20 Photos From The Past That People Definitely Regret

And now, we laugh

At any age before turning 20, we think we are at the top of the world. We think we know everything there is to know, and we think the world was built for us. And we act accordingly. We take pictures of every waking moment, thinking we're the first to ever strike a cool pose like that, and nobody tells us we're being ridiculous because they're playing the long game: they're laughing, and they know they'll keep laughing for years until we go back to those same pictures with the face full of regret.
