20 SIGNS YOU HAVE A GYPSY SOUL
1. Her spirit is wild and free. She refuses to be tied down with conventions. She doesn’t let society rule her down. She resents people who tell her how to live her life. She has her own path to follow and rivers to flow in.
2. She thinks too much and she feels too much. She is very empathetic, but doesn’t neglect her own needs. She can get hurt quickly, though she can let go of negative emotions just as easily. A gypsy soul can get very happy and very sad at the same ease.
3. She is unique and doesn’t imitate anybody. She has her own sense of style in every aspect of life. She doesn’t seek acceptance from other people.
4. She follows her soul no matter what. She is not afraid of taking chances and lives in uncertainty. She is brave and thoughtless sometimes. But she is aware of who she is and depends on her intuition.
5. The love of travelling is her first and everlasting love. She lives her life to the fullest and loves change – she is always looking for something new. She likes diversity which is why she likes meeting new people and listen to their stories. Otherwise she might get bored easily. Routine is not her thing.
6. She sees, appreciates and feels the beauty in nature. She loves animals and gets inspired by mountain streams, forests, oceans, rain and Sun.
7. Because of her heightened emotions she is unpredictable. She can go from happy to sad in matter of minutes. One minute she is ready hang out with her friends, the other she is cancelling her plans. That is why she is constantly searching for balance in life.
8. She enjoys her own company. Her “alone time” is very important to her, because it makes her feel comfortable. She never relies on other people to make her happy; she creates her own happiness.
9. She is an art lover. When she is speaking about art it may seem like she is exaggerating but she really understands art. She might even be an artist herself. She is an artist in her own way tho – she paints life in her own colours.
10. Music is her drug. She finds it in everything it makes her move in ways you cannot even imagine. She enjoys words, rhythm, dancing. Everything that defines music – everything that essentially defines life.
11. She has fire in her gypsy soul. She does everything with great passion or she doesn’t do it at all. Passion is her life force: she makes career, friendships and relationships based on passion.
12. She has a mouth she cannot control. No matter what, she speaks her mind. She is protective of her ideals and beliefs.
13. She is free-spirited and dislikes everything that burdens her or ties her down. Her relationship has to give her a sense of freedom. She runs away from everything that pressures and constrains her.
14. She is out in search of deeper meanings. She is curious, she also sees the deeper meaning behind your words. She demands to know the meaning of them if she thinks you are hiding something.
15. She has a heart for vintage things because they have history and meaning.
16. She is a collector of moments. Material things are not important to her. She can live almost anywhere as long as it is clean and decent.
17. She loves unconditionally no matter what you do or how you behave. If you are currently in a good or bad place. She will never judge. She accepts you for who you are. Her love is unquestionable and undeniable, something you can rely on.
18. She is a wanderer. Her life is based on the search of herself She wanders around trying to figure out what is it that she really wants from life. Being lost fives her sense of direction. She always finds new ways to improve herself and is not afraid to take different paths to lead her to her destination, even if she still doesn’t know what that is.
19. She looks her life in the eye and takes everything as it comes. Troubles make her even stronger. She welcomes them as a natural part of life. They are bound to happen, so she gets through them and accepts them for what they are.
20. She believes something good is always waiting just around the corner. She is always on the lookout for that one little miracle that will change everything for the better. Optimism is food for her soul.
