Backtracking

I suppose now is as good a time as any to explain why Kindred has the name that I've given him. I've had boyfriends over the years but there are a small amount which I consider significant. There is my First Love, my Longest Love, and Kindred. How significant Kindred truly is is difficult to determine given the recent break up. Years from now I may be able to offer insight guided by hindsight which is outside of my grasp at this time.

Anyway, I mentioned before that the psychic that I saw a few days ago was someone that I know. At some point last summer I started having a strong urge to seek out a psychic. I had been separated from my Longest Love for about nine months and I was curious about my future. When I found her and had my reading I had just recently started seeing Kindred and asked about whether I had a future with him. What she told me sounds far fetched. She told me that Kindred is literally a kindred spirit of mine (hence the name I chose for him) and that we had a relationship in a past life. In that life Kindred did something hurtful to me and he decided to take a role in this life to uplift me and make up for the hurt he caused me in the past life.

I know that "past lives" are a difficult concept to consider for many. I really believe this was the truth though. Kindred and I fell hard and we fell fast. We were telling each other that we loved one another after just a few days and our passion and emotional connection was so strong that I truly felt like I did already know him.

The psychic told me that Kindred's role in my life this time around was to undo damage done by my Longest Love. Kindred really did wonders for my self esteem and self image. For whatever it's worth, whatever hurt he caused me in the previous life...all is forgiven. I'm grateful for the time I spent with Kindred and I appreciate the confidence he renewed in me.
