City Girl Meets Hippie Chick

City Girl Meets Hippie Chick

Ahhh, spring has sprung. It’s 83 and sunny today. (Insert content sighs and distant daydreams of all the fun outdoor activities to come…)

On my way into the office I passed by the cutest little hippie chick with LONG dreadlocks. She was standing in a grassy median on a beautiful street in my current city just hula hoopin’ away,totally happy, all alone, not a care in the world- just loving being out in the sunshine. Awesomeness. I love coming across people like this who own who they are/what they do and could care less if anyone is watching or not. 

As I just Googled “hula hoop”, to my pleasant surprise this website popped up. There’s the photo of the day with more peeps just livin’ it up and hoppin’ happily, in the snow even! They just so happen to fit the exact vibe of todays chica I am writing about and they’re back in Vermont, my birth state too. 
This all made me think; No matter how many cities I live in, how much glitter I wear and even though I’m a sucker for tall buildings, bright lights and complete chaos, I will always be that same (as many people tease me lovingly) “Friggin’ Vermont Hippie” sorta like these peeps. Thankfully something as simple as a sight on a drive to work can make me instantly channel my chill, earth, peace-lovin’ roots and appreciate where I came from. I should grow some good dreads to sport with my heels so I can show on the outside what I feel on the inside. It’d be like two great and opposite worlds colliding in harmony. I like the sounds of that.
I love spring and all the things that come along with it.
I Hate to run, but I have a date with a patio at an ale house. Man life is hard when it’s 83 and sunny and my toughest decision during my afternoon work meeting with my sweet job is pilsner or lager…
