  Old souls and their life purpose  Life is not new for old souls. They have experienced a lot of lifetimes before , precisely incarnations which made them evolve into beings with wisdom and purpose to take birth.  They know how life has ups and downs , they handle these with ease as they are experienced hands now .  Cycle of birth and death is also known to them , then why do they reincarnate ?  May be to fulfill some leftover Karma , something which they eagerly waited to do , yet could not be completed at that time owing to lack of a lifetime !  Yes , sometimes even life times are too short to accomplish some missions.  Selected souls get selected lifetimes and selected Karma to fulfill and thus the new journey to the mother's womb begins.

Perfectionist souls...

    Some souls reincarnate only to perfect their activities and roles.  When they reach that segment of life where correction is needed , they do it and again continue the rest of life with ease .  This makes them feel dejavu throughout their lives as they know how to do things since many incarnations. They repeatedly do certain karmas and attain mastery in it.

    I neglected myself because I was indulged in your thoughts every now and then.  Felt it to be more satisfying than my dreamy world of despair.  I started loving those moments when I could count your breaths near to me.  I started to count down days so that the D day arrives and I could spend my day with you.  Eyes became intoxicated only because you were sleeping in my dreams.  So serene gift of God you are , may be I feel blessed these days only because of you.  Sometimes , I feel to smile cutely in a while.  Sometimes , I laugh loudly at myself and my foolish thoughts about you .  I guess , I am fine right now.  Who cares , world only dances seeing you. I know.  I felt too to sing and dance.  But alas , I am not an expert to boast things like that.  I did them .. yeah , but in my dreams.  I am negligent , but diligent in devoting you deep inside my soul.  Oh my precious little pearl.
