I wouldn't call myself a hippie, but I dislike the labels to be applied to people so simply. I am a 20-something male and have always felt like an odd one out, many people don't understand me. It is okay, as I often don't understand them. I have very many artistic interests such as music, writing, game dev, painting/drawing. I like skateboarding and fishing. Spending time in nature makes me feel more comfortable than safe enclosures. I found this website looking up nudism since it has been an interest for many years. Most around me are not accepting of it, I suppose it's just another oddity to unravel. So yes, it always feels like I don't belong, due to several experiences. I often live in a dreamlike state. Unfortunately, I must work currently and I am in college. I don't really know how my life got served to me in such a way. Soon I wish to escape in some or full capacity. I do enjoy how this forum is still active, I haven't been on forums in ages as they all fizzled out.
I hope they make a big comeback. Social media is too personal. The anonymity of old school message boards was cool. Plus, there was one for everything.
Labels are so often wrong because they're given by people on the outside looking in through very tiny windows. Hope you enjoy your time here.
I've been a hippie longtime. But no wish for weed, anymore. Although, I do like the concept of bartering it for stuff, etc.. I do still have the hair/Beard. & I do occasionally stink.
