Time takes its toll on everyone and everything; everyone knows that; it's just a fact of life. Over time, things change, and a lot of the time, these changes aren't always noticed because they happen slowly, over the course of decades sometimes. The changes are there, though; it's only when someone sees something new that the realization hits. It's cool to see how things change from wear and usage. Staircases, shoes, keys… everything is worn down over time.

It isn't often people truly get to see how drastically something has changed over time, that's what Reddit's /r/wellworn is there for. This subreddit allows people to share photos of things that have worn down over time and comparison photos of things new and old. It's an interesting subreddit to scroll through and might make you look at things a little differently. Take a closer look at objects and spot the wear and tear for yourself. Here are 25 photos showcasing how things change over time.
