When did you realize you were a hippie?

Agreed, if people want to call me a hippy that's their choice, I don't have to endorse.

 

I don't think I really realized it until a few people pointed it out to me...

 

I don't know..one day I just realised that I have too much love to give...I started to hug all the people I know.Once I saw on the street one girl that I know.She gave me her hand to shake hands, but I said her "We are on hugs now".She said to me then "You are a real hippie"I think about it, and I realised that I was born to be a hippie, and that I'm a hippie from the time I realised that I must give all my love to the people.

 

i was in the produstion of "Tommy" by The Who, and realized how much i loved the mucsic, then i started listening more and more, and i have bought everything from flea markets since i was little so.... one of my friends was like "Dude, your a hippie" and i was like, ok.

 

I woke up and couldnt wipe it off!!!! I dont even know where I caught it!!!

 

i always, as long i can remember had a feeling inside me that i was different, that my friends as around me, i like other things and so on. but it was not until i become older that my eyes where open total and i found my place in the big jigsaw. Now i know i'm a Flowerchild and i'm proud of it.

 

I realized I am a hippie when I got totally turned on to seeking spirituality and living in a positive state of mind and being kind to all walks of life.

 

why are you refering to being a hippie like you are coming out of the closet?

 

you know there are some great, though cruel spirited, jokes there....

 

Isn't it kind of confining to say "I am a hippie?" Why can't you be a unique individual who believes whatever he or she believes without following some vague fashion or trend?

 

I agree ... why are we branding ourselves like cattle? I'm just me ... and that's all i'll ever be. If the things i do are considered "hippie-ish", then so be it.

 

I'd always been very different than my peers and never had any friends. I listened to different music, wore different clothes, etc. I was the strange girl in the corner talking to flowers, singing to herself and talking to her imaginary friend, Paul McCartney. I was raised in a home where I had to deal with parents stuck in the 1950s, who were very closed off about anything sexual, anything beyond the bubble they created basically. I was the youngest of 4 children by 16 years, and was always treated like a little girl. I always acted like one too, since none of my peers ever pierced my bubble either. However, entering college, I met my boyfriend who I am still with and he too was never much of a cool kid in school. He was raised by fundemental Christians, but he was the type of guy who rebelled against it by hanging around with the little school delinquents... a bit of the follower. Anyhow, all that said, I smoked my first joint with him at age 21 and it changed my life for the best! I opened up so much and burst through my bubble, began growing up and discovering who i really was, not who my parents wanted me to be. Right around then, i realized that we were both hippies. It was also around that time we both became vegetarians and started a band together. We slowly grew to realize that we didn't agree with most of the norm, and tried our best to live without conforming to it. No one ever understood us, and still to this day, people think we're a very odd couple. But we couldn't be happier and more free-spirited!

 

when i heard "purple haze" for the first time, after having had great sex... I just felt.... what is this music?

 

Me to man as soon as a found the zone there was no coming back but i also reliesed that my nature if that if the hippie as well so put it all togethr abd what do ya get

a hippie chick

lol what ever i' high and can't wriet properly hehehehe

 

We when the supereme goddess of hippiedom came to me in an epiphany, and said, "Thou are a hippy, now behave as such".

After that, I became a hippie and pledged my life to the hippie cause.

 

my favorite music is oldies (pretty much all 60's & 70's), jazz, reggae and relaxation.
i love nature and being outside, talking to plants and listening to the creatures. i practically have a cow if anyone abuses even the simplest of animals or disrespect them. i only dress up if i have to and rarely wear makeup. my closet consists of patched up bell bottoms, bohemian skirts and flaired sleeve tops with crazy patterns. i could never understand why peace cannot be acheived if everyone just tried a little compassion....and maybe some weed. lol. i can't stand politics and and our dehumanized government. and i often find myself wanting to get away from the craziness of society in general......and all the rules it imposes on my freedom.

anyway, maybe this makes me a "hippy", i consider myself a dreamer......

 

I'll drink to that earth fluff. Just be.

When i was 6 my dad was always listening to classic rock radio and then I heard Led Zeppelin and thought hey thats cool. Well when I was 13 I started getting into music. Then as a final act I bought a guitar because I thought I needed something to do. Then I started collecting records (I have a thousand now) and wearing band t-shirts (Beatles,Grateful dead etc.). have always hated materalism and I find most of your average kids today to be shallow and for a while I lost faith in people. I took up liberal poltics and started reading even more than normal all of this happening with out me even thinking of what I was trying to be and then I found this website a few years later and thought I have found my type of people. I may be a hippy or maybe a bohemian im not sure but I love it!

 

The first time a cop beat me up for passing out antiwar leaflets did it for me.

 

my opinions & general look on life was pretty much established by early adolesence, but i didn't know there was the 'term' hippy suited my 'values' until much later...
