This needs to become a trend—normalize the cringe, embrace it! We all have photos from the past that are absolutely embarrassing. Maybe it's a photo our mom forced us to take when we were small children, maybe it's a yearbook photo exposing how clueless and cringey we were in our formative years, or maybe it's that one time we tried to cut our own hair, and the results were captured for all eternity on film by one of our older siblings. These are the kinds of photos we usually tuck away in some old photo album or hide in the back of a drawer, hoping they'll vanish and never see the light of day again.
But the good people in the Reddit group r/blunderyears decided to do the opposite and embrace the cringe. They posted their most embarrassing photos from the past and, by making them public, allowed themselves to move on and accept who they were. Perhaps we should all do the same.
