Answer :

I’m not a fan of wives tales. I’m not very superstitious. There is one thing that bugs me though – have you heard the one where if your ears are red, somebody is talking about you? It’s rather laughable. To answer your question, I do not believe in the first one. I’m not sure I believe the second one either. I do think deja vous has significant meaning, but whether it means you’re on the right path or not, I’m unsure. Sometimes I wonder if it’s a collission of past lives
