15 Photos Showing How Time Passes in the Blink of an Eye

The distractions, responsibilities, and plans that everyday life keeps us busy with make us forget that time runs at an absurdly fast pace. Luckily, our family albums are here to make our journey through time more tangible and traceable. After all, seeing how we or the people closest to us are changing through the years makes us realize that every moment is precious and needs to be savored to the max.

Bright Side can’t get enough of sweet side-by-side photos that are separated by years or even decades. We’ll be sharing how people or their beloved pets have changed yet somehow still stayed the same.

Do you often go back to your old family photos? Do you think that even though time inevitably changes us from the outside, there is a part of us that forever stays the same?
