I have almost no interest in history as it relates to what governments and their militaries did. That's a club I have never belonged to, so their "history" isn't mine.
That's why history in school was so dreadfully boring to me.
The history I am more interested in is what normal people did while simply living. Yes, some of what they did was in reaction to governments, but that's polluted history. Not the real stuff.
I enjoy dabbling in the ways they lived. I have hundreds of thousands of years of human history to experience. Why just focus on the worst bits and the worst thugs and pretend that's the "important part"?
And why limit myself to this current time when choosing what to wear and what to do? Pick and choose the best history has to offer.
The past is deep. Jump in.
