Hi All, I happened to stumble upon this great website and this forum, and apparently, none too soon. I very much relate to the so called hippie lifestyle. I have often felt like an outsider as a result of being non-conventional, but I guess after 36 years, I am exhausted. I am a gay male with a sense of spirituality, living here in the land of plastic in South Florida. I feel very disconnected with others around here,lost and isolated. At times, I feel almost suicidal, if truth be told. I am seeking some sense of community, even though it may be an online community. I am seeking your experiences of how you keep going through this life. I am seeking peace, ultimately, but I seem to be losing my grasp. Also, seeking any recommendations (books, places, etc...) to help someone to start over. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. Peaceseeker
Hi Peaceseeker Welcome to the forums from a fellow newbie I can relate to your feeling of being disconnected from the community, although maybe not on the same scale.. I don't think you should ever have to feel the way you describe - it's completely unfair, especially in your own community. You sound like a beautiful, senitive person and I hope you find what you are looking for soon. Peace, Holly
