Hi all, i am not a hippie, im not sure why many reasons i guess, up bringing, addiction to technology, lack of opportunities to embrace the life, the list could go on and on, i have always loved the idea of a hippie lifestyle though and i am very curious to hear form some old, young any kind of people that consider themselves hippie's, what to you defines being a hippie? what does it take for you to consider some one a hippie? can't wait to hear from people and get more insight into your lives
Here's one thing: labels are a drag. There's no such thing as a hippie or someone who isn't, because everyone is who they are individually. There are people similar to each other in characteristics, which leads to the labels. But nobody is really anything. People should just be themselves and not worry about labels or what the labels mean eace:
love this answer!! so so true! i don't mean to label people and i do apologise it has just become a uniform easy way to identify what kind of person you are talking about. i will say though if some one feels the need to label you and takes the time to label you, be proud that you stood out so much as yourself that you have been grouped with a gaggle of like minded individuals!
I found this picture/quote that reads: "Being a true hippie really has nothing to do with the way you look, the way you dress or the way you talk. It does not matter your age, race, creed or religion. Being a true hippie comes from within your heart, mind and soul. Being a true hippie means that you care about others. You care about our planet and all of its inhabitants. It means that you are more than willing to do whatever you can to help better this world. That is being a true hippie."
I must say I agree with most of the answers. No labels, just be yourself, however, as the years go by I have understood that we all find each other not only by vibes or looks, but by the things we like and share in common. In my case a deep love for nature, understanding of all life forms, patterns and certain athmospheres ... states of mind. And music as well, as sometimes you just want to have a good time and keep discovering how amazing our universe is, feelings as well ... and never let your ego grow as much you cannot enjoy simple things in life ... Sharing! And now that I am opening to you all, would like to share something I dig ... maybe someone will catch the style for a while, I found it amazing, flowers and more flowers dancing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT-voaWSzsw Love and peace always ... Hope you enjoyed it.
