Am I A Hippy?
Recently, I was at a gas station refilling. Two guys at the next pump were trying to "talk" to me and one commented, "Oh, she's one of those hippy chicks." I wasn't interested in any advances, but still, the encounter left me wondering, what exactly is a "hippy chick," and was that supposed to be a compliment or an insult, and also, what about me indicated hippy chic? I do drive a small economical 4-cylinder car. I do wear my make-up in a natural way (unless I'm angry or going out). And I have long, blondish-red, natural curly hair that I usually wear loose or if it is being unruly... I will braid it. (I used to try to straighten my hair or blow it straight ot tame it with a curling iron, but I long ago decided to embrace what I have). Let's see, what else? I am a bit of a country girl being raised by my father and step-mother with two brothers and another two brothers with my real mother. (May I add that my Mother is very much a free- spirit, at 50yrs she rides her harley with her beau and friends and lives for the beach). I feel the most comfortable in my jeans though I do like to get dressed up. Being the oldest and raised with all boys, I love the wilderness... I love camping in the Fall, hinking, biking, fishing. I find myself at peace the most when I'm cuddling with my dog or laying in my hammock. I love setting up birdfeeder and birdbath and windchimes around my hammock. That is my "chill" spot. So, maybe I am a child of a flowerchild. I am disgusted by the condition of our environment and I am frustrated by the lack of effort put forth to at least slow down our destruction. I have little faith or trust in government. Am I a hippy chick?
