<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take a good look at these two photos. They're clearly of the same person but the difference between them is immense. They were taken just two years apart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The photo on the right was taken in August 2006. I've lost a lot of weight. My skin is terrible and my <a href="http://www.beckybedbug.com/2013/08/on-dermatillomania.html">dermatillomania</a> 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. </span><br />
