Always follow what your heart tells you . School can not teach you a talent you are born with it. Happiness is in the eye of the beholder . Allways chase your dreams no matter what!!! And good luck at what ever you choose! Both of my parents were and still are hippies and are very happy now and have been pretty successful and they are still flower children of the 60s.
47 here. Went to college, got a job, bought a house. Joined the rat race. In retrospect, I was much happier renting and partying all the time with my chums. No responsibility and total freedom.
Man im not a 60's hippie myself but I can relate to what your going through alot as im going through similar things. Like i'm always figuring what path do I really want materialism or spiritualism but recently all this material shit was really starting to drag me down so I said fuck it and decided to go down the path of spiritualism.So what im doing now is getting rid of almost all of my material possesions except the few I can carry with me and im heading out when the time comes. I really don't have a destination in mind I just think I need to be out in the world and moving along hopefully finding others on the way that are into the alternative life. I really believe the only way to start another movement is to live by example.In my opinion I think those of us that are waiting for the movement to start up need to come together and 'drop out' and quit wating for others to do it first.
