when i was around 7 or 8, i was convinced i was actually born a boy and my family was lying to me. i wanted short hair too. i didn’t like to wear dresses or stereotypically girly stuff and i wanted to wear men’s clothes. i wanted to hang out with the other boys and it always seemed like the “boy world” was more my thing at that age than the girl world i was expected to enter.

    Ahh, I think i’m experiencing something of past life glimpses myself, i believe of a young man who killed himself in the early 2000s. do you ever get really tired and see these “flashes” or get like deja vu that you said something and you feel like your past life had said it?

      Not exactly, but often times I feel very guided in my actions, and things always seem to work out when I lean into it, and conversely go bad when I stray from it. Whether that’s wisdom from past lives, genetic coding, ancestors looking down on me, angels, God, aliens, or just powers of subconscious observation - I couldn’t even begin to guess.

      For example, I always drive the same route home from work, but once felt an overwhelming desire to take a different way. I found out later that there was an accident on my usual route. Coincidences like that seem to happen a lot.

      I know that’s only loosely tied to what you were getting at but thought it was interesting enough to share.
