Came a long way

Do you ever wonder how it would have been to live in the times our grandparents and great grandparents grew up in? I do, and it interests me how much we truly are privileged to live in a time where technology is advanced and people are more accepting (for the most part). Where both sets of my great grandparents lived was not like how it is now,  Guam and Mexico back then were both unstable places, one being the setting of the war and the other a rural desert where you have your own a farm just to get food. Imagine having to harvest everything on the farm or being in the middle of gunshots and chaos as a kid. I know this goes for many of your grandparents as well, since back then was full of historic events and things we definitely haven't had to go through. Just imagine being in their shoes, going from what were accustomed to now to what they went through. I find it amazing how far things have came, and to know our own relatives lived through it.

  1. I think the times our grandparents lived in was more social than it is now. Since technology is so advanced now, everyone is always on their phones, laptops, iPads,etc. No one is as social as it used to be back then. Im glad my childhood consisted of playing outside and being active than the kids in their childhood now.
