We don’t know about you, but there’s nothing that warms out hearts more than seeing a couple grow old together. We can’t believe that this couple were able to re-create their old picture 40 years later so perfectly! From the location, to the outfits, and even the hair, everything is spot on.

2. Find a barber you trust and stick with them.

Finding a new barber can be a daunting process, and many of us still stick with the same hairdressers that we’ve used our whole life. But not many of us have the privilege of having the exact same person cut our hair as when we were a child! These two much have a really special relationship.

3. The amount of growing my snail has gotten done in under a year. From a 4cm shell to a 17cm shell.

Before we saw this photo, we thought that snails were cute and harmless- if a little gross. But we can’t help feeling a little freaked out by this giant snail! Who knew they could grow this big?? Its cage must be huge! At least one thing’s for sure- you couldn’t ever accidentally step on something this big.

4. Friends 45 years later

It takes a really special friendship to grow all the way into adulthood, where your busy lives and differences might end up with you growing apart. So how special is it that all five of these ladies were lucky enough to remain friends? We love the effort they’ve gone through to recreate this picture as well, even down to the props!

5. Left: 10 years into a drug addiction. Right: 3rd year being clean.

Drug addictions can ruin lives, and for some people, they’re not able to get things back on track. But this amazing lady decided that enough was enough, and she put her whole heart into turning her life around. She looks so much healthier now, has a baby, and is absolutely gorgeous! It’s never too late to turn your life around.

6. Boston 30 years apart

We’re used to seeing city transformations where they end up looking more built-up, so isn’t it refreshing to see that Boston is a lot more greener after 30 years? With global warming having such a damaging effect on the world, we’re glad that some cities are listening to the warnings and deciding to do something about it. Besides, who doesn’t love the park?

7. Me and my sister had some awkward middle school years

Middle school is never a great time to look back on. It seems to signify those awkward, teenage years where you’re not quite sure how to dress or how to style your hair, and you most likely have braces. These sisters looked adorable as middle-schoolers, and now they have transformed into gorgeous adults!

8. Uncles backyard two days apart- New Zealand.

New Zealand is said to be one of the most beautiful places in the world, and if you need a picture to prove that fact, then here it is. We can’t decide if the snowy scene or the scene with the rainbow is more beautiful! If it wasn’t for COVID, we’d be tempted to book the next flight over there- especially as it’s Spring time over there at the moment.

9. My daughter and me on Lookout Mountain 2006 | 2019 Montreat, NC

Some things never change, and the bond between a dad and his daughter can only grow stronger. We love to see families recreating special memories from childhood years, and we can tell that these two are still just as close as they were back then. Dads are truly the best.

10. Dying plant vs corrected care!

Admittedly, we’re not the best at keeping after plants, and when we see them inevitably beginning to die, it’s normally around the time that we admit defeat and throw them in the trash. So we were surprised to see that a dying plant can actually be fixed, and it can end up looking beautiful! The moral of the story? Don’t give up!

11. My grandpa and his dad almost 100 years ago. Tesla model 3

This picture just goes to show how our ancestor’s hobbies and passions can be passed down through the generations, and there’s something heartwarming about seeing how both these men have such a love for cars. Just imagine if the grandpa’s dad could see what kind of car he owned in this modern age! It makes us realize how incredibly short life is.

12. Nobody picked her because she was the ’ugly’ kitten. Just look at her now!

In our (cat lover’s) opinion, this cat was never ugly in the first place! Even as a kitten, she had the most beautiful markings, and they show up all the more in her adult years. Where do we find a cat like this?

13. 5 years apart summer 2014 to summer 2019, muscle gain and fat loss

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a fitness transformation, and this man has done a great job. Although we wouldn’t exactly consider him unhealthy in the first snap, it’s clear that a lot of work has gone into his transformation, and we bet he’s really proud of himself. Great job!

14. One year ago I buzzed my head, and now the floof is back (and I gained white hair)

We didn’t realize how quickly hair grows until we saw this picture- no wonder our partner is always going for a trim! Although there’s no explanation as to why the woman shaved her hair, we’d take an educated guess and say that it could have been for charity. Either way, you have to be pretty brave to shave off all your hair- so good on her!

15. This poor baby was giving me those sad eyes until we finally got her home and she became a whole new dog. Welcome home Chloe!

It breaks our hearts to think about all of the sad, lonely dogs wasting away their years at a shelter, so pictures like this always fill us with immediate joy. You can see clearly just how happy this dog is now that she has her own loving home. If that isn’t a good enough reason to adopt, then we don’t know what is.

16. Five months later in Australia after the rains

Although in many places of the world, rain is considered to be miserable, gloomy weather, it is welcomed with open arms in some countries. Earlier on this year, Australia battled some of the worst forest fires the country had ever faced, and the hot, dry weather just made things worse. So when the first drops of rain began to fall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

17. Me and my son, my son and my grandson

If you’re sentimental like us, then this picture will bring instant tears to your eyes. We can’t get over just how similar dad, son and grandson all look! People talk about wanting fame and riches to be successful in life, but all you truly need is a loving family.

18. Before and after cleaning over 30 years of tarnish off my grandmaw’s spoons. She hand picked each one from around the world.

This has to be one pf the most impressive spoon collections we’ve ever seen, and we think it’s a totally original idea of what to collect on your travels! We love that the grandchildren went out of their way to give all of their grandma’s spoons a good polish, and we think they look even more impressive now they’re all shiny and clean.

19. “This on the left was one year ago vs Yesterday. I never thought I would go out in public wearing a crop top!”

Although most of this girl’s body is hidden from shot, it’s clear to see just from her face how dramatic her weight loss transformation is. It’s great that losing weight has now given her the confidence to go out in a crop top, and it’s truly moments like this that make the struggle worth it.

20. Prom 2009 and Wedding 2019

It’s not often that you see childhood sweethearts get married, so it’s lovely to see these before-and-after pictures from prom to the wedding. What’s interesting is how the pair have both changed looks-wise, yet they’re still clearly head over heels for each other! It just goes to show that love is a lot deeper than what’s on the surface.

21. Two different labrador commissions, three years of experience.

In our eyes, both of these pictures are amazing in different ways. They’re two completely different styles, with one being more realistic, as opposed to the other cartoon-ish one. Whichever one you prefer, what’s clear to see is that this person has serious talent.

22. Me and my husband in the same preschool class at 3 years old in 1994 & our kids on the first day of school in 2019 at 3 and 6 years old.

Our minds are blown at how similar this married couple’s children look to their younger selves. The little boy has the exact same expression as his daddy, and the girl’s cheeky grin is exactly like her mama’s! Isn’t that just the most heartwarming thing?

23. Mr. Olympias, Franco Columbu and Arnie, have been playing chess for more than 50 years.

When your friendship is solidified by your love of chess, then why ever think about ending the friendship? We’re amazed that these friends have been playing together for over 50 years, yet none has got tired of the other’s company. We wonder who wins the most games?

24. Chris Hemsworth’s transformation for Thor

Actors often have to transform themselves for different roles, and we have to thank the producers of Thor for Chris Hemsworth’s dramatic transformation. Admittedly, he was already pretty attractive before, but we love the rugged look that he was going for in Thor. It’s like a feast for the eyes.

25. Jonah Hill’s inspiring weight loss

Jonah Hill is another actor who often switches up his look for different roles- and as the comedy actor, his character often benefits from being a little overweight. But we think he looks almost unrecognizable these days, and shows off his new look in films such as Superbad, The Sitter, and This Is the End. Big credit to him!
