When I was in 8th grade, I moved to a new state and didn’t know anyone. But oddly, as I walked down the halls minding my own business, I had kids waving to me and saying hello.

It was completely weird, and I just chalked it up to the people in this new state being so much more open and outgoing.

Then, after being there a week or so, I was walking down the hall, and I saw a guy walking towards me, and he...looked like me! And as we got closer, he was staring at me! We stared at each other as we passed without talking!

You know, throughout my life, I have rarely been able to look at someone else and say they looked like me, it is a weird thing. But this guy really did. I never talked to him in the two years I went there, but...it was a pretty big school.

I always wondered what that guy thought about it, but it was pretty clear in that one encounter that he felt the same looking at me!

There was a guy a year or two ahead of me in high school that I thought looked a lot like me. I would have thought my dad might have been steppin’ out but I also look a lot like my mother.

"... and I saw a guy walking towards me, and he...looked like me!"

Were you adopted at a very young age? Perhaps you were adopted but don't know about it.

Do an internet search for "Three Identical Strangers" for a story about triplets separated at birth and adopted by three different families. None of the triplets knew about the existence of the other two.

Perhaps your future holds surprises that you can't even imagine.
