This isn't the first body your soul has inhabited and it probably won't be the last. At some point in the past, your soul was marked by the cosmos to be reincarnated in a cycle of life and death. While the details of your past lives are foggy at best, the reason for reincarnation is often conveyed in your new body's teen years coming in forms of dreams or deep desires. For these reasons you have set out in the great wide world looking for your purpose.
