I've had certain people in my life comment on how they were old souls and I was a young soul. And they try to tell me that that can be a good thing because young souls have enthusiasm and energy for life, but really I know that people have a connotation of old soul as wiser and young soul as --- well, not so wise.
But really, how many times have we seen young people who think they are wiser than older people. If you are not so wise, it is easy for you to think you know more than you actually do and so you may think you know enough to be considered an old soul, whereas perhaps a true old soul knows he's foolish, doesn't take things as seriously and therefore comes across as young.
frustrated,
as an afterthought - how is it that some people, even my own boyfriends think i am a young soul, whereas others think i am an old soul?
silly people who think they know enough to know what it really means to be old or young
maybe i'm a transcendental soul = one that appears young but is actually old, or one who lived through it all to become the child again
on a different thought.. why do I always find maintaining friendships to be too much for me? what kind of freakishness is that.. it only makes me lonely when i have the example of others with longtime deep friendships, especially of the opposite sex.. and don't those kinds get hazy and confusing in the Harry Met Sally Way.. especially if you've at one point in your life been romantic with them? how easy is it then to maintain an email, long distance, letter, phone call conversation with them that can often be romanticized, idealized and turned into a sort of fantasy sanctuary or image of future bliss to keep you going or escaping when your own very real relationship is needing the kind of care a gardener gives his flowers
