How to use "Now and then" in context?
When I think about now, I remember how it used to be. Times were simpler then. The world was in a state of flux but for the most part, we were all just trying to get by. There was no internet, no social media, no smartphones. Life was slower, kinder, and more peaceful. These days, things are so different. The world is moving faster than ever before, our lives are more hectic, and technology has completely taken over. Yet despite all of this change, there are moments when things still seem the same. We still stumble through life, making mistakes and learning along the way.
