I would live life, going out with no holds barred. Working at a local shop a simple job, and live life going into jazz bars with a lady or two. Being all cool, having a few friends, but very poor, but very daring and adventurous I don't need the money, because I could the make my life comfortable with what I had at it's simplicity. I know it sounds weird, but I would go back in time. I'd love to be a musician then playing the trumpet and piano, becoming a huge act dancing and getting the whole crowd clapping and pumping then slow it down to crazy chill timey stuff.

I know this sounds weird as a post, but I like that stuff a lot. I feel I'd rather go back in time if possible and relive things and take on roles being a new me fitting the part leaving behind everything as a journey.

Be the best you you can be going forward

Enjoy simplicity and never deny yourself the things that you enjoy.

I bet there would be a few things I would change too, if I could .....

[Yismymindblank12]

I am filled with so much nostalgia I don't know where it comes from, I don't have roots directly not sure indirectly, but I'm more nostalgic about living in the moment stuck in one time and living it out.

I feel the things I like are very vintage, I felt my greatest moments in my life in inspiration when I was most immersed in the old. The stuff that feels like it has weight on it from being old. I like feeling I don't belong in a place that's ever so changing embracing the change, but against and far away from all the sheep of the herd. Minding my own looking back at the successes of others long before I was born and take it straight from them. Be how they are as myself by being the best me, but I felt when I used to look out an old window sill of a late 19th century or 20th century old german built homes. I love the urban archaic vibe feeling like I went back a hundred years ago. Living in the greatest time where the future present and past are all in one.

I love the rain, out here in the spring and summer. It's my favorite time of the year. I just sit out their listen to the drops and watch the drenched plants and seeing how the lights changed the spectrum of colors through the droplets off these old buildings I'm stuck in. A hanging ceiling fan slowly passing by back and forth rotating ever so slightly. When I look outside, look at the tiny garden I used to see at my grandparents house as a little boy feeling like it was a mansion there with the fancy old trim and a basement made out of clay and old brick. The mold and the dampness of what used to be what people lived in a century ago still here today. Growing up seeing the world in a mix of so much of history, but lots of culture that's been left behind.

I'd rather live somewhere in an old house either in the middle of my city or out in the farm houses in the middle of nowhere. When the summer comes and the tall grass grows lay down and walk through the fields. Alone and just gaze at what I see forgetting everything I have here.

A lot of people don't understand me, because I don't understand them. I feel they live a life full of working their self into feeling that they can't amount to anything so I have to take everyone around me down who would be doing better than I am. Being around a place where to reach where I'm at, you have to damage yourself for self gratification of drugs and feeling like you can't achieve it on your own.

When maybe I was probably born with a brain that works like LSD 24/7. I hear the world around me, I see sound, I feel sound, I look at colors, look at the sky and the rain the most and in certain areas my inspiration is best there, because I feel and see what started it in the first place.

My grandparents place has always inspired me and is my favorite house growing up. I felt living purely urban at a very young age, before moving to the country shown me what I loved the most. I didn't care about growing up going to school or even trying to save the world. I was already all the things I've ever wanted to be before my life got hard at 4 year's old till now. I knew that my happiness was this knowing. I'm not going anywhere. I'm existing here, in this clock that keeps ticking and deep in the world like a painted picture spilling more and more paint clockwise mixing so many colors and seeing and feeling what I experience.

Hence, I'm not on drugs btw. It's just what I literally experience in life. I like anything that makes me feel immersed. Especially old comic's from the 60's and 70's about space exploration, and living in what they truly felt then. I can do that pretty easily. I felt it was so amazing to live in a the expanse of when man finally hit the moon. Electronic devices finally are showing up to the houses more, and that social injustice and the things we fight now, started from the 60's when it truly kicked off. The feeling of immersion not just trying to get a groove on or watching your normal family sitcom in front of the tube adjusting the wires on the shag carpet. Seeing and living in time capsules I was exposed to so much from the past from a first hand. I understand what's really going on now, than most people. I didn't live in those times or was born there, but I truly felt how exciting and terrifying to live everything they do and how every day to day life was.

I finally know that all life now, these trends are repeating again. It's like the 60's again, but I'm waiting for something to change out of it.

If you are confused on what I'm saying. I tend to feel and think like this all the time so it's normal don't be alarmed and I get confused on it too.

i've often thought of going back.

not because i liked it, but because at least i had some idea who i was back then

[Koko2]

I'd like to go back to MY 20's and 30's and do that stuff.

[IchbinkeinTeufel]

Sounds wonderful. I think I feel similarly.

[Yismymindblank12]

Hold on are we talking about the age or the decade. I was talking about the decade. I'm confused lol. I'm 21 just turned 21. lol I'm enjoying it now and work out to keep it youthful

[magical loser]

well life did look a lot less complicated back then but i would miss a lot of things from now...

[LiteraryLark]

The 1920s is a wonderful place if you're a white, wealthy, and privileged man. Not so much if you are a woman, black, asian, or any other non-priveleged race.

[Yismymindblank12]

Well. I'd personally pick my own way, I'd like to be a woman in the 20's despite the what I'd have to go through. I'd feel I'd be more free in my own decisions, but realistically. I would worry if anyone was shaming my name with things negative that everyone would believe. It's sad, but I feel I'd make it worth it. Very true.

[JJBX]

Except for the not so great medicine, poor road conditions, questionable food quality standards, uneven educational standards, and generally lax hygiene. I think it'd be much cooler to do something like a RenFest, but for 20s style dive bars. The RenFests around the country basically combine all of the best hits from the dark ages, the renaissance, and storybooks, but offer some modern conveniences to ensure less disease and discomfort.

Sadly those norms are still here, and won't leave till men see it from themselves indoctrinated as a whole society to understand how women should be treated as humans, not as objects of a house hold item to be protected.

I would love to be a woman at the time, even though I'm a man. I'd love to experience the hardships, but experience the tribulations of how the women's rights movement started in that time from drunken men of domestic violence ending up in the white house of the talk of the nation of america at it's time. The first true national women's rights' movement happened then, and it gave women the opportunity to vote not just men. It may not seem like a big deal now, but then it was the biggest deal. Women finally had a the biggest impact on the next election, sadly Warren G Harding (at the time his disapproval ratings and still today by statistics compared to obama we much higher than obama now," was a baffoon and a drunk who gambled his money and bought prostitutes despite making alcohol illegal for all americans lower than him, but women who voted him in who were just your plain jane average 1920's 1910's american voted him because he was physically attractive. I don't know if that's true, but that's what I read, kinda like how we picked obama for being black, which yes it was an achievement for american history, but not necessarily for america.

I would love to find out a lot about where the idea of when women's beauty started, I know women were idolized and over sexualized at that time to originally to where it's at now. I would like to know first hand, how women did what they had to do. At that time, not many women know that those women are the reason feminism exists today. It became an international movement, I don't know how it spread or started in other countries, but in america it was small and isolated before the 1920's.

The fact I could be a woman in black and white or silent films could be awesome. Walking on the cold cobble streets with cars going by and trolleys and people making a big mess like tokyo. Walking high heels, and the trendiest clothes disobeying my parents, who wanted me to wear a fancy dress and be an object by wearing the dress, when I didn't care I could be with a man out on a dance party in a night club drinking at the speakesie and dancing to jazz music under candle lights. This time was a very romantic and excellent time, but very unsanitary and dangerous of course with the influenza and polio small pox so on, but I find it would come with it's risks.

Sorry my imagination gets' the best of me at times.
