20 Pics of People That Make Us Realize Time Flies
A bunch of crazy biker girls who turned into crazy biker grannies, a man who used to be a total mess and then became a loving father over the years — these are just a few tricks of time that people notice when they flip through family albums.
We at Bright Side have vivid examples of how time can be similar to a bolt of lightning that strikes all of a sudden and is so quick that it’s over in the blink of an eye.
