National Retro Day
On February 27, National Retro Day brings us right back to a time before smartphones and the internet.
"Remember when?" Every generation looks back and asks, "Remember when?" Although remaining in the present, this commemoration honors our admiration for the good old days.
No matter the decade, choose a time when people talked more face to face than text to text, had dinner at home, and the kids enjoyed games that didn't require internet access, regardless of the decade.
What is your retro? What is your retro? Swoop the hair into a mile-high beehive or strut those eight-inch bell bottoms on National Retro Day. Can you curl curls for a stunning Afro? Can you curl curls for a stunning Afro? Don't hesitate to take out the old roller skates and see if you still have those mad skills. Tie the hair up with a polka dot bandana and strike muscle pose like Rosie the Riveter. Perhaps you like a moonwalk, a leather jacket, and a single glove.
We spent more time on each other than we did when we were together, with no smartphones, internet, or social media. Each moment is recorded in memory for us to look back in memory, not for the entire world to see.
