The journal of a hippie

We are young and we are free. We are financially responsible for nothing apart from ourselves. We lead life with one purpose- to find the purpose in life. We live everyday trying to answer all the 'why's... To attain a deeper understanding of all that is around us.
We are spontaneous. We make rash decisions. We don't have many consequences to worry about. We observe...we experience. We discover new places and people and emotions, analysing and judging everything that comes our way.

We may have an emotional responsibility towards friends and family which may limit our impulsiveness. However, being young, we are blessed with an emotional flexibility which is sometimes misunderstood as instability.

We pretend we have all the time in the world. Deep inside, we fear that one day we will mistake our youthfulness as immaturity and sink deep into a life of tedium. We fear that the monotony will get to our minds and we will no longer think for ourselves. We will no longer be free. We will lose our emotional versatility and our emotional responsibility will become a burden .We fear we our hearts will die before our bodies do.

We are young and we are free. We live everyday trying our best to fulfil our purpose because its not too late yet.
