For many, the thought of aging and time slipping by can feel scary. But it doesn’t have to be when you see it as a chance to grow wiser, collect new memories, and share the journey with your loved ones.
The subreddit Past And Present Pics captures that perfectly. It’s full of side-by-side comparisons of people through the years, often decades apart, and they’re wonderfully wholesome. Scroll down to see them all and take comfort in the reminder that things usually turn out how they’re meant to.
