For several years now, a movement where people recreate photos from their childhood has been really popular. The users try to consider every little detail: the location, the clothes, the pose, the facial expressions, and the accessories. In the end, they get such a great result, that they seem to have traveled back into the past. We at Bright Side think that recreating old photos is a great thing to do with your family. Because when you look at these comparisons, you realize that time passes extremely fast and love and friendship only get stronger.

Sometimes the way we behave or the things we say can push people away. It might be some of your traits you’re not proud of and want to change. Or, on the contrary, it might be something you see as positive, and the reason it puts certain people off is the way they perceive you. In any case, we at Bright Side feel it’s important to be aware of those traits that might intimidate others. As a bonus, at the end of the article, we’ll also tell you what changes you can make in your behavior in order to maintain good relationships with your friends and colleagues.

It was July 1954, a scorching hot day: a man arrived at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan. He had recently landed from a plane flying over from Europe. There was nothing unusual about him at first glance: he was elegantly dressed, with no distinguishing features. He was just a simple man sporting a beard. He made his way to customs, just as all the other people surrounding him. The customs officer picked up this man’s passport. As soon as he started to browse through its pages, the officer immediately noticed something was wrong.

One of the greatest things about learning a language is encountering new words that help you name a thing or feeling that you had no way to express before. Although some people claim Germans are unemotional (a totally untrue stereotype, by the way), the German language is filled with words to describe complex emotions. And what’s more, these words have no equivalent in the English language. For example, have you ever felt a certain sadness at the state of the world, or felt a sense of satisfaction when someone you dislike stubs their toe?

Lately, many ads and campaigns have begun to make statements about diversity, accepting your body, racism awareness, and disabilities. Models of all ages, skin tones, and body types appear on magazine covers and proudly walk the runway. This summer, a young model with a disability was chosen to be the face of Gucci’s newest ’Unconventional Beauty’ campaign that supports non-stereotypical beauty. We at Bright Side are encouraged by people who are not afraid to be themselves. And we admire the companies that choose to show diversity in their campaigns.
