You are definitely not alone.

It makes no sense. I was raised to question authority and I have always eagerly complied. I have stood up to bullies, teachers, dangerous men in a violent mood, bosses, and even the CEO of a company I worked for in the 90’s (I blush to think of how earnest I was). DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO. Unless you have the power to give me a ticket or fine me or just point out that I have been imperfect. Then I will melt into a sad spill of embarrassed tears, even as I very carefully toe that straight and narrow line. Sigh. Good to know I’m not alone.

And that’ll sound good, too. You’re a “Hippie at Heart” :)…hmmm…could be a premise for a story? That may be something you’d really enjoy writing, I would think 🙂

YES!!! I am a hippie at heart : ) Thank you for helping me get here, Donna. I will have to add this to my list xo

So then me thinks that, although you may not behave like a hippie, you’re one at heart 🙂

It’s odd but I don’t think of them as “they.” That makes them sound too far away from me. But oh yes, free birds.

Maybe the “trouble” didn’t affect me as deeply as it did you, or maybe you had more desire to please your parents? Or perhaps, you wanted the adventure, but weren’t willing to risk the negatives which, of course, hippies were known for; they rebelled against society and did all the “wrong” but perceived “cool” things–sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. They were free birds.

Donna, see I don’t know why I didn’t have a path similar to yours–not liking the trouble but doing what I wanted anyway… And this thing came to mind b/c after that post about following rules, I kept wondering why in the world I was such a rule follower. It didn’t make any sense to me. It was never anything I aspired to. Then I wrote the hippies post, which only made it all seem weirder. Then I remembered the Latin Convention…
