I don't usually do the age/age memes because I shudder to look at old pictures but... eh, I'll live. 2009/2019:

2009: actually I do miss that dress a lot, that was a great dress. otherwise: oof.

2019: just as queer, otherwise much improved

plus I learned 2 hair and makeup

I actually dig the lipstick from the first pic but a+ excellent developments

also while my physical health is garbage my mental health is vastly improved. not pictured in the 2009 pic: an entire brain full of weasels.

an entire fucking mood

tbf that lipstick looks good in that picture but it was terrible in any other lighting -- the sunlight warms it but it was way too cool-toned

...I was JUST looking at another pic with it and now I can't find it

god you look great

oh lol here disastrous for so many reasons

the three to my right are my cousins and I used to be so miserable about how pretty they all are, poor baby me.

aw thank you kris plurk hid your comment

I'm always torn about the weight loss factor because I do like the way I look much more now but I also wish I could go back in time and be like YOU'RE REALLY OKAY, I PROMISE, THAT'S NOT WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES THINGS BETTER

Yeah, that's rough. I mean. I think we all have those.

shockingly the doctors and all of modern western society are wrong and losing weight does not turn you into an entirely different human being with an entirely different life

you mostly just have an easier time shopping

I really love that short hair on you, so cute, but you were adorable in 2009 too
