Atleast according to my understanding- A boheme person is a person who lives in an unconventional way. His or her home is something out of the ordinary & definitely out of peoples comfort zone. Their fashion sense- is not necessarily within societies norm nor are their habits. A boheme life style consists of caring for your environment (totally optional though) & attempting to beautify it even when the environment is literally a shit-hole.
This I found many articles & blogs of boheme living with many warehouse photos attached to them. Many places where a normal persons nightmare of living quarters while for the boheme individual it was a Simons in the rough. Through out these blogs they transformed these spaces into amazing, very personalized living spaces. Something that also amazes me because I’m majoring in architecture.
I once looked up (& eventually researched extensively) how to live in a more boheme manner. What I got from that research was that, living a boheme life is like being a modern day hippie/gypsy/hipster/hepcat. An outcast that is disliked by normal society. Whatever normal society even means.
Here are a few links I took a peek at:
warehouse living in Houston & almost bohemian
So I thought about what I learned. But self analyzed myself & I definitely didn’t live as a gypsy. My home wasn’t moveable nor did I -not- have a job. Nor did I see myself as a hippie, I wasn’t into colorful tie dye & drug usage, although I did express somewhat of a nonchalant attitude more than half the time I was conscious & breathing. A hipster by definition is a person who combines many fashions into one & rock that look. Well.. I don’t personally care for fashion, let alone tons of them so as to attempt to even rock such a scene. And well second, I honestly don’t care for scarfs, glasses, plaid or odd looking headwear. So I’m not a hipster -& yes I understand that saying that you aren’t a hipster, automatically makes you one. But I assure you (readers) that that certainly isn’t the case here. Lastly a hepcat- the old & passé fashion of the early 90’s of which modern hipsters aim to replicate but utterly fail. I’m definitely not that bit do I try to replicate it.
So the bottom line.
I am not a hipster. I don’t aim to be one. What I am is yet to be identified -even unto myself. What I am trying to live is a boheme lifestyle. Nothing more & nothing less.
I’ll definitely touch on this subject more in another blog. But I believe that I’ve found what I want my blog to be about. About my slow transformation, the rejection & allergy to the fashion of rejection (which I am absolutely not trying to be a super hipster (haha just the thought of that). I’ll be sharing my stories of last year, deduction making & my progress of this year. & I’ll definitely be uploading many photos.
So I’ll just leave it at this for now.
