20+ People Recreated Their Old Photos to Vividly Show How Time Flies

If we could time travel, many people would hurry to try it. They probably wouldn’t go into the unknown future, but instead most would go into their own past. And it comes as no surprise because in our childhood, we felt happiness with every cell in our body, the sun shined brighter, and we had the strongest friendships that were supposed to last a lifetime. Some people managed to open a portal to their youth by recreating their old pictures, so they could feel like they were still these carefree babies, at least for a couple of seconds.

We at Bright Side paid close attention to these photos, and we were surprised to realize how fast time flies. On the other hand, some people haven’t changed and even 30 years later, they still continue to fool around like they did when they were kids, and this is so cool. At the end of the article, you’ll find an adorable bonus showing that in the animal world, time goes by much faster.
