i am 17 living in bakersfield CA and i feel more out of place than i could possibly describe. i dont call myself a hippie because i didnt live through the 60's and i feel that its a term that belongs in that era but i believe all of the same things and i would give my life a million times if there could be peace in this world. i realize that there has to be people my age out there who still believe this way but i cant help feeling so alone because ive never met anyone else like this. i feel like i was born in the wrong time and place. this might be weird but i figured i would try to find someone else around my age who believes this way. it is really hard to keep believing in something when you feel like your the only one left. anyway my email is bizrcelebrations@aim.com i would love to be able to talk to anyone at any age about the world though because it would help me to keep believing. thanks, Penelope
Hey Penelope, Guess I am the first to respond and hopefully others will too. This would be the right forum board to meet ppl you seek. We have many members here your same age and possibly like-minded. Just hang out, look at some other threads and chime in the discussions. Good Luck,
With love brother, don't worry, you're not the only one. A lot of brothers and sisters are traveling around out there, some above the radar and some below it, but most definitely the spirit of LOVE is alive and well. The big problem is lots of hippies ... well, they're harder to find than one would imagine. Off-grid living, travel, usually reject the typical corporate workload... very drifty folks. But you know the cool part? Keep your heart right and your intentions pure and you will meet all the right people that you are meant to. Just keep walking in love, don't worry what the world says, and it'll be alright
Hey. I felt the same way for a long time, until I really got into these forums. I've already learned a ton of stuff. I find that what is making me feel lonely is all middle-grounds to greater things and that self-discovery is the most important thing in life that'll keep you afloat and happy.
this is so awesome. thank you all for replying i honestly feel so much better now. i found this forum and i thought that it might be the place that would help me find people like myself and turns out i was exactly right. is anyone else here a vegetarian or vegan?
I am. Hi! I'm new here too and I signed up because I felt alone and like I need to reach out to like-minded people because I feel the same way as you. I guess I'm kind of "around" your age or at least I like to pretend cuz I don't feel 24 at all, hehe.. But I definitely know what you mean about feeling so out of place. I have for a while now too... I haven't figured out PMs yet, haha, but if you ever wanna trade veggie recipes or just shoot the shit or w/e, then hit me up yo
aw thats awesome! what i love about this site is that so far, out of the topics ive read, i havent seen ONE mean or rude comment. everyone seems so genuinely nice and respectful and its just so inspiring cause i haven't seen that anywhere else. it really restores my faith in people.
yea definetely! i dont know how the PM's work yet either. i just made this account yesterday. haha. and my email address is bizrcelebrations@aim.com if you have a chance, email me. i have this recipe that i created that i would love to share because i think its delicious. its for a veggie pot pie. are you vegan or just vegetarian?
Yeah, I think that this kind of feeling is fairly common with those of us that share these beliefs... that there can't be any others out there. But there is.
Penelope my dearest friend! Soon we will be out of this place and on our way to much greater adventures. -Scarlet
I now what you mean , i feel lonely too , i guess i born in the wrong place but not in the wrong time , the 60's where awesome but there were hippies way before the "hippies", im 23 and im looking for like minded people too .I found that im not the only one,but i feel very aislated sometimes
Hey, I live only about 3 hours away from you and I can relate to a certain extent. It's true, we're definately in the minority on a lot of issues, but being yourself is the absolute most important thing! I hope you feel better, message me to talk "hippie" if you ever get the chance!
I'm a level 5 Vegan. I don't eat anything that casts a shadow. (just kidding - old Simpsons joke) Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll find many like-minded people here, as well as a few smart asses, like myself.
