5 years ago all I wanted to do was play video games. Now all I want to do is play video games and party.
5 Years Ago, I would cling to my friends. Now, I don't cling to friends because i have none. Dark.
5 years ago I was 5 years younger Bam No but really, I was really incoherent and grammatically challenged And very annoying Now I'm not Bam
Me five years ago. (13) - Pretty creepy - Socially awkward - Lack of motivation - Total dick - Wore heart on sleeve/m'lady Me now. (18) - Signifigantly less creepy. - Still quite socially awkward (Old habits die hard I guess.) - Way more motivation than before. - I'm not entirely a walking penis anymore. - No longer wearing heart on sleeve/farewell m'lady I'm quite pleased with my development actually.
I've matured quite a bit, the harder life gets the more I understand others. I respect my mother far more, hurt her back pretty badly in an accident and still worked hard to keep a roof over my sister and I's head. Back then I didn't really care about other peoples struggles, as long as I got what I wanted. It makes me sick, thinking about some of the things I did and said to other people. I still say and do stupid things sometimes, but I'm not the all out annoying prick I used to be. I aspire to be a better, more understanding human being.

When I was 11 Enjoyed video games like spore and stuff like that not a fan of "adult" content didnt know what anime was never heard of steam actually was barely part of the internet at all was the strange kid at school, but was pretty good at the classes socially awkward detested dating with all my might afraid of girls now (16) I know what steam, anime, and the internet is still not a fan of "adult" content (I cant even watch kill la kill. its too much for me) still socially awkward, but I use it to my advantage to create funny moments (making your whole class laugh really helps your image) skipped forward a year in math, in honors/AP courses for everything else became an over achiever because grades are about all I got became tolerant of others dating (I still protest public displays of affection though) somewhat less scared of girls (I can converse with one for about 3 lines. thats my progress in that regard) so, the summary? I became book smarter, a bit wiser, and on a straight path to become an educated loner
Age 12: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17239680/PublicPhotography/me&friends/faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.jpg[/t] Lanky as fuck, wore baggy clothes for some reason Little to no self confidence Couldn't talk to girls Experimented with Photoshop, edited SWEPs, no real marketable skills Long haircut Current (17): [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17239680/PublicPhotography/prom/06.jpg][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17239680/PublicPhotography/prom/thumb/06.jpg[/img][/url] [URL="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17239680/PublicPhotography/Me%26Friends/BigSurg/03.jpg"][IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17239680/PublicPhotography/Me%26Friends/BigSurg/thumb/03.jpg[/IMG][/URL] (Top picture before prom, bottom shortly after a surgery this year) Lanky as fuck, wear fitting clothing often picked out by girlfriend Very confident in self, future Dating a girl I've known much of my life for the past 3 years Have a solid understanding of LUA, very experienced with Photoshop/After Effects, AND lucked out with a sexy voice. Clean shaven with a short hair cut. All in all, I'm very happy with how I've turned out. It took forever, but I'm finally happy with who I am and what I do. To anyone going through an awkward phase, just keep trying to improve yourself. Sooner or later you'll hit your stride, find talents and happiness. I hit mine around 15 as I really began to become active in coding/Photoshop as well as a little VO work. 2 years later and life is still great.

13 year old me was a cynical asshole who played WoW, listened to dimmu borgir and was overweight. 18 year old me is a cynical asshole who listens to pururin ( [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg8Jahz6RM4[/url] ) and lays in his bed staring at the ceiling.
... the only thing that's changed is that my World of Warcraft account is frozen at the moment and I've begun to realize what a boring life I have. I'm 19, turn 20 in a week, I've had the same routine the last ... 8 years, pretty much - 'cept for a year when I was 16 to 17. I just go to school, come home, play computer the rest of the day. Play with and talk to friends over Skype, however, don't just sit "alone." Party occassionally, started going to the gym a couple of times a week, but haven't been there for a while after I was ill for a week. Didn't have friends over for my 18th, 19th and most likely wont for my 20th birthday, just family, although I have friends. I sound depressing although I'm usually happy. I keep myself busy; when I leave the computer I take out my phone and watch Netflix or anything like that. Don't know where this is going nor how to stop this post. - Edit - Guess I lost weight, but got taller too, so I guess I weigh as much.
Okay lets see here.. I'm going to be 29 in two months, so I'm putting my current age at 29, making me 24 five years ago. 24: Was highly optimistic, attending college (psychology), working out and staying in somewhat good shape. I was collaborating on art projects with friends, and writing regularly. I had hair. Overall positive, maybe sometimes a little cynical but not so much. My anxiety issues were still a major factor in my decision making. Had severe migraines and started taking narcotics for the pain in 2009, it took several months of regular use to break one bad migraine I had. 29: Not very optimistic, no longer attending college (dropped out), not exercising or dieting properly which puts my weight at 240lbs (I'm 6 foot), but I still look good in my opinion. No longer collaborating on projects with friends as they have all given up on focusing on their art, and dug into the trenches of the working class. Very cynical and pessimistic, but still a delight at parties. I've traveled beyond my hobble to other states to visit friends and vacation, so my anxiety calmed down for a while, but has now picked back up again due to financial woes and continuing narcotic use for severe migraines, so I'm very stressed out. I too stopped working on most of my art and don't see myself picking drawing or painting back up, though I am actively working on a story project that's been in the works since the late 90s. I don't have as much hair, in fact, I'm balding now so I shave my head regularly.

Age 14: I was pretty fat and unhealthy, and my mom and dad forced me into playing soccer. I didn't really have any friends and was kind of a social outcast based on my 8th grade year. Now, age 19, I'm still fat but also fit, soccer turned into one of my favorite pastimes, and am one of the most liked people in my age group around where I live. It was a nice transition, 10/10 would recommend.
when i was 12 i was a bullied loser but i have since developed into a friendless loser
