Would you rather live 100 years in the past or 100 years in the future?

Great question! I feel like I’m an old soul, so I’d lean toward living 100 years in the past. Think about it—back then, there were no cell phones or internet, so people truly connected face-to-face. Conversations happened naturally, and social gatherings were how you stayed in touch and engaged with others. You had to live in the moment, be present, and there was such a strong sense of community. Life may have been simpler and less convenient, but I feel like people were often more connected to each other and to the world around them.
