19 poignant and sobering photos of how merciless time is

Here you are only 5 years old. Kindergarten. It's already 15. First love. Until recently, you graduated from the institute, and before you could blink, you were sitting in the family circle: your spouse, children. Life flies, time is merciless. It does not stop, it does not stop, it does not spare anyone or anything. We have collected photos that clearly show how fast it goes, and you need to appreciate every moment you live!
