I'm a Hippie Girl

Already in my school times I was called hippie girl because I went barefoot, rarely showered and didn't shave me. It wasn't that I decided me to become a hippie, it was always the others who called me that, mostly to tease me. But I quickly realized that this term fits to me. Yes, I was a hippie girl, I'm be it still today. And I'm proud of that.

To be a hippie means for me not to cosplay the 60s/70s, but to be close with our nature, to question all the restrictions and norms of this society and just have your own mind.

While the other girls at my school began getting dolled up and going to parties, I preferred to hike through the woods and enjoy the nature. I never used make-up or wore expensive brand-name clothes. I haven't tried to conform me to the expectations of others, or let myself be forced into social conventions that're pointless and superfluous for me.

I'm just me. A grubby hippie chick, so what?

Do you visit to hippie musical events?

ChildOfNature · 26-30, F

Yeah, I was on several, but more seldom. Too big events aren't really my thing.

@ChildOfNature That's very cool. because i guess, it feels more spiritual, isn't it?

ChildOfNature · 26-30, F

Partly, yes. Depends on the event. Sometimes is it truly a very nice experience.

@ChildOfNature Where can you find that kind of spiritual music? Do you know about guitarist called Estas Tonne. And people who play flute and handpan.

Sometimes there are smaller festivals here who I live with this kind of music. The New Healing Festival for example. There I actually heard Estas Tone live once, I guess. But to be honest, I don't really know much about music, bands and musicians.
