I'm 18 years old, I try to be hippie but I don't really have any cool friends. Well I guess they are cool in there own way but I wish I had more like minded friends. My dream is to learn Portuguese and Spanish, backpack to south America and fight deforestation in the rainforest. Are there any hippie kids in Ontario?
I'm 15, I think this counts. Oh, my birthday's in July ☺ I can't believe I'm almost 16. I'd like to join a commune or something at this point, but the only thing I don't want is to be having crazy sex. I'm asexual and, by my own standards, I just don't want anything like that with anybody. WEST SIIIIIIIIIDE haha, kiddin'.
Always been one at heart, I suppose. Don't think a "Hippie" is something you just suddenly decide to become. Or announce by getting dreadlocks and tie-dying the living shit out of everything. Being brought up by a strictly "I-love-my-office-job" and "I-hope-she-goes-to-Harvard" single mom in a country abroad, I rarely get to see any of the other few relatives that I have. But you know what's the kinda scary cool coincedency? Something i've realized quite recently. I usually spend my summer with my gran, her brother (gran-uncle? ha!), his daughter... all that good stuff. And up until now I've not actually acknowledged the fact that they're all goddamn hippies. I mean, they don't look like hippies, as I said, but it's hard to deny; especially browsing through a couple of groovy 60s-70s albums, (they're all 50s babies!) Getting to know 'em relatives made me feel a little less out of place. Also, explains why my mother desires so blatandly to have absolutely nothing to do with them. You know the type. It kinda saddens me though, I guess...with her mindset and whatnot...But I can't change her mentality. Gosh, it's hard. But it helps knowing that you're not alone!! *virtual internet hugs*
I'm 20, but I'm still a teen at heart. I think I will be for awhile. We're in the same boat. You're not alone. I'm not alone.
Yes I feel the same way! It seems that there aren't many young hippies around where I live. I do have some older hippie friends which is great but it would be nice to see there are young people like me that have the loving values of the good ol days, hard to find in these times of the world. Don't get me wrong I love all people, whether hippie or not, it would just be great to talk with people who have the same interests and peace and love mindset as I so.
Once again, YoungHippieDream, a couple posts doesn't mean you know me. Sounds like you're still fuming from that other thread. Calm down. Personally, I see no reason for us to be nothing less than good friends. We're both hippies, have similar music tastes, both into guitar, and both into mind expansion. We're even both around the same age! That's a combination that is really rare around my area. I need to move.
