Twice in one week I was identified as someone that someone else recognized or that I looked exactly like someone from back home; this time home being in Australia. I can’t tell you how many times this happens to me. I have a few theories:

1. I am adopted and my biological parents have a huge extended family, I have over 30 biological siblings and we have scattered the globe.
2. I was part of an unnamed government cloning experiment that happened in the 60′s when everyone was doing illicit drugs. The clones have been placed in all parts of the world.
3. In a past life I was someone of great importance that everyone’s inner spirit recognizes and they recognize me from that past life.

It started way back in high school when I had two different people at two different times, come right up to me and start a conversation of which I had no clue what they were talking about. It turns out that both of these people thought I was a girl from another local high school.

From there it’s been random sightings; people have thought I was their neighbor, their flatmate, someone from back home, someone they recognized from TV, someone they used to work with. On the ship, the mistaken identities become more frequent, and I’m not sure why that happens. But about once a cruise someone will tell me they know me but they don’t know from where. I’m going to start telling them I’m Cleopatra and leave it at that.
