Here too long-My Past Lives and Me

I'm on vacation with my family, and the reason I bring this up is because while saying hello to one of my baby cousins my aunt commented that he looked like he was watching me intensively, like he knew me from a past life and was trying to figure out how he knew me. As soon as she said that he started crying and my instant thought is "Must not have gotten along with him lol"

I've always been told that I was an old soul, though I used to never think much about it since the people who said that would still treat me like my age. But aside from acting like an opinionated teenager from the moment I was born I feel like there have been other things that have hinted towards prior lives. For instance, the blend of my need to travel and the feeling that I don't really have a place to belong has hinted that I was perhaps a nomad in a past life. Trust me, I'm not just spouting some loner BS. I just don't get sentimental about where I plant my roots, for lack of a better phrase. Sure, I enjoy my time living where I'm at, but I know when it's time to move on, and I don't get sad when I have to do it. Funny thing is I haven't moved since I was a baby and I was way too young to remember where I lived before that, so I've lived in the same town and in the same home for as long as I can remember. 

Another thing I've found interesting is that when someone mentions witch trials I always think of fire, when as an American I should be more associated with hangings. That might also explain my relationship with water (to dispel the fire I that may have been used to kill me?) 

I was once told by a medium that she sensed I was an Irish man in a past life. I wonder what else I could have been? My gut is definitely telling me I have zero trace of royalty in me, which I know is something that a lot of people with the slightest interest in past lives hopes for. What difference does it make if you were an Egyptian princess or the Duchess of France? It's not like you get to benefit from the only things you're interested in. Looking into past lives isn't about the cool titles you had then: it's about the experiences you got and how they carried over into the current life.
