21 Throwback Photos From When Life Was Simpler

Life was not always this way, you know. Well, of course you know. You remember the days of the rotary phone, playing outside, not caring what is going on in the rest of the world. Just living the local life that we humans were always destined to live. Within our communities, with focus and purpose given to time spent together and away from the influence of screens and media.

It was a simpler time, a freer time even, where judgment was far more reserved and internalized and there was no social media platform around to cancel a person. Sure it was not perfect in any way, and in many ways our lives today are much better. But there is no denying that the spontaneity and freedom that once existed has faded into the not so distant past. So kick back and get ready for a taste of what life was really like, when things were simpler in the world.

It seems that the freedom that water brings has not changed in the slightest over the years. It is really rather wonderful looking back and seeing that while our image of life before our time feels muted and mundane, it was anything but that. If anything, in many ways it was far more colorful and crazy than life is today.
