Is there anybody else here who has this feeling that you actually hope your life is the last life on earth because you just... I don't know... feel you're bored? That you have seen it all already? That you hope that after this life you could get back home, what ever that home is? I mean I'm definitely not saying that I wouldn't love to be alife and here living my life right now, or not taking my life as a gift because that it definitely is, but just... I kind of hope this is my last one. That during this life I'm able to do those things I feel I still need to do and after that I could leave and move on to something new...
Does this make any sense to anyone?

Hi. Yeah, I always felt old, even as a child. And I've hoped that this is my last life on earth -- not that I have problems with the Earth herself... but some of the PEOPLE! (Ye Gods
) Not so much that I usually feel bored (though it happens on occasion) more just exhausted, exasperated,
tired. Though I know this isn't hoing to be my last life here *sigh*.

Been there, done that. In fact, despite not being considered "younger" quite like I was then; still there, still doing that.

Whoa, I used to use that exact same sentence to describe how I felt -- I still do on occasion when I feel like it's rough going.

Part of what I used to think was my problem is that
I'm NOT a social creature. Now that I realize that's okay, it's all good. 'Course not everyone agrees with my sentiments. ;-)

I always want to have the newest in technology and I sometimes have had this repeating dream in which I was living in a very futuristic looking city and it felt so familiar, like a home. I also often, when something new is invented, seem to think that hmmm finally, like that something should have been invented ages ago, like I already know how to use that... I also have some fears towards "modern", now existing inventions. I feel like our technology is partially outdated, even the newest one. For example cars. I absolutely refuse to drive because it is ridiculously dangerous. I have never understood why people are willing to drive voluntarily and in my head I have always had this clearest picture of a transportation system that is 100% safe, automatic, and no driving needed. That seems to be my normal, how things are, even though they aren't...

Yeah, that's totally possible. Especially because time is just an illusion anyway. Or you could be having left over feelings from someplace like Atlantis. Or you could be what Doreen Virtue calls "starpeople". Or you could be trans-dimensional, or... you get the point. yeah, for all I like old cars, cars are really dangerous and I never thought they were a good method of transportation.

I agree wholeheartedly, and I distrust technology immensely.

Going back to the OP the feelings of having been on this earth so long is what is termed an 'Old Soul'. Being an Old Soul isn't about brownie points as many would like to tell you it is, it merely means a Soul that has been round the block a few times. There are a few tell-tale signs and there are a few of these Old Souls on this thread. Feeling old is one of the signs. Old Souls also recognise their 'own'.

True that. :-) Though, technically all souls are the same age -- some just are more aware of the oldness and some have spent more time in other "realities" than this one.

Sure, it's a test. But you can't possibly fail because there is no right or wrong. Often it's you or the universe asking you if you are sure about who/what you are and what your intentions are. Sometimes it's reminding you that you can choose to live your Highest Truth or choose not to. Sometimes it's getting lost in the illusion of life or caught up in lower vibrations. Stay strong and centered in who you are. :-)
The thing that seems to be most helpful to me is to usually act like I'm four, except when I absolutely feel like I MUST act like I'm ninety-four.
