Hello And Assistance Needed :)

Hi,
I just recently joined this forum! Someone directed me here and after everything I've read this is an amazing community: and while I introduce myself I wanted to ask for a little assistance on my life journey.

So I'm 20 years old and for 20 years I've been defined by social constructs around me. I grew up near a city and was surrounded by ideals that were accepted by society but not of my own volition. Inside, I've always known I was a hippie of sorts. A carefree spirit who was constantly held inside by people who didn't want me to be myself. People who told me to dress different, do things I didn't want to, etc.

And just lately I've come to the realization that it's time to let the hippie out I'm undergoing a life transformation. My body and mind are transforming and beginning to function more like a hippie. My real thoughts are flowing in my brain of peace and love and nature. And I couldn't be happier.

However, I'm still held back by insecurities and lack of knowledge. I want to be introduced to clothes hippies wear. Music hippies listen to, eat what hippies eat, etc. I want to meet so many hippie friends here and learn from them and ask for any assistance. I just need a push or someone to help watch over me to let the full hippie out. And I'd love to talk to you all! If anyone wants to be friends or speak or help me please feel free to contact and say hi! I'd love it. I've been defined by others for so long and you are my kind of people and I want to be like you thank you so much

 

Welcome to the forum!

I'm not good with advice, but I think you should just be yourself. In trying to learn about hippies, and trying to live like one, aren't you just letting yourself be defined by others? Just do what feels natural.
