HIPPIE. FREE SPIRIT. FLOWER-CHILD. These are terms that have become trends for our new generation. Which is a good thing because it means we have  more enlightened people in our generation, people who are not afraid to speak their truth and be their authentic selves. But do people really know what it means to be a hippie a flower child? It goes beyond dressing like one, all of this has has to do with a person's soul, the healing gifts a person has, a beautiful soul, the lifestyle one leads and finally it is about having a free and clear aura and spirit. A person can be dressed in a suit and still be a hippie because of their lifestyle, spirit and mind.  To get a better understanding of a flower-child and basically this entire phenomena and what it entails, let us hear from someone who identifies herself as a flower-child.  I interviewed Keaoleboga Ontlametse Nkashe about what being a flower-child means to her.

With everything that is happening in the world right now, from terrorist attacks to the past racial issues the entire world has been facing...i think it is now time for us to do some self introspection . Thing about most people is that they never want to self introspect, because it is "too deep" everything has become too deep these days, even observing your life so that you can better it has become "too deep". As a result we continue behaving in a conditioned manner. This introspection will allow us to look at another human being as a soul who has the same  human experiences as you, goes through sadness, excitement, happiness, joy, fear and anxiety, and every other emotion like you, wants to be loved and have people they love just like you. This goes beyond any  power hungry individuals and countries, or coming from different countries or anything that supposedly separates us such as race or gender. This is about realizing that it is important to love one another; loving someone you don't know? well lets start by thinking about all your loved one , those you love dearly and are willing to die for...well  everyone has those people in their lives, that is what makes us human our ability to love and reciprocate that love! You are not a different "kind of human" because of your outer appearance, the power you have or where you come from,

Surrendering to the divine

These past couple of weeks, actually the entire year, have been confusing and heavy for me. At the end of last year I made a decision to take control of my life and stop being so timid and stop waiting for everything to fall on my lap. However this has been mentally exhausting, I unconsciously took over the position of God in my life. I was trying to figure out how different puzzles of my life are suppose to come together, now this is soooo difficult when you don't know what the future holds, which situations and people are meant to be in your life to help you grow and not to stay.
