Description
It was about time I did a redo of the time warp meme.This has been sitting around for a couple days now and I felt like just finishing it. My style kind of jumps around in it since I kept leaving it and coming back to it.
Early Years
• Theme song: Green Day - Brat.
• Was determined to be a paleontologist.
• Loved Jurassic Park, Aliens, Tremors and Blue's Clues.
• Mom made me wear dresses. :I Hated them. Same with barrettes.
• Had lots of freckles.
• Eyes were intensely blue.
Elementary School
• Theme song: Joan Jett - Bad Reputation.
• Fighty
• Wore ridiculously mismatching 90s clothes. And loved them.
• Was sun burnt a lot. Hair got darker from the sun too.
• Loved Conker's Bad Fur Day, Hamtaro, Pokemon, Jurassic Park and Powerpuff Girls.
• Had lots of leg surgery during these years, I just didn't draw any of it here.
• Still got the freckles! Just less of them.
• Eyes faded to a lighter blue.
Middle School - Early High School
• Theme song: Blink-182 - Adam's Song.
• My whole wardrobe was black with black on top of black. And some red.
• Started dying my hair a lot.
• Very depressed, Often cut self or carved things into my body. I used razors, knives from the kitchen, erasers if I was at school (friction burns), etc.
• Had a two suicide attempts..
• Slowly got better as High School came about, but when alone was very self-mutilating.
• Experimented with drinking and drugs.
• Missed lots of school - a combination of being sick ALL the time and just being depressed.
• Mentally repressed a lot of what happened during those years, so it's hard to remember big events or details.
• Loved old rock music, Devil May Cry, Transformers.
High School
• Theme song: Metric - Black Sheep.
• FORCED myself to be happy.
• Bought a bunch of bright clothes to try and cover things up.
• Eventually this started to work and started to become whimsical again and enjoy life.
• At that point had dyed hair every possible color but straight out pink.
• Started a very serious relationship. And while it backfired on both of us, I wouldn't take it back for the world. Thanks for the experience man<3 We both grew a lot.
• Loved anything and everything retro or cartoon related. And ska and indie music. Also Team Fortress 2. Lots of it.
• Drank less, but kept smoking.
• Eyes turned from blue-ish to blue-gray, slowly.
• Drawing. Constantly. All the time.
• Collects hats.
College
• Theme song: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Warrior.
• Depression came back.
• Came out of the closet.
• Chain smoker.
• Physical fights are common.
• Becoming self destructive again. Is fine with it. Aware that it's stupid.
• COLLEGEEEE AM I RIGHT?
Oh boy, the more you know!
I feel like this was me venting about my life more than anything. :I
I didn't mean to make this dramatic!!

Middleschool: Holy sh*t, you used to practice "cutting"? Your arms (in the draw) are bleeding.
Sorry for question, i was just scared because here in Brazil the "cutting" practice is becoming popular.

Wow, you are a very strong and brave individual for being able to let complete strangers from the internet know all of this stuff about you. (I am in no means a stalker!) And I'm really touched that you would do this. I'm seriously in awe of you right now, just wow. I'm not going to give you the usual spiel 'bout the self-harm and suicidal thoughts thing 'cause you probably got that enough already. But I'm very happy that, although you are depressed again, that it is not as bad as before. I know from what you said above that you are not going to let this take you down, thank you for sharing this with me and everyone else here on da, you are a seriously amazing person.
Alright, now, I LOVE your art! It just looks so fun to me! I'm having a hard time describing it, I just love all of it, it's just...yayness! I just love the style, if they did a cartoon in this style I would watch, even if the plot was complete sh*t, just to see the characters in this style, I love it that much. There's just something in the style that makes me smile like a lunatic. I am really glad I found this, thank you thank you thank you for making this, thank you!

This has touched me, but then it always does to see an artist bare her soul so bravely and honestly as this. You inspired me to make some preliminary scribbles about my own struggles and trials and the various "me's" that have been around thus far, but I'm afraid I'm not yet brave enough to tell my whole story. There's nothing of it in my gallery, just a lot of the false happiness that I began with in this account when I started it 9 years ago and haven't fully transitioned away from. Enough about me, I just wanted to express how much maturity, and creativity, and skill I found in this single "meme", though that seems too trivial a word for your masterful rendition of it. And I just wanted to say that my "now" looks eerily similar to yours even if the in-betweens had some major differences, or were at least a lot more delayed.

Ahhh, I've kept this in my inbox for a while because I've been trying to think of something really nice to say back because wow, just thank you. ; v ;
I think that's a good idea though, to do little things about the journeys and hardships you are going through or have had in your life, like a a drawn diary. I know I certainly do it. Writing doesn't help me express and vent and tell so much as effectively as art does. Then it's also all there for you to look at at any time.
It can be really hard though to open up and show everything, whether its via art or talking or another form of media. There's still a lot about myself I haven't quite put out into the open, but doing it little by little has really helped. :> I think just the positive reinforcement I've gotten from people has helped a lot too. You never know what to expect when you post such personal things, but like the words you've given me it just makes me feel like more of a person and less of a bundle of problems. :') So thanks so much. <3
And as we as people continue to go through more transitions and experiences I really hope for the best for ya<3

Looks like Our middleschool/highschool and highschool is scary similar......
In highschool when I tried to be happy, sometimes I would over do it and people thought I was a hyper brat and still see me in town now a days and look at me like Im a freak. But Meh~

The more people that talk to me about this picture the more it seems like everyone had a particularly tough time around that age. :<
Perhaps it's just the age itself, being a teenager at that point is a very awkward and "growing into yourself" sort of time. But it still makes me sad to hear. I wish things could be easier for everyone.
Oh I know that feeling as well. I'm thankful I don't run into many people from high school now, or rather they don't recall who I am due to a shaved head and multiple piercings idk. Facebook helps them find me but ahaha I use a different last name on there now.
But weh I hope things are going good for you otherwise. <3

Bro
At least your elementary was fucking awesome
when I was in fifth grade I broke a teacher's hand being badass and was thrown in a mental school for the rest of the year.

Your art is awesome. I'm so sorry you hade to go through all that stuff. Just surround yourself with people you love and that love you, like you seem to do! 
Again, such a cool drawing!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw thank you kindly. ;v; Such sweet words<3
Things have definitely improved, but we all have our struggles to deal with. I'll get through mine in time. :> But it's true about surrounding yourself with good people and that's helped me out a lot.
Thank you again<3

you're welcome, good luck!

You're a very interesting person. From what I see here, at least. Multi-layered, in a good way. I hope things improve for you, and if they are already, I hope they continue to.
And as a side-note, your art has improved greatly since the last meme. It looks really good :>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw thank you so much<3 It means a lot! ; v ;
Things have improved in some ways and I feel as if I'm able to cope with things much more easily than I could before. I think things are just starting to come full circle now that the year is ending as well. But it's already been about a year since I've posted this so I suppose things are bound to change.
Thank you once more!

I love to come back and look at this picture.
Especially when I feel bad, cause, You're life reminds me that, no matter how bad things get, they eventually get better. Even if it's just a smudge. Right now, I'm kind of in your highschool years. Kind of having the same issues, and kind of not.
But looking at this picture every now and then makes me realize how far I've come, and how far I hope to go, and I feel a lot better.
Thank you.

I feel so happy that I can help in some way<3
And things WILL get better. Things do suck sometimes, but if its one thing I've learned with my life experiences its that you can roll with the punches and become stronger from the experiences you have. Another thing I learned is that if you are unhappy with things are you can always create your own happiness, which is one of the best things a person can do, albeit one of the hardest I think.
I really hope everything goes well for you and I wish you the absolute best. <3

Wow you had a rough time. 
I just want you to know that there is ALWAYS hope. Jesus loves you so much, He wants you to be at peace and be joyful. He will always be there for you, no matter what. You are worth so much to Him! I really wish you the absolute best!

Aw thank you for your kind words<3
And I have gotten help for my depression and all of that. I'm some pills now that make me feel so much more like myself. And yeah, it really is no fun. :< Caused a lot of pain for a lot of people..but I'm just glad I had friends who were willing to risk a lot to help me out. True bros<3
Thank you so much<333

i understand,i just got in to college last month and i feel so depressed about it because it wasnt what i thought it was...college life's hard....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
College life is hard, but as long as you know what you want to do, then stick with it. <:3 It's rewarding in the end.
Unless the school is just total shit. That...that happens too. :C I hope your school doesn't suck.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no it donst suck... i love my drawing, and my other art classes..its just my roomate...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhh roommates.
I've heard a couple horror stories. I don't do student housing personally since I live close to my school, but I have some friends that do. It seems pretty ridiculous. One thing about roommates though that's nice is that people switch rooms a lot, or at least around here they do, so whoever you're bunking with might do that and you could end up rooming with someone way cooler.

my school is a mile in half...i walk..i'm movein next week, with a friend so im good, its just im worried if i mess up... hows your college life so far?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhh, well that doesn't sound too bad. Sometimes friends can be a pain to live with, but if its someone you really trust then there shouldn't be problems. <:3
College life ain't bad. I mean it's just busy. But that's school in a nutshell anyway.

I swear, we could be twins xD.
Thank you very much for sharing your story with us, I for one love hearing/reading/looking (at) other peoples stories. And yours is slightly similiar to mine.
I hope you find peace and bliss, and Never stop drawing.
By the way, Tango for the win. <3

I hate the fact that peoples lives can become so horrible that the victims resort to self harm :/ its a horrible thing really. I Just wish everyone could be happy, everyone was healthy and loving, caring. Not this hell we live in today. I hate it with all my heart.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is a horrible thing, I agree. And it's hard to live through when people don't look at you the same way for your past or you don't have that same amount of trust as before. It sucks, but you move on and in some ways become stronger...I guess mostly because you have to. I wish things could be like you describe though too, it's just so hard to watch people spiral downward. :<

Aw, well I had no reason to be an asshole to you. You were always such a sweetheart. :3 <333

WTF. You smoke? You actually. fucking. smoke? Okay I'm done. I just had to let it sink in a little bit. You just don't look like a smoker thats all.
I just learned A HUGE amount about you in just a deviation. Thats fucking sad. That made me realize that I barely even know you. So like, we should hang out more often or something. I hope to see you more this summer.
I can relate to a lot of what you have up there but just coming at it from a different angle. this was some interesting 'info' to be read.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't? xD
I thought most people assumed I did at first glance. But I'm nowhere near as bad a smoker as my mom or..anything like that. I don't chain smoke at all and I try to spread them out as far as physically possible or distract myself with gum or something else. :[
We do need to hang out more! I miss our shenanigans!
I'll be down to three classes in the summer, but all my classes are gonna be on one day twice a week, so I have lots of free time. :3 <3
