If you are for some reason reading this blog, you might have some sort of longing for the past, right?
If you don't, then, good for you.
If you do, then, you're like me. I am always thinking about the past. Whether it be the Mary Pickford movie I saw the other day, or the strange tingling sensation I get when I hear anything about the 1890s-1940s, or maybe the 1950s. I know that a lot of people say that they feel like they should have been born in the past. Truthfully, I think that those people can be a little annoying and a bit stupid. (Sorry for the harsh words). But, I am also one of those people. I'm sure that to other people I am annoying and stupid. Of course, i've never really expressed my longing for the past and how much I really wish I could go back in time.

Why do I think those people are annoying and dumb? I don't think everyone who ever said that they wish they lived in the past is stupid. I think that people who say that they wish they lived in the past for a bad reason are a bit annoying. For example, many people my own age say that they would love to live the 1920s. (I can't stand when people say the "Roaring 20s". It really gets on my nerves. Why? I don't really know.) Why do you think they want to go back in time to the 1920s? So that they can be flappers and go out partying all the time. What's the point of going through all the trouble to get back in time just so they can do the same thing that people do today? Dress in tight, short skirts and dresses and go out drinking and partying bars all night. Or another example, when people say they wish they lived in the 1950s because they like the fashion. Liking the fashion is a fine reason. I don't think that should be your only reason, but it isn't really a bad one. The other which I don't like very much is when they say that they want to live in the 1950s because of the whole housewife thing. They act as if housewives weren't a "thing" until the year 1950. Housewives have been around since the first day of the human race, I think. They were around in the 1950s, the 1940s, the 1930s, the 1920s, the 1910s, the 1900s, the 1800s, etc. So, I don't think that that is a very good reason to want to go back in time. Heck, there are still housewives today.

Just to share a little bit of my knowledge, housewives became a really commercialized(Correct my if i'm wrong, which I probably am) thing. The second world war was just ending, and much of the population was dead. It was put in the hands of the married people to repopulate the country, which included a stay at home mother or I guess a housewife. (I read this somewhere on the internet).

I used to feel like I belonged in the 1930s, because I loved all the fashion and style and etiquette and everything.  I still do. I love it very very much. But, I later realized that the 1930s was really just the 1920s with lots of poverty. Kind of, right? There were a lot of inappropriate themes and all that that were being spread all over he place. Don't ask me for an example, because I really can't tell you any. I might be totally wrong, but that is just how I feel. Now, I have begun to feel pulled towards the very beginning of the 1900s. So, the year 1900 to around 1920. I have begun to wish that I was born in the year 1900 or maybe somewhere around it, or around the year 1910. Just so I could live through the 1900s, the 1910s, the 1920s, the 1930s, etc., unless I died early. I switched to an early time because I felt like people were much more proper and restrained or whatever in the 1910s and all.

I get either very excited and happy when I think about being transported back in time to the 1910s (or around there) or very sad and lonesome for it, because part of me knows that I will never be able to experience that kind of excitement and happiness. But, i'm sure i'm just crazy.

Do you have any feelings for the past? Do you feel like you had some sort of past life in the earlier years of time? Do you just want more then anything to go back in time? Tell me about it in the comments and I can write a new post about it and we could have a conversation or something.

Thank you.
