\t\t\t\tDear old hippy,
\nhello my name is kimber and i am 17 years old. A lot of my friends
\nhave left town to join a thing called the renaissance festival. Right
\nnow it is in arizona I really want to join but everyone thinks it is a
\nbad idea since you live out of a tent and it doesn’t pay well. I also
\nhave considered dropping out of school because i am getting really
\nantcy to go and join. My dad thinks I should go to college and get a
\nnice home grow up and raise a family. The only thing is I don’t want
\nto live a normal life I want to be free to be my self and try somthing
\nmost people don’t get to experience. I still plan on going no matter I
\nhave my parents blessing or not but how can I make them understand, I
\ndon’t want to leave and everyone think I was just trying to escape.
\nIt is something in my heart. <\/p>\n

\nThanks\n<\/p>\n


\nDear Kimber,
\n I think the Renaissance Festivals are cool! You really get to leave
\nthe material lifestyle and explore a completely different way of living.
\nLike a gypsy. This is very close to the hippy lifestyle. You’ll meet some
\ninteresting people and learn about all sorts of alternative things. If your
\nfriends are going, then it’s better since you won’t be on your own. I don’t
\nthink any harm will come to you if you’re smart. <\/p>\n

\n But convincing your parents of this is another story. Just remember
\nthat doing this doesn’t exclude you from going to college and having a
\nfamily. If you feel in your heart that this is right, and you don’t go,
\nthen you’ll wish you had done it the rest of your life. Like I had the
\nchance to do Woodstock and didn’t. How do you think I feel now?\n<\/p>\n
