9 Signs You Have An Old Soul

There's no shame in it.

9 Signs You Have An Old Soul

I know I'm not the only one who wishes they could take a break from the 21st century sometimes; take a trip back in time to see how things worked a few decades back and see how much simpler the times were. In today's fast-paced world, us old-soulers have to stick together. Don't know if you are one? No worries, here's 9 signs you may have an old soul too [& there is absolutely no shame in that whatsoever].

1. You Watch HGTV Likes It's Going Out Of Style

It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, your TV is constantly on HGTV. You know that Chip & Jo are your spirit animals, the Property Brothers basically have a monopoly on the channel, and you know that Hillary and David argue way too much for their show to actually be enjoyable.

2. Antiquing Excites You

Going antiquing on the weekends gets you so excited. No, you may not have the money to buy everything since antiques run pretty pricey, but that doesn't take the exhilaration out of it or stop you from envisioning how you're going to decorate your future house one day... or reliving what it used to be like in the olden days.


3. Let's Not Forget About Flea Markets

Flea markets are actually God's gift to this earth. Take a day and go rummage through a flea market and I promise you that you won't be disappointed with what you find. It's antiquing at less than half the price.

4. You'd Rather Curl Up On A Porch With A Good Book


Yeah, going out with friends is fun and all; and yeah, TV shows are nice to watch and all, but nothing really beats curling up at night on the porch to read a good book.

5. Turning Old Things To New Gives You Joy

Here's a secret: go to a flea market. Seriously, you'll find so many old pieces of furniture that just need to be spruced up and refinished a little bit. And for old-soulers, the result basically has you feeling like a proud mom wanting to show off their child.


6. Spending Time With Family Makes You Happy

You know how nothing makes grandparents happier than having their whole family together under one roof? Yeah, you don't actually have to be a grandparent for that to make you happy.


7. You Constantly Wish You Lived In A Different Decade

It's a daily occurance that you find yourself wishing you lived in the past. Not your own past, but decades back in the past, just for your own curiosity.

8. Simple Things Like Gardening Make Your Soul Happy

Don't worry about the jokes that other people have for you when it comes to 'being a grandma' and gardening... because you're ahead of the game and found that the simple things in life are the ones that make your soul happy; so continue to do those simple things and you'll find that you will be an all-round happier person.

9. You'd Rather Do Things The Old-Fashioned Way

Forget taking shortcuts to get things done faster, you'd rather do things the old-fashioned way and have them turn out right. This applies for all aspects of life, whether it be cooking, dating, or just driving on a roadtrip.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
