do you really consider yourself a hippy?

soaringeagle... you are fascinating. you seem like an amazing person.

 

Damn, Eagle! I have to give it to you: you've led one hell of a life! A true inspiration (and I don't say that often, if at all).

 

awww i love you petey i miss youuuuuu buster

ahhh i didnt know you rode a unicycle! this boy i went to highschool with rode around town all day on a unicycle...now hes 21 and i still see him once in awhile riding his unicycle to work.

 

i dont live my life in a lable...
lables just keep you in a box...
poeple arent lable there poeple...
lables control what you say,how you think..
i consider my self kearston rambo....


stop trying to be something
and stop not trying to be something
and just be....it's beautiful just to be..

 

i totally dig what your saying. i dunno ive been really vunerable the past year, adjusting to the change that comes to everyone my age when friends leave and change but i realised it was me that was changing with maturaity. im not saying being hippie is at all immature. i mean, it felt right just being hippie at the time, i wasnt trying to fit in or anything. i just was. but i realised after i while i was exaggerating the hippie me way too much to keep up with people i was hanging with. and got over the whole, if i wanna be with these cool dudes i gotto be smokin up speaking the lingo and wearing poncho's (thats what they were doing not trying to stereotype) although .. i do still blaze only occasionly.. and i do speak the lingo a bit.. and ill never let go of my dirty poncho.

i just succumbed to peer pressure.

bahhh i dont know what the point of what ims saying is.
sometimes we go through our dark days and hate the world and others we live our day like a last loving every second of it yeah, but along the way we sometimes forget who we are and just walk to the beat of others cause i think its easier, but in the end its harder so just embrace who we are, and those who also embrace you are the cool kids no labels needed.

cheers. billie s2 .

 

Why be someone esle when you can be yourself??

 

I don't think of myself as being a hippie, simply because I wasn't even alive during that time period. Though the hippie way, is a mindset to me, the label is more for that time or the 60-70s.

 

If a label is required, then I am truely a hippy. Have been more years than not, and Woodstock was the mecca of it all. I've tried other things to be so to speak. I've tried to exist without the values that I aquired over a lifetime of being labeled "hippy"....It didn't work. I always manage to bring into play the values that make one have the hippy label. And then I introduce them into the other lifestyle until they consume that lifestyle completely....and the label shines through once more. I do not separate myself from anyone. I am no better or worse than anyone else. Maybe my actions and values are better than the wasteful money grubbing population of conformists, but that does not make me a better person....but it does make me a hippy. My thoughts, mind set, way of looking at the world around me, way of being a part of the world around me, liberalism, patriotism, any other "ism", my attitude, my love of others unconditionally, my very essence, labels me hippy. So as I said; if a label is required...label me HIPPY for sure man. Peace and Love !:rainbow:

 

In my own opinion, I would consider myself a hippie, I am myself, and myself can be defined as hip

 

i call myself a hippy when describing my style to others that i dont really know yet...Even though i am unsure of the meaning they will take from it I guess I kjust do it out of habit now because so many people have called me a hippy.... am just me and I try to be as natural as possible

 

and i cant spell because im too baked so damn! Im a hippy:leaving:

 

Hippie is what they called JuJu back in the day when the straight-nics used to throw beer bottles out their car windows at him...the beer washed off but the hippie never did. Me, Cinnamon; hippie is the closest thing I've found to a lable that fits but it's all relative...and we're all relatively related...and most Rainbow hippies can really relate to that one!

 

all i know is, you have to be born into it, my mom was that peace loving kind of peson and she raised me to be one too. but if you really want labels then yes im a hippie, i care about things besides war, id like to protest but then i really dont care about it cause protesting is kinda startin a fight or a war itself, so i keep quiet and try to keep bringing the happiness

 

I do consider myself a hippie, but not one of those extreme hippies who dress like they did in the 60s. I am more of an environmental hippie. I am a Greenpeace aktivist.

About half of my relatives where real hippies who lived in a freetown in copenhagen called Christiania during the 70s. from there I have got a lot of the hippie spirit...


...and a lot of weed..haha

 

I'm a sympathizer, but hardly anyone would call me a real hippie :&

Things I like about the Hippy ideal:
Being honest and real,
Trying to make a better world,
Compassion and charity,
Living peacefully, whenever possible,
Loving our mother earth, & wanting to care for her,
Being comfortable with our own and other folks bodies, and
Choosing your own trip.

Ways I am NOT a hippie:
No Drugs. Period.
I have a job and believe in capitalism and free enterprise.
I believe in individual responsibility.
I live in the 'burbs, (but I'd like to get closer to the land)
I have no hair I dress "professionally."

On the whole, you'd probably peg me as "THE MAN."

Oh well, Peace to you all, anyway.

 

that would be about the only thing that really fits me

 

people at school call me a hippy but most people see hippy as someone who wears tie-dye shirts and has long hair. i don't mind being called a hippy cause i guess i am one. my parents wernt exactly hippies but raised me not to care what people think about me and most of the music i listen to they did(grateful dead, allman brothers, the beatles). pretty much my whole life i listened to what was concidered hippy music. so i dont know call me what you will i dont care.

 

I don't care if it's just another label, I'm a neo-hippie 'till death.
