I love how they seem so kind about it. Some people who try and live in the past like to remind people who enjoy living in the modern era how ignorant they are to the way things were before, but this couple just wants to live their dreams and don’t seem to concern themselves with the way others live their life. I like that.
I think this is wonderful. They clearly are aware of reality (no mental health issues there- at least not from the time period/what we can see) but they actively choose a different lifestyle that appeals to them. They are not hurting anyone. Most of us hide under masks to fit in these days because it’s scary to be seen as ”different”. Some people may see them as the ”costumed people”, but they are in fact, the authentic people. True to themselves and not wearing an invisible mask. Props to them both!
Fair play to them. I remember trying on a genuine 1880s walking suit in the most beautiful mauve colour in a vintage shop in Dublin years ago. It fit me perfectly, and everyone in the shop commented on how elegant it looked. I felt so comfortable in it, that my mother literally had to talk me out of buying it since I was planning to walk around town wearing it, regardless of what year it is. I honestly regret that decision now. If it were today, I would have bought the thing regardless of what people think . If your soul alligns with something, there’s a reason. Just go with it
In case you ever read it or you’d have an idea: How do you find a partner with special interests? I’m in a special situation and am searching for someone in the same situation but have no idea where to start looking. It’s crazy that you found each other and I am so happy for you from the bottom of my heart. But I have no idea how to make this happen for me and it’s about to ruin m life forever.
I’ve always loved the Victorian Era and especially the Civil War Era. I do a lot of reenactments and have a Victorian space with Victorian furniture but, I never had the courage to live outside my comfort zone and enter into the modern world as you have done daily in what you enjoy. I’m hoping to venture out and do the same! Thank you for your encouraging words and actions! PS-How did you find one another in both liking to do the same things and living the same way?
I find myself obsessing a bit over the ways of life in the 1800s from time to time, especially on the American frontier. However, one thing I can say I’m very thankful for in modern times is medical advances. The Chrismans can live their lives just like they would in the Victorian era, but know that if they decide to have children, that they will have a much higher chance of survival.
Actually, the 1800s are among my two favourite periods, the other is the 50s and 60s. Perhaps because of the slowness of life, you took time to est, converse with others and so on. Okay, it was hard work, I know. there’s a certain degree of elegance to clothing and so on. Sherlock Holmes was created in the late 1800s.
I too would love to see people “go further with their interests” like they do. 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦 your interests. I know people who live as Elves because they want to, not caring a fig what people think, and there’s a marvellous freedom in that. People should either embrace being thought of as “peculiar” or at least not mind it (though I think the former is more fun.) I like a lot of books and movies set in fictional versions of Victorian England (think Sweeney Todd, or many Joan Aiken books) and have always felt drawn to the spirit of the Victorians, especially their curiosity and ingenuity. Maybe I should explore that more. I’m going to make sure I’m fully living out the kind of life I want to, like this couple does – life is too short to do anything less!
