Some pictures just beg for a backstory. Even a sentence or two is enough to help make sense of what we're looking at, or to give a picture so much more meaning.
Thankfully, when it comes to these pictures, the backstory was definitely included. For better or for worse, we have the full story for all of these pics (or, at least most of the story).
I'm willing to bet those buildings were both designed by the same architect, all those years ago. So cool!
It's so funny how people think their lives are over if they don't figure out their calling by age 25. Let this guy's awesome news show you that there's no such thing as "too late" when it comes to finding your dream job.
This is one of those things that happen so rarely, you don't even think about it.
If you can't get into work, does that mean you get the day off?
It's funny how a picture of such average things can represent so much kindness. What the rest of us take for granted can mean the world for someone else.
Nothing like finding the food you'd been looking forward to eating, all covered in mold. On the plus side, it's an excuse to get takeout.
Adopting a dog is rewarding in itself, but not as much as when the dog finally decides to adopt you back!
Oh no... That's not good.
Seeing people who've fallen in love and stayed in love for years just gives you hope. Like, maybe the world isn't as horrible as it seems.
With the housing market going completely insane in a lot of places, this really seems like a far-off dream. But congrats to anyone who can call themselves a homeowner like this person!
I have to say, I'm pretty jealous of people whose parents still live in their childhood homes. They get to have memories like this.
There's nothing nicer than a happy reunion years in the making. Yes, even if that reunion is between someone and their stuffed toy.
It's not every day that you get to hold onto a physical book with your name on it. In fact, it's usually the culmination of years of hard work (and, like, the tiniest bit of luck).
Don't you just love it when you're flying in an airplane and the pilot decides to show you something really cool?
This feels like a weirdly specific place for a bird to be... Like it was seeking out some bird to fight, and ended up finding itself or something.
I'm, like, 99% sure those neighbors didn't know that they'd put the cookies on a decorative plate. But it also begs the question: what's the point of a plate you can't put food on?
Smartwatch screens are a lot like smartphone screens: too easy to break. Hopefully this one can be fixed, and could probably benefit from a screen protector in the future.
Apparently, this picture was taken in the Channel Islands, which honestly just makes me want to pack up my stuff and go on a vacation.
Who would've thought that such a small box could be cause for so much panic. Sadly, this is the kind of stuff women have to be afraid of on a daily basis.
According to OP, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, and Mars are all in this picture (even though I can only find 4 of them). Definitely worth getting up for!
I guess when you're faced with your own mortality, there's only so much you can do. But that doesn't mean you have to do nothing!
