they don’t care about something you told them or asked them. You may think they aren’t listening to you— sbagliato!

They are very much aware of your presence and your words. God knows what goes around in their heads. They are thinking about a million other choices and a million other outcomes and that’s why it’s taking them so long to respond to you—to act.

7. Ci vuole tempo per innamorarsi

 

It’s not easy to find love se sei un'anima antica. I mean, it’s not easy for anybody, let alone for loners who are outcasts to the world.

They are attracted to the people who need their help. But to find the person to spend the rest of their lives with is a bit more complicated. It’s not if that person is also an old soul—but, what are the chances?

If you ever meet an old soul, don’t judge him/her.

It doesn’t mean they are less worthy if they don’t fit in.

Significa solo che sono diversi.
