2020 has been a hell of a journey. That much we know so far. But what if we rewind all the way back to 2015? Was the sun brighter, the grass greener, and the world calmer? That, my dear pandas, we may never truly know.

But Twitter user Charlie D. has realized that we can at least take a look at “how y’all was looking 5 years ago.” So people scrolled back through their image galleries and dug up some old but truly gold pics.

The "2015 vs 2020" thread went viral with 85.7K retweets and comments as well as 21.1K likes, and below, we have the most wholesome, nostalgic, emotional, and fun entries that show just how fast time flies when you think of it.

    Looks like she gained confidence... The older photo her head is tilted downward and gives off a shy vibe... You definitely do not get that in the newer photo.

    Bored Panda, is there anyway that you can remove Ms. Nicole Blomkamp? She has been making ridiculous and demeaning comments on quite a few of these beautiful peoples posts. She has also been upvoting a lot of other negative posts. https://www.boredpanda.com/author/nicoleblom/

    Even though I do partially agree with Ms. Blomkamp down below, I don't think that is the way to say it. Yes, from these pictures it does not seem like she holds much self esteem, but saying it that way is NOT the way that yo help a person gain self esteem, the opposite in fact. Ms. Blomkamp, I suggest that if you don't have anything nice to say about a person that you do not know don't say anything at all.
