Changes (1 Viewer)

I have been aware of it for a while but it really hit me hard this morning when I found myself listening to The Smiths and enjoying it (a band that i despised for years)....I have changed a lot.

So as an idea - post a picture of how you were then, how you are now and explain what has changed about you in that time. Im just interested to see how much people change over time.

Me in 2009 - Ladies

Me during the summer (I look exactly the same as that right now)

Its probably easier to chart it by how i was 30 months ago when I started posting on here and how I am now.

19 years old, May 2009 - Listened to Metallica, Trivium, Slipknot, Korn, Dragonforce, Skindred, Iron Maiden et al. I was always into blues because of guitar but only on a shallow level - I hate reggae, indie, 60s etc. I judged anyone that didn't listen to the same music as me (all metalheads do it, im not alone in this).

22 Years old, today. I can't listen to metal at all anymore, i just find it boring I mostly listen to acoustic folk, reggae, pysch rock, blues (I really love blues now). I am apathetics towards every form of sub culture, I still despise popular culture as a cynical industry.

I know it seems like a music thread but for me its easier to chart my changes through music as that its one of the top three priorities in my life and one of the few things that gets me up in the morning. Im just interested in how other people have changed looking from today to a period of time ago.

My Ideologies keep evolving too at 19 I was an athiest, 20 anti-theist, 21 - secular humanist.

This year I went by myself around the world - three years ago I would not have believed that.

I dunno, let the thread die if no one has had this happen to them, im just interested.

Burke - fuck off before you reply with something about how you used to fuck sheep and now you fuck lambs or something stupid like that

(if anyone compliments me on my appearance change - you can go fuck yourself, i lost weight because of depression after my ex fucked me over and changing my lifestlye, i didn't achieve anything).

She was my housemate in my second year of uni, the Kitten was a stray that her friend found in the student village so we took it in until we could find the owner.

Very interesting, j. I might have a go later, but as I think about it I realise how little I have changed in many ways.

So how you were when you were 18 is the same as now?

Sarcasm is lowest form of wit, just so happens to be my favourite

Well of course not exactly the same, i've grown and learned a lot, but nothing has changed drastically. My character is still as it was when i was 18.

Go for it, as I said im interested and it feels theraputic to write it down and thing about how you develop as a person, kind of the main reason I did it.

I still have the same sense of humour, listen to many of the same kinds of things (same genres, though I have discovered more artists), and I still have the same neuroses and obsessional tendencies. I have only really changed in that I have become more confident and more responsible, as most do as they get older.

A little bit more than one year ago, I was able to do whatever I want any time I want. Now I have a 13 month year old son.

Considering I was about to turn 15 when I joined and I'm closing in on 20 now, I have changed a lot.

You were a Milan fan back then

Well, ok, ill give it a go...... I read in your first post Jasper that when you broke up with your ex you were in a depression and lost weight........ When i broke-up with my girlfriend, even though i was only 19 years old i started drinking a lot, being an asshole to everybody and at one point i started doing drugs.......luckily i didnt use heavy drugs so thank God i didnt got hooked and after a year and a half, 2 years i just stopped doing all these bad things and returned to being "normal". So when you take all this into consideration, it is only logical that i can divide my life in two periods, before and after my ex. Before, i was childish, talking a lot, being loud, anoying.....that was a big plus for me at the time cause all my friends liked me, i was the one who was always creating the atmosphere in the company and everyone expected that i will be the one who would make everyone else have a good time whatever we did. But then came my ex, i fell in love with her a lot, A LOT, and then we broke up.... Fuck, it was so hard for me the next two years. But after those 2 years i came out as a much better person, much. Im more serious (even though i still have a great sense of humor), i talk only as much as i should, im more reasonable, dont rush into things, i've just grown up.....To finish up, looking back, i have changed so much that i sometimes cant believe that i was who i was just 2 or 3 years ago..... Music-wise i havent changed at all The only thing that is still left to be changed in my character is my laziness.... i really want to stop being lazy, really!! But i guess that too will change in time.... Picutre of pre and post to follow
