What is a Hippie?
Alternative Lifestyles and Subcultures
my mind associates the word hippie with straight up peace and love. I see flowers and smiles and dancing ring around the rosy style. I see a massive movement of people coming together realizing that they love each other. I see revolutionaries that started a message that changed my life even 40 years later..When people call me a hippie, I just smile and accept it. I am dirty! I do stink! I don't shave! I dance like a maniac! I grow my veggies and make my clothes and cloth diaper and hug strangers till they hug me back! People may think it's silly.. but wait til I hug them too! They'll change their mind!As far as being straight up offended by someone calling you a hippie.. or anything else for that matter.. my only advice is to LET IT GO!! People are changing but until they do, they love to put everything in boxes.. so let them.. you're not in a box and you know it.. so just let it pass by.. show by example that whatever they want to classify you as.. its in the positive box!
