Hey there! ok so for the past hour ive been sitting here questioning myself. you see because just today an old friend of mine told me i was a "tryhard". something to do with the way ive been dressing and expressing myself lately. she seems to take me "expressing myself" the wrong way, thinking im trying hard to be a hippie. I was confused as im not even trying to be hippie or anything, it just comes naturally. it's the way i am. plenty of people have said to just not worry about it and shes just being jealous. but its really getting to me because ive only just found a group of friends around where i live now and ive felt much more comfortable dressing the way i do and standing out from the crowd. i dont want to look like a tryhard because i do often silenty laugh at the trend hippies myself. sorry to sound so blahhhhh. thanks xoxox
This is an issue not restricted to hippie type kids, but all kids. At about your age, and Im sure you know this already, everyone adjusting nd readjusting themselves and relfections of themselves and watching and listening to the kids around them at the same time. The best thing is just relax.
This reminds me of a friend I had once. We met at a summer job and clicked right away. We had a lot of fun that summer. A year or so later I went to visit him and I had acquired long hair and the hippie getup and it rubbed him the wrong way. I wasn't trying to be anything. I just was being me. The friendship kind of sunk and never refloated. That's the way it goes sometimes. People change and relationships often shift. Sometimes they can accomodate the change and sometimes not. It can be hard to let go of old relationships but sometimes you just have no choice. Don't get stuck in the past. Just keep moving forward and follow your heart and you'll find what you need coming to meet you on your path ahead.
