I Sometime Think I Was Born In the Wrong Era

There was no doubt some bad stuff about that era too. Smoking, poor hygiene, bad health, lack of opportunities for women and many more. How about this? How about isolating the values that you admire about that bygone era and trying to live by them in a modern way?

You can greet people with other than "hey".
You can dress well.
You can demand respect of any suitors.
You can choose well and marry for life.
You can banish personal electronics to their rightful time and place.
You can find and enjoy good music and poetry.
You can set boundaries on your amourous activities.
You can gather indoors while offering appropriately supervised unscheduled time for your children=n to play.

No need to long for Little House on the Prairie or Downton Abbey; just pick the best aspects and weave them into your modern life.

Good day miss.

I wish we could extract the positive of the days gone by and insert them in modern society... I'm with you, dear. This coming from a person that is told dresses like a nun and behaves like a grandmother

Awful things are wherever you go, life has It's ups and downs, but focusing on negatives won't get you anywhere, the original author only said she missed the qualities life today lacks.

Oh yes...those beautiful times when chicken pox and crime was rampant across the country. A time before bathrooms. Where stepping on crap was common.
I love those days to the bone! <333

All true. But we women had little rights back then. And not all of it is a fairytale. But, yeah, would have been nice to experience the manners and polite prettiness.

I do miss some of that. Courting a woman is great fun. Lost on the hookup generation.

Yep, courting seems to be a thing of the past now. It's the hookup generation.

30s?
