The photo on the left was taken in July 2004. I was 16 and had just left school. I had my first boyfriend and was looking forward to starting my A-levels. My wardrobe was made up of bright, bold colours to reflect my hippy-loving personality.
The photo on the right was taken in August 2006. I've lost a lot of weight. My skin is terrible and my dermatillomania has flared. I'm now wearing nothing but red and black since I've turned to emo as I relate to the music and culture. The biggest change for me is that my eyeliner-caked eyes are now dead. They've lost the excited sparkle that they used to have.
What changed between these two photos?
