being a hippie...

Rules. it's a lot of fun

BTW name your ages and at ehat age did you become interested in the hippie movement and/or became a hippie

I'm 35

got interested in the hippie movement at the age of 15

became a hippie in my 20's

 

Im 47..and I never knew I WAS a hippie...or that it was anything different till I got in school and realised that other people didnt live like I did.
My parents were hippies , and raised me as one..so to me it wasnt anyting special.

 

been a hippie all my life..

 

awww love the pic

 

Never 'became' a hippie. I think being interested in the hippie movement doesn't says anything about being a hippie. I'm not interested in it at all. Find the present much more interesting.

 

don't know i always have been very empatic person : )

 

I'm 21, I got into hippie culture in my mid teens, and became a hippie in my first year of college.

 

I just am, I don't know why. I gave up the free life for a long time ago, but I'm still me.

 

High fives everyone

 

i have been all my life , i grew into it the more i saw life and the more i saw that i am a hippy i dont just say it i walk it .

 

There is no defining moment for me. I have always been different from others, never fit in, never really wanted to be cast in the mold of where I "should" have been. I guess when I left home and went to college I finally stopped caring what the hell everyone else thought and decided to be what made ME happy, which I guess ended up being a hippy, crunchy, granola, whatever.....

Fast forward a few years....

Had a kid, thought I had to act "normal" for my kid. Realized that it made me miserable and once again I had to be myself. Enter the dreadlocks, patchworks and mismatched clothes.....hooray!!! It's not so much about the clothes or hair, it's about being who I am, not caring about what society says is normal or acceptable and doing what I feel is my true being, the essence of myself. I am having a lot of fun!:cheers2:

 

I'm 15, I guess you could call me a hippy, my views pretty much fit in to that category. I first became interested in the hippie movement at about 13, but my parents were always a tad bohemian.

 

i'm 20..thought i was just weird until recently when i realized that there's a bunch of ppl just like me
i never knew any hippy (there arent many hippies where i'm from ) during my growing up so i didnt know anyone that i could relate to.

can definitly relate to turnipgranola story here though

much love and peaaace

 

What is a "hippie?"

 

I would say people that are free, not only from external stuff but also from themselves.. but thats just my opinion

peace
