How have you/your life changed since joining hipforums?

Maybe hipforums hasn't changed you much as a person (or maybe it has), but looking back to the time you joined hipforums and looking at yourself/your life now, what has changed?

Have you been married? Had kids? Graduated? Divorced?

Do you feel you are any different than you were when you first joined?

I thought this thread would be a good way to see how we have all grown, as it made me think about how I have changed thanks to a few email's I recieved from a few good friend's of mine.

You know who you are

How have you changed since joining hipforums?

 

Yeah. I'm sure I have. A lot. But yet I'm always the same. It's kinda crazy.

I met some great people here that I hang out with often.



oh and id say ive changed in one way cause ive learned a lot and got older... haha....

ummm and there are a few people i dont hang out with but really need to sometime. they know who they are.

 

i was a freshman in college when i first joined... i've been through lots of changes in the 5-6 years since then...


it would probably be easier to list what hasn't changed...

 

I have been married and divorced since i joined

and I make more money now

 

Oh wow. I joined the forums when I was 18. I was naive, I still believed that all people were good deep down and I was more trusting back then. I had more hopes and dreams about my future and everything seemed possible. I had just started college and was taking the classes that didn't interest me at all but they were required.

Over the years I have become more cynical. I don't trust many people and I have given up on most of my hopes and dreams. In fact my professor smirked at my passion for art yesterday. She is one of my education professors but she works part time at a museum here in Georgia. I guess she doesn't think my artwork is good enough to be called art. Meh whatever.

In the beginning of my forum days I knew what I wanted out of life. Now, now I'm not so sure.

 

i'm more violent and anti-hippy now

 

Hmmmmm.....
that's interesting...

 

I joined when I was 15, so, its been fun.

 

I would have been fresh out of the army then.

 

i kid i kid

i changed a lot. lots of ups and downs. gone through 5 years of college. i've gone through many stages of optimism and pessimism - right now, i'm pretty optimisitc about life. really don't know where i'm heading, but thats fine, i've become more comfortable with going with the flow.

 

since i joined HF ive started to lose respect for psychedelics, which was the reason i joined here in the first place.

 

that's funny, since i got here i started losing respect for hippies

aha, uhm. i was 14. So lets see. I got more boobage. Dropped outa highschool(still gona graduate on time tho), errr...got my permit....i lost some people i love i got a new best friend. I dont think much changed really other then the random disease. That was a bummer. I think i gained some weight too.

 

How old are you now, VG?

 

17

 

Though so. As old as my liil sis

 

I'm getting married to a forumer on June 23rd When i first joined I was in a shitty engagement and was really lost.

 

y did u lose respect for psychedelics?

ive only been on these forums for a couple months but ive met a lot of interesting ppl and learned a lot of new things...i hope i can stay on here for a while

 

I work a little more and have more money now.. oh and I get high more. I went through a cycle where I became less people-friendly and now I'm almost back to my old loving self. and lastly, but most importantly, I've gotten four months closer to my trip!

 

Although it's only been a year, there have been some changes. When I joined here, I was still stuck in the past and what might have been...Not any more.

 

that's good... mines kinda the same but not five years at your school. haha.

i work in small goals.
