Það getur verið ansi erfitt að fara í gegnum gelgjuna og breytingarnar sem fylgja henni, en sem betur fer erum við flest ánægð með líkamlegu breytingarnar sem eiga sér stað á þessum árum.
En svo eru líka hlutir sem breytast bara ekki að sjálfu sér eða með tímanum – hlutir sem eru erfiðir og tímafrekir – og það krefst hugrekki að ráðast í þær breytingar.
Þessar 22 manneskjur hér fyrir neðan eiga það öll sameiginlegt að hafa umbreyst svo mikið að það er varla hægt að þekkja þau á gömlum myndum – og það er ansi magnað að sjá breytinguna:

4. “Green is still my favorite color, and getting older isn’t so bad!”
