Past lives

Some places feel like I've been there before.

Have you ever walked into a place for the first time and felt strangely at home? The light, the smell, the sound of the street — like a memory you never made.

Maybe it's déjà vu. Maybe it's something older, deeper, that none of us can fully explain.

I don't need to know the reason. I only know those moments remind me that life is bigger and stranger than my calendar. That there's mystery left in the world.

Pay attention when a place feels like home. It might be telling you something about who you are.
