When vintage was cool

Remember the days when you didn’t need a phone to get a date? Television didn’t matter because there were millions of books to read. A woman didn’t need her cleavage showing to get a man’s attention. All she needed to do was respect herself and be kind. There was no provocative dancing and disrespectful words spoken in every sentence. Men opened the car door and brought flowers just because he felt like it. Having a picnic at the park with you’re family and having fun wasn’t unusual. Long lasting marriages didn’t suprise people. These were the days of respect and good people. The older generations have experienced life so differently than we have. They didn’t have screens in they’re face at all times. Nobody was taking a million pictures at every event because they didn’t need to. A picture could never capture the emotions they felt in that moment. They lived for the moment itself and remembered it without needing to capture it on a phone. Kids could play outside and nobody batted an eye about it because it was normal. We fought with hands instead of weapons. People didn’t want to deliberately hurt others around them just for fun and games. I may not have been born when things were this way, but I wish I had a Time Machine. I wish I could go back and experience one day of that life. A life I could be proud of. A generation of human beings I could be proud of. These were the days that history was made because it will never be the same, and that breaks my heart. everything was so simple. Happiness didn’t come from pills and alcohol. It came from living a full life and having conversation with the people you love in person. Everybody today is so restricted to they’re cell phones. Do people remember when you had to read the news on a sheet of paper? everybody is so consumed with screens. Maybe one day everybody will just look up for once. Maybe then the world can start to look up as well.
