I think it's safe to say that all of us here do quite like a bit of nostalgia! 😉 But there's also lots of great things about the world we live in in this particular day and age. Sure there are lots of problems in the modern world but there's never been time in history that has been without it's problems, and there never will be. So what I'd like to know is what you all think are the most brilliant things about today's world.
For me it's the progress that's being made in technology, healthcare, women's rights etc. We're more aware of environmental issues and what needs to be done than previous generations. I also like that people today have the freedom to be who they want to be and not what society wants them to be. I like that there's a mixed race woman in the royal family, something that I never thought was possible growing up, and as the mother of mixed race kids, I'm glad that we now live in a world where my kids are seen as no different to anyone else's, and are no longer a source of fascination or disgust.
That's just a few examples but I'd love to hear your thoughts. 😊
One thing I like about living in this age is that women are not shamed for being single mothers. In fact I think today a lot of kids grow up either with a single parent or in a blended family. My mom was a single mother who raised two little girls by herself. Growing up in a small town in the 1980s that wasn't easy. My mom often had to deal with gossip and speculation (even though there was nothing to gossip about) and me and my sister sometimes had to deal with unkind comments. I'm glad that today people are more understanding and raising children by yourself isn't something to be frowned on.
