“AJ, the hybrid hippie, is a little mainstream grit and a little woo island grace.”
welcome.
kick off your shoes, stay awhile.
while hybrid is defined above, the term “hybrid hippie” has its own rare origin.
a phrase born through a brief encounter. a passing conversation with a stranger in my early 20s. yet, looking back, this stranger has been sealed forevermore in the “reason” as opposed to “season” or “lifetime” categories of human encounters. a conversation filled with laughter and vulnerability; a sharing of interests and qualities that seemed a bit divergent from our “mainstream” appearances. the stranger continued on their path, but this phrase has stayed. through the shifts. through the lessons. a tiny seed planted in my brain…blossoming into an idea…rooted in connection.
as humans, we’re brilliantly unique. multifaceted. through life, we go about learning+experiencing. piece by piece we’re put together, comprised of different and perfectly imperfect parts. beliefs...interests...growing alongside one another. creating. forming.
a kaleidoscope of life and love and loss and meaning and purpose and people and everything in between. twirling. strength in the millions of separate pieces, together. a mosaic of human lessons, experiences, interests, thoughts, feelings, beliefs...a hybrid.
true beauty, found in the sum of its mixed parts.
accepting this finely tuned, delicate nature. balancing a little mainstream grit with a little woo island grace.
welcome, to the hybrid hippie.
