hello everyone!! im new to hipforum so i thought i should introduce myself im christine marie, and 16 years old! i guess ill start from the beginning... i am JUST starting to get into the whole "peace, love" thing but its working pretty well for me. it started with me going to school and one day realizing that my generation is caught up in the world. its bullcrap. fussing. fighting. theres so much hatred...and for what? we will all grow up and end up not caring what we did in highschool anyways. it wont matter. so i realized that this whole front we put on for the world... acting cool, trying to fit in, acting a certain way to be noticed. its stupid. im just happy that i realized it before its too late. now i just dont give a crap. i love being me,. wearing flower earrings, my hair down and natural. laughing and trying to make things better. its not always easy for me though. i forget that theres a much more beautiful thing than the trends: nature, water, animals, flowers, dogs, the air i breathe, and im learning to appreciate these things more and more everyday!! this website and others had been a big help. i wont to get a better understanding of the world, myself, and others. a DEEP understanding. im young but ill pursue it. i want to make children happy, old people laugh, and love everyone. NO MATTER if they like me or not. i want people to feel positive energy RADIATING from my skin. I first started out with becoming a vegetarian. its not my first time trying..but i usually give up things that are long term and that i have to work hard to accomplish. i wont this time. why am i practicing vegetarianism? well.. i have thought hard about this... i have realized that the hamburgers i use to eat.. were once a LIVING creature. it had a face.. ears... a body. fur. warmth. and it lived on the same planet we do. it was a mother, father, or calf. a poor, defenseless animal that was slaughtered. i couldnt possibly... NO WAY IN HELL, approach an animal and kill it. i wouldnt. id rather live off the veggies in my garden. so thats why i am trying this out. no meat or animals. Next.. i have transitioned into a more... "hippie" lifestyle. ive done my research and i know that everyone has their own opinion about what a hippie truely means. i believe that it means someone who stands up for what they believe in, someone who doesnt care they are different, who loves being themself, who loves nature and doesnt believe in "material" things such as: the latest tvs, phones, cars, fancy things. the flowers, rainbows, peace signs, and long hair is apart of it to i want to believe there is a good in everyone. in everything. war and the ugliness is stupid. i like to have fun. in peace! this planet would be so much better off if people actually got along. loved one another. brother in sister. hand in hand. peace. simple... i move on to my first objective... i want to get to know ME. not who everyone thinks i am, or wants me to be. but who i actually am.... but i need some help. i need comments, quotes, advice, examples, stories, or anything else. right now im not lost... but i dont know where i am. i wouldnt consider this a bad thing. im enjoying the ride. so if anyone has anything for me... through it my way!! love always, christine marie. PEACE

Jesus that was beautiful, man! I feel like you and I are the same. I agree & relate to everything you wrote. You are wise beyond your years. LET'S BE BUDS!
Great introduction! I can also relate. Nice to see that there are more people of this generation that actually have their own minds and aren't just following the status quo. If you'd like to talk, hit me up. Welcome to the boards!
Hi christine welcome to the Community. I am the same way, 15 was my highlight, I realized life is just life. No reason to hate in a world so beautiful, why would you hate me for the way I dress, or how I look, or even how I talk. We are all humans, the second I realized that, my life changed. Heres some advice, dont change. Keep up the thoughts you have and never change them for anyone, dont act different around certain people and never question your own thoughts. The things that pop up the quickest in your head are your emotions. (Or thoughts pushed onto your subconscious mind by your social environment) One last piece of advice: Explore different cultures, languages, religions, political standpoints, meat eaters, EVERYTHING! Its very enlightening. Good too have another hippie at the hip forums Peace
maine is an awesome place you should go to the GREEN LOVE festival in starks this august. gonna be a good time it always is!
