G'day from the land down under! I am a 23 year old Leo chick who is brand new to the hippie world....as such. The first 5 years of my life was filled with horrible stuff, I came from a psychopathic family but a ways lets make a long story short. When I was adopted at 19, I never really knew who I was and what I wanted to be. I had always loved animals, planting, sitting in the rain and smelling the wet soil and eating healthy etc. So one day I went into a store called 'TREE OF LIFE' and I felt at home there.....it was an incredible feeling! I spent hours trying on colourful baggy pants, and long crochet dresses and I fell in love with a white one with the brand 'peace Angel' And It was expensive but I just had to get it!! My male best friend was with me so I used my puss in boots cute face to get him to let me borrow off him and I ended up getting 2 gorgeous dresses (hopefully the attachment worked) Also some bracelets and henna paste. So I have found my place...I'm a HIPPIE! My adopted mum and I are Christians, she is a strict Christian but a cool one and I'm just an easy going Christian, I believe in God and Jesus but I don't go to church often so I'm not 'full on'. Anyway, I read that Hippies are a 'multi religious' community and I so I was happy about that...well even if they were not I would still be a hippie! So I decided to tell mum and I was afraid that she would just 'assume' and be like 'oh no that's bad!!! Ect' but her reply shocked me...she said 'I've been a hippie all my life! I'm still a hippie but I just don't dress as one' So yeah! Hello fellow hippies! If you took the time to read all this then I apologise for blabbering on...I am lacking sleep so I am running on adrenaline Starr.

hey g'day. (Ahoi) I'm wearing a Tree OF Life poncho thing my sister gave me. What part of Aussie are you in ? BTW there's a whole lot of strange (stupid ?) comments here that don't have anything in particular to do with being a 'hippy'.
Ahoi! I am in NSW! As for the comments.....what's wrong with that? I was just introducing myself, and there was not much I could reply to the 'Oi' other than 'Oi'. haha Maybe I babbled on so much he was mind blanked and that's all he could think of saying. haha oh and if any of that came across as me sounding defensive....it was not intended to be! :sunny:
Greetings SMS! I hope you're enjoying these wonderful forums thus far! I myself have never been to Australia. I have a good friend close to Adelaide, South Australia and one other friend near Brisbane. As for the time difference, whatever time you see in New York City is what I'll have.

If you're anywhere near the northcoast you're pretty much in 'hippy central'. I'm in the 'far south'.
