One thing that all continents, decades, and everyone in general have in common is that people have always known how to have fun and enjoy the moment, no matter where they are or who they are with.
Before social media existed and people started doing everything based on what they were going to upload and show to strangers, people just lived in the moment and took a pause just to smile.
These pictures really show how people used to live their best life at all times, whether on vacation or at home savoring the daily life. It’s proof that happiness is always around the corner.
