Just An Intro About Me To Get Started Sorry So Long

I am an old hippie. I grew up in a small town in middle Georgia. I had a very traumatic childhood but stayed true to love peace and happiness while raising my children who are all grown and normal happy people. I wore bell bottoms with lots of patches a headband and went to outdoor concerts with the likes of The Allman brothers, The Doobie bros all free in a park in Macon. Saw Lynerd Skynerd before the crash at the Atlanta amphitheater. Did some drugs but not too many. Mescalin being my favorite at that time. Hard to get though. I smoked weed to not look like a narc but it makes me paranoid which brings me to Black Sabath where I wore out my 8 track of Paranoid. I had one boyfriend in school. I at 18 married a 27 year old Vietnam vet. He never got over it and turned into an alcoholic. I had 3 children and stayed with him 15 years until his unfaithful behaviors got too much. I promptly remarried had 2 more children and stayed until they were grown. My second husband cheated too so I divorced him and have been alone ever since. That was almost 6 years ago. Now I am living in a state that abhors free will even though they preach it. My step dad had me and my mom baptized Mormons when I was 11 right before he left for Vietnam. In Georgia they were nice family oriented people so I raised my first 3 children Mormon and moved to Utah so they could find husbands. It worked they are happy. I on the other hand have lost belief and there is not much use for an old Georgia hippie here. My youngest son is a decorated veteran from the Iraq-Afghanastan war. He is also a computer whiz who just flew to Austin Tx for a job offer he can't refuse. He told me about a hippie commune and how laid back the atmosphere is. I googled hippie commune and came upon a this site. I had no idea there were still hippie friendly places. I have a van in the shop that is I hope getting road worthy. If I stay here in Utah my life is over. I have family still here but also a daughter and grandchildren in Ohio and now a son in Texas. I need a new life but I will be alone and need to be safe. The places listed on this site..are they safe places to stop and rest in my journey? I will be 57 in July. Would I be welcomed? How do you know which places are safe? Thank you in advance for any feedback. Peace, Love and Happiness to all

 

hard to travel with that shit load of luggage you just mentioned.........good luck


welcome to hip forums

 

Thank you. Sorry to share my shit load of luggage lol I am taking that as a joke and sincere advise,since hippies are laid back and all but my luggage would fill several train cars and has inspired one book. I plan to leave little invisible shit piles along the road as I travel making sure no one else stumbles into them. I hope to find peace. It's all I have ever asked for. Thank you for your encouragement, and wisdom in reminding me that you have to let go of your past. That is what my goal is. I wish you good luck in your endeavors as well.
