Social media trends come and go, but one I really enjoy is seeing people recreate photos from their pasts.
It’s a whole lot of fun and I’m always impressed with how specific they get with the details.
And these recreations definitely give us a unique look back into simpler times when the world didn’t seem as complicated or dangerous.
Or, maybe it was but we just didn’t know it…
Either way, let’s take a look at these recreated photos.
We think you’re gonna love them!
