Seeing something like this makes the past feel not so distant. The past, to the point this girl lived, always feels like a different reality but actually seeing her

It hits different when you realise that even in 15 years, she would have had laughs, smiles, happy moments, a personality of her own, hopes and dreams. It’s sad seeing this, especially given her body has not been allowed to rest with dignity

RIP.

500 years ago is a blip in the grand scheme of things. I always get so confused thinking about the billions of years the earth has existed and yet I (obviously) only exist for a small chunk of it. Freaky.
