20 Past and Present Pics That Pumped Nostalgia Into Our Hearts

Being nostalgic may boost your social bonds and push you to look at yourself more positively, says one older study. More recently, different research showed that reminiscing might help relieve depression symptoms in older adults. This means that one way or another, picking up those dusty family albums of ours isn’t a bad idea at all. In fact, people prove so by creating heartwarming recreations of their favorite photos from the past.

Bright Side rounded up a few folks who flew back in time in order to relive moments from years ago, just as Marty McFly once did.
