Thank you for your response @practicalthough, it means alot to be heard. I feel we have a connection over these (often uncomfortable) insights. When looking back over these words they seem to have almost a manic quality haha. Still it seems true. Sometimes I seem to write about light and love, and then sometimes its more like this.

If old soul means an insightful way of seeing, and a capacity to feel life intensely - then I would agree with that. Yes it's something to do with having a strong heart, which can face up to ugly things yet also allow a great deal of beauty into the world.

Gratitudes
