Sometimes in life we meet people who remind us of someone we knew; a grandmother that we loved, a caring mother, a father who provided us with safety, a special someone we loved, but things didn’t went as planned with that loved one. Sometimes that person who reminds us of the people we cared about in the past don’t even share any feature of those people he reminded us of. So, how did he or she do so?!
We as humans (i.e. emotional beings), tend to get attracted to people who are caring, people who listen empathically to our stories and try to help us with our troubles. It’s human nature. We tend to get attached to people who share us our moments of joy or sadness, even if we didn’t really know much about them. We relate to them we direct our emotions towards them.
We so much crave for someone to fill our empty space left by our loved ones from our past. We keep searching for someone or something we think might be the answer to our feeling of emptiness; someone or something that can fill that emotional void within us.
Sometimes we meet people who share features of our loved ones from our past. They say some phrases that our loved ones from the past used to say, they make similar gestures, they sometimes may resemble their voices, they may even remind us of some experiences we experienced with our loved ones from our past. That word “the past” has its magical effect. We are too much attached to our past, even if sometimes we don’t even know it. We keep fishing in our past trying to remember that old class mate from school who we were attracted to, but never really got to know, the girl from collage we used to like, but got our hearts broken, the guy who broke our hearts when we opened our hearts to them, and cared about them only to discover he didn’t really care that much. We sometimes see shadows of them in people we meet. We let our past take too much of our present and block us from realizing our bright future.
Why does all this happen?!
