It is believed that the most precious thing we human beings have is time. Hours, days, and years pass before our eyes, and there is nothing we can do to stop them. Nor is it possible to go back and recover longed-for moments. Therefore, the best thing to do is to live every second as if it were the last and celebrate our existence and that of our loved ones.
In this article, we have compiled several images that show the devastating force of time, but also its beauty, because in every change, in every wrinkle, in every reunion, and in every memory, there is a story worth telling.
