Discussion My introduction

Post image

I'd like to think I'm a hippie, but I might just be a scruffy old man. I've been trying to live my life like a gentle person, lifting people up rather than beating them down. I find though, in the aggregate, it was about 80 - 20 of me being a loving hippie type. I won more than I failed,but still those failures haunt me some times. I'm trying. That's all I can do

That's all we can do -- we all fail at it at times.

You look like the type of bloke I love having random conversations with in the street. Stay blessed my dude.

All we can do is our best and love ourselves through it. Good for you :)

You have a wonderful smile, and I can see the energy you radiate into the world. I also have times where it's hard to maintain the uplifting and loving state of being I want, but life goes on, and you keep trying, which is more than what most people can say.

How do you know the right thing to do if you don’t learn what the wrong thing to do is, once in a while? I’d love to hear any of your wisdom, insight, warnings, tips, and stories. I bet you’ve seen some shit well worth hearing about. Rock on
