Wondering if I'm wandering...

[Brittany]

I always say if you think you're a wanderer, you probably are one. Just the fact that you're thinking about it sets you apart from the average school of thinking on this planet. At the very least I'd say it's likely you've had some encounters with the paranormal in past lives- huge things that might have "blown a hole in your box."

Do you ever look up at the stars and just feel this powerful longing- so strong you just want to cry? You want to get "back up there" someday by whatever means possible? That was the main sign for me.

I, too have been fascinated with spiritual principles my entire life. I was raised in a strict, dogmatic religion where anything paranormal was a trick of Satan, but I was still fascinated with anything metaphysical. It was such a relief when I broke away from all that and was finally free to believe in aliens and angels and reincarnation and elementals and everything else without being afraid of going to hell. My friends would look at me like I was on crack because I would go off on these tangents about deep spiritual principles and they just wanted to talk about boys and makeup. I drove everyone crazy asking "why, why, WHY?!?"

I know how you feel, feeling like an oddball amongst the oddballs. I think every wanderer goes through that to an extent- we feel alienated even amongst our own. I think it is important to remember that we are all still individuals. There is no set list of qualities you can observe in a wanderer- we're completely unique people just like everyone else.
