Have you ever met someone you just click with immediately? Someone you find yourself sharing everything with even though you barely know them?
Last week I had a bloke from South Africa staying with me, someone who found me through couchsurfing.com, who fits that description. Nic arrived at my house around 5:30 and we talked non-stop until after midnight. I shared things with him that many of my closest friends don't even know! My parents would be mortified if they knew how many skeletons I freed from the closet.
Whenever I meet someone like Nic it just reconfirms my belief that we live many lifetimes. That we have a soul family we come in contact with again and again. Helping us to remember who we are. Comforting us when life becomes challenging. Encouraging us to be authentic. Reminding us that our connections run deep and we are never alone.
As hard as it was to watch Nic leave, I take comfort in knowing that I've reconnected with a long-lost friend. And now I know where he and his family live!
