------
I'm Rebecca Jane Brown, born 4th December 1992.
Start: Sep 12 2007, 5395 days old
Last photo here: March 12 2014, 7769 days old.
I intend to do the project for as long as I can, it's still going.
Q: Music?
A: / amarantemusic
Big thank you to Amarante x
Q: How many photos?
-Project covers 2374 days.
-Roughly 2100 photos.
Q: Why are photos missing?
A: Most of the missing photos occur during the first 2 years. 7 years ago, I didn't have my own camera! I relied on a webcam attached to a PC that wasn't reliable and a mobile (which I took 50+ photos on that were lost, when I left the SD card in it when I ended my contract and had to send it back). Files have also gone missing.
Nowadays, cameras are everywhere and I have better technology to keep track of my files/backup.
There are days though, where I struggle to take photos, due to depression, suicidal periods or due to low self esteem caused by my marks and hair loss.
Q: Trichotillo-what?!
A: Trichotillomania. It's a complex hair disorder, where I am compelled to tear it all out strand by strand. It's classified as an ICD (similar to OCD).
I end up with bald patches and thinning hair, most of which occurs on my crown and on the sides by my ears. So several million people get confused when from the front, I appear fine. I have another photo every day project that I've been taking, from the side, that I hope to post soon, when that reaches it's next anniversary.
More information:
/ trichjournal
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichoti...
www.trich.org/
(I also had Dermotillomania: Obsessive Skin Picking).
Q: Shaved?!
A: At the time of each shave, I am roughly half bald, more so round the sides and back. By shaving the hair that is left, it stops me ripping out more and allows my head to heal from the latest pulling spree. It also gives the hair a chance to start again.
Q: Are you cured now?
A: No, it's a life disorder, I still lose hair, but not on the same scale. Every day is a struggle not to revert back to baldness.
Q: Where does the smile go?
A: Life happens, Depression hit rather hard. I'm on the mend.
Q: Why does your hair keep changing, are photos out or order?
A: From 2011 onwards, I started wearing multicoloured wigs.
Q: How do you get yourself to stay in the same position?
A: I try to pose the same every time, and then I re-align every photograph in my video editor. Very time consuming - but it works
Q: Dilated eyes?!
A: My pupils appear to dilate due to the lighting around me. Some photos are taken at night, some during the day and flash plays a part in those white sparkles!
Q: When did the puberty start?
A: Amazingly, this is a popular question. I started around 12, two years before this project started.
Q: Sexual orientation.
A: Most people assume my orientation due to my hair (which is wrong and it's not good to reinforce stereotypes). I'm interested in men only.
Q: What colour are your eyes?
A: Light blue. This appears to change when I am subjected to different lighting conditions.
Q: When did you discover makeup?
A: I didn't use makeup properly till I was nearly 20. I also didn't use any products of any kind till I was 19 due to my skin irritation and lack of knowledge.
Q: Photoshop?
A: Yes and no. 70% of the images have been colour corrected. HOWEVER, I do not edit any of the features and blemishes. The only exception is a few other faces, names and words that feature behind me, I've blurred them out.
Q: Who inspired me?
A: Noah and Clickwhirr (who has removed her videos).
Other people in the video:
Dad, Mum, Grandad, Tabby, Puss, Ginger, Sister, Brother, Sarah S, Robert C, Tyler D, Jim M, Alex, Jillian, Molly, Danny, Eve.
Where were photos taken:
2007/2008: bedroom/loft room.
2009: mainly in the bathroom and then across Europe.
2010-11: mainly in the bathroom
2011-12: Uni room/bathroom
2012 Summer: Across NY
2013 onwards: London flat and out and about
Cameras:
2007-08 Logitech 1.3 MP Webcam, Canon Digital IXUS 65, Nokia 6233
2008 Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS, Photobooth
2009-12 Canon 400D, Photobooth, Ipods
2013 onwards Canon 600D, Photobooth, iPhone 4S
There is an article out there at the moment, which is stating that this is cancer and that I've now died.
Well I haven't died, nor have I ever had cancer. I have had Depression and still have Trichotillomania.
Wow people really don't like to click on videos and/or read the title or description.
Hi ! ^^
I love your videos and comments.
I just had a question, and I really hope I will have an answer.
My best friend started to have trichotillomania when she was a bit younger, but now I think she really has it (by "really", I mean that it is very intensive). She is very stressed. She always snatches her eyebrows, and it is going very disturbing...
Do you have an advice to give her ? =3
An I would tell you that you're awesome, stay strong and stay who you are.
-Sorry for my bad uh.... no -_-very bad-_- English-
Yes ^^ But nobody answered me :(
Wow, you're beautiful :)
My friend had the same thing. Not cancer
Beauty is more than what we see with the eyes.
People are more than their conditions.
I am more than my hair and skin.
This only shows my exterior, I hope that people will check out my videos to see more of the girl inside....
Watching this back is rather scary for me, it makes me both sad and happy at the same time. I'm not an exceptionally happy person and don't pretend to be. What I will say is, that when you see the smiles in this, especially after the baldness happens... those smiles are genuine. I'd rather look back and see a project filled with honesty, than seeing 2000 photos of fake smiles.
I truly do appreciate you watching this and also if you took the time to read the video description.
Rebecca.
Beckie Jane Brown Beckie, what app did you use to center all the photos?
Beckie Jane Brown she in zone. PREACH BECKY PREACH!!!! 😁👏
Smexy Hipsta
Are you kidding me...
15th June 2016 - 15 Million
Well done x this video is amazing and you deserve every single one of those views! :)
Congrats becca
Awesome finally meeting you!
thank you
that was my birthday
she is so pretty omg
*Spits her hot chocolate out in shock*. Nearly two million views in 2 weeks. I'm completely lost and overwhelmed. Thank you everyone! It's amazing how many people are connecting together through these disorders for the first time now. Wow oh wow.
THREE MILLION!
You deserve it keep it up
wow Beckie! you deserve every single one!
Loved the video ,you have the weirdest blue eyes i've ever seen *-* ,02:44 the funniest picture ^^
Congratz!! That's so amazing! :)
What is this song? I can't find it anywhere.. (also, you are stunning!)
i can see the pain in her eyes
Sunny Monroe same
this made me cry realising how fast time goes by
+Jon Snow shut up 😂😂😂
1 month ago...
+GradientDescent well sorry if I'm an emotional being -.-
We've reached 1 million views (in three weeks). I'm lost at this. That is amazing, crazy and fantastic! :D. Thank you everyone! Blimey!
Congratulations! :D
To be honest I discovered Trichotillomania with this video, and I think that this is a good way to make people aware of this disorder and the effects on the life of people suffering of it.
Keep up the good work you're awesome :p
I loved your video, been through depression as well, and could relate...:) glad to know you're better!!
I just wanted to say you're beautiful! =)
So touching and so familiar. Thank you
Give me a break. Those are major problems? Cat ran from home, grandmother passed away, no hair? Thats nothing compared with my life. You would commit suicide after 3 days in my shoes.
TWO MILLION! GUYS! 2 MILLION VIEWS! THANKS FOR SHARING!
The saddest part of this video was seeing her smile start to fade. Especially around the severely depressed portions.
READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST A COMMENT ASKING ABOUT WHY SHE HAS SHORT HAIR!!!
Rebecca did not cut her hair short or shaved her hair off because she wanted to.
She has a mental condition called Trichotillomania which causes her to pull out her own hair. As far as I understand it gets worse when she is stressed, that's why she lost half her hair during her GCSEs. She shaved her hair off to both try to stop herself from pulling out her hair and to let her scalp recover from the damage.
Unfortunately the shaving did not help her stop pulling out her hair.
Now you know why and you don't need to comment with questions about it. Because it was starting to frustrate me and I can't even imagine being Becca and dealing with this.
Beckie, if you read this, I love you and you are so strong and beautiful no matter what, I know you want your long hair and I strongly believe that you will have it one day
Isolde van der Meulen we know u could have said it a bit shorter
I suffer from this shit i dont wish it to anybody its ruining my life literally
thomas shelby you’re not alone it’s horrible
Sky Cloud mine isnt because of stress its a mental health condition . I mean i pull more when im stressed but its not because of that search it up online before making conclusions
@@SkyCloudSilence civilization?! You sure?!
WE DID IT! 10 MILLION VIEWS!
If you add on all the wrongly reuploaded videos, that's a good extra million there too!
WOW, I continue to be blown away - it's incredible!
THANK YOU!
You can copyright claim the wrongly uploaded videos, you know. *****
If you do, you can either take it down, or put an ad at the beginning to have it funded to you. *****
this was boring
I just revisited this video and saw you crossed the 10 million mark. Pretty amazing accomplishment. Congratulations, Rebecca. I am already looking forward to the 7 year video :)
Congratulations 😊❤
As a guy with only a few shirts, i'd be really embarassed to do this.
Haha pretty much
***** At least you're not Seananners am i right lol
***** I wouldn't give a sh** ! My tastes,economical state or whatever it is thats what makes me who i am and im proud of myself as long as im working hard. So dont be ashame ! By the way girls care LOL .
+Longplays Land If you had the same background at least we wouldn't be distracted or get seziurs
+Longplays Land KEy word is "guy". We are simple beings.
i'm obsessed with this video. seeing all those years of achievements and hardships and growing up all condensed into a few minutes just makes me feel a little odd about life. and the music is excellently chosen, it fits so perfectly. i don't even know how to put into words how poignant this video feels to me!! i don't know whether it makes me feel happy or sad but it definitely makes me feel something. i look forward to the next one.
+Jennie Pettifor Thanks for you comment. I agree. It is hard to describe, yet i know exactly what you mean. It's mesmerizing. I flicked back and forth, looking at frames, speeding it up and slowing it down. It's a very intense and intimate condensation of life's experiences.
Ikr. I watch this video like many times
You and our daughter shared similar features at a young age. Sadly, she also passed at a young age. Seeing through your video how she could have grown into a beautiful young woman made me a little sad, but I found it therapeutic as well. Thanks so much for sharing.
YouStupidBunny ? she isn't dead...?
I'm so sorry for your loss...
And I'm glad you have found a little bit of relief...
dude sorry to burst your bubble, becky isn't dead :/
YouStupidBunny i think she meant her daughter died
Cucumber Dwi
They were talking about their daughter..
One of the best parts of this video is the music, and how it just fits perfectly
Hi Chippy I watch your terraria vids :)
6 million
Love how this tells a story in such a short period of time. Thank you for sharing this with the world & stay strong.
You deserve the views dear! I just subscribed today, absolutely love the videos. You're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! ♥ Have an awesome day~
you know that BBC posted this video on their website, right? :D
Hey Beckie, i´m a German girl and i find your video great and so wonderful. I have looked at several times. It´s great and you are great. Greetings Nicole
Do you wear contacts now? Not to be rude but your eyes looked green in those pictures and at the end they were blue, sorry I'm just wondering.

+杨志杰 You can downoad this song with lataayoutube com with this site You can cut rest of shes talking and the end i'm don't renember whwre i find this song but propably on soundcloud

Her face expression slowly changed to sad after a while
Due to depression.
yes omg im glad she got her smile back at the end but still not as big
5 million. Speechless
I'm so glad your channel is doing well.
Give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it. 😁
Awesome video!!
There are no words. Keep on
Congrats!
No surprise. The video is fantastic as manny of your videos are. Watched a lot the last few days. I'm afraid I become a beckie0-video-junkie :-)
Keep your head up, you're great!
14 MILLION! (9th December 2015).
+Beckie0 You are an living example of the fact that everything gets better, you just have to keep on keeping on.
Well done
congrats!
+Beckie0 this videos was My First video On Your Channel, i must Say that i was really Amazed by This Video...
You deserve 14 million views! So happy you hit that mark :)
Can someone tell me the name of the video 3:39
I love how the eyes stay in same place the whole time.... very cool vid, hope u are feeling better these days?
Not to mention that she has beautiful eyes. If you look closely you can see her soul. ^_^
HER PUPILS KEEP CHANGING SIZE OMG TRIPPY
I think its just position of the camera
Your pupils size change according to the light in the room. Get in front of a mirror, close your eyes, open them instantly and stare at your puppils. You'll see them retract.
Dilate*
No, they will retract. When you close your eyes they are wide open to gather light. Open your eyes, they will retract because it's brighter.
They contract and expand to let in the right amount of light for you to see.
We hit 7 million recently, and have gained a fair few hundred thousand more views in the last two weeks alone! It's on the rise again haha! I still continue to be blown away by the response to this, across the web. Thank you! :D.
Yay! I hope you keep making these videos Beckie I really love the song
My last name is brown too !!
I want to give you a hug!
Fps?
Brazil, HU3HU3H3HUEUEHEUHEUEHEUH

***** I have trich since I'm 7. I'm 17. I admire your courage for talking about this disorder so openly. You're a true inspiration for me. Lots of love xxx
Jolie Montage, jolie fille, jolie idée, j'adhère ma chère ^^
Beauti vidéo, Beauti girl, beauti idea, and the worst french Word game ever --'
Your smile started to fade less than half way through it made me sad cause I know the feeling
yea, the music also made it pretty sad
You look amazing with longer hair, but GORGEOUS with short hair! Love the vid!
+Beckie Jane Brown you should grow your hair you look beautiful with it
+christian emmanuell it's not that easy unfortunately
Why wouldn't it be hard?
She has a condition called trichotillomania and has an account dedicated to it. If you watch them you'll see why
better with long hair though
We have just reached 9 million views! WOWOWOWOWOWWWWWWW!!!!!
***** keep going Becca, congrats!! xx
and the song fitted perfectly, good choice
Congrats becca
you are awesome!!!!!
I found this at viralwomen.com/post/woman_takes_selfie_everyday_for_years_while_battling_mental_illness
Posting this is inspiring. I've a friend in Hampshire who has battled with Trich and depression for around 12 years, so it's good to see awareness being raised and I'm so glad you are pushing through and posting amazing things! Thank you.
We hit 4 million late last night
Regardless of what your hair looks like, you and your personality are beautiful.
Keep on keepin' on :)
I always knew that this video was powerful stuff, but FOUR MILLION VIEWS!?!?! YIKES!!! With four million in front, surely five million can't be far behind, can it? Here's hoping your latest milestone inspires you to create more of your powerful stuff, because we dig you just the way you are and just the way you are not.
im sensing that this may be seen on Finebros...thing that get this big this fast usually do!
This video broke my heart.
You were featured in various News pages such as CNN and Russia Today.

Hey Beckie. I’ve always loved your video. Will you be posting an update soon?
Hugo Cornellier wow hugo and beckie
I'm super overdue! :( x
Ur the other guy that did it
The ultimate crossover
I really saw your happiness turn into pain and back into happiness. You could really sense the path you were walking in your life, this was amazing!
I have finished years 1-8 and just not sure what to do about the project. People are telling me that it's not worth uploading it - and to wait two more years till a bigger marker hits the horizon. It's also quite an odd time of year to push non-seasonal content. Just unsure what to do! Sorry about the delay. I have most certainly started year 9.
I don't mind when you post it :) It's up to you :)
yes, it's up to you, what do you feel comfortable with? well, haha I think it would be great if you would bring a 8 years and then the big one, a 10 years... hmmm but it would also be cool to be 2 more years excited for the new one haha :'D. and I would love to have another one of these amazing songs! haha don't look back has become one of my favourites :P. well I think you... it's yours! do what you want ask your family and so on, we are too many, we are just buffling you (right word?). I mean.. we all represent our own meanings, so it's very difficult for you not to get confused. and you can't find the thing you want anymore than.
hmm like in every of my comments. I hope you could understand what I wanted to know. my english isn't the best sorry :).
+Beckie0 Please, post it. I love these, it's amazing to see how you've changed through the years
+Lilli Goll
*what I wanted to say
😂😂
answering it few days later haha
+Beckie0 continue, but maybe make it faster since your puberty is finished and your body does not really change anymore ?
Thank you so much for using our song 'Don't Look Back'. This is an amazing video!!
Thank you very much for letting me use it!!!!
This is so much encouraging and I am so happy to see the understanding between 2 artists.
Amarante Music From this video, I became a fan. Thanks both of u
She is beautiful
Simp
@@handrez. calling someone beautiful isn’t simping? Don’t you call your mom beautiful?
@@hamouziii who calls they mom beautiful
it's so interesting to watch how you physically changed along with the events happening in your life. You have definitely been through a lot and it's very inspiring to watch
This weekend, a good 100,000 people have seen this video! (I think we had nearly 2 million views in a 24 hour period once!) Still this is a HUGE amount of people. It's so difficult to get my head around it
I never realized that this was a disorder. I have been pulling as long as I remember, and tho I haven't gotten any bald spots I still have urges. My scalp is so sore all the time but I feel like that's "reminding" to pull.
Nancy Jordan I felt EXACTLY the same up until I started watching Beckies videos. I never really thought about it. Shes my biggest inspiration :)
***** good job getting through all that bad stuff!
This video proves that anyone, no matter how happy they look, can suffer from depression. Please, anyone who reads this comment, if you have even the slightest impression someone isn't doing so great, just go to them and ask if anything's wrong, offer them a cupcake and give them a hug. Sometimes the cure to depression is just to have someone to talk about it. It doesn't really matter if it's someone close as long as you prove you care. Peace
+Sebastián Cavolina I really wish I could Like your commend but on my mobile that seems not to be possible.
I'm having trouble seeing/reading comments, apparently there is a YT glitch! So I can't really reply at the moment. When it fixes (if) I'll continue replying like I normally would. xxxx
I'm so proud of you Becky... The consistency and commitment of doing this everyday for 6 1/2 years is amazing! Does seeing the final product make it feel worth it all? xx *****
It keeps registering the video with "No comments" and only showing a handful. I'm getting G+ notifications though! I will reply where and when I can! :d.
Em Phillips It does indeed! :D. It does scare me in some way too though. I do wish I'd smiled more, but then smiling back then for me, would have been a lie... it's honest.. and honesty means greatly to me x
***** Honesty is really important. Your honesty and kind nature is what makes your videos and everything you say so meaningful and genuine. You're one of the few youtubers that replies to your subscribers and tells the truth about your opinions. I am in true admiration of you Becky! x
Because sex happens in life :D.
2:25 I CAUGHT THAT TARDIS
yaaassssss!!!!!
Saaaameee XD
+Molliiano OHHH I can't believe I didn't catch that. ;-;
Omg yes! XD
I always simply pause the video at random moments to see which picture comes up i have no idea why i do that. :p
+Fressher JTD ahah i did that as well xD. Its like a game of lottery lol
VFX Ltd™ Lol yup
samee I saw a cat and needed to see if it actually was 1 .cute
Again, I am so honored our song 'Don't Look Back' is in this truly remarkable and amazing video!!!
I find it so cool because if you look closely you can see her pupils change sizes in each photo.
Drugs.. Stimulants most likely.
I was gonna say that
+Hugh Jass i hope you're kidding
+micomator nah
+Hugh Jass Considering she first got drunk at 19, I would say it has absolutely nothing to do with drugs. Pupil dilation and constriction happens from lighting...
Just going through my old list of favourited youtube videos. Some of those are marked as deleted. After a quick google I managed to figure out that one was apparently called "she takes a photo every day: 3.5 years". And look and behold, when I was looking up that title I find this video. And now even that is 8 years old. How time flies.
fav'd
This is one of my ultimate favorite videos in the whole world.. first started watching it 4 years ago when i had trich and was half bold, now it still has the same power.. thank you Beckie for creating such a personal masterpiece. You inspire me and I'm forever changed by finding you at my lowest time and having your videos to guide me through the tunnel
I'm not sure if this has been featured somewhere, I just looked at my statistics and I've gained more than 2000 subscribers today! If you're new to me, hello to you! I vlog, so come and check out the other content on my channel too! ua-cam.com/users/beckie0
Some big accounts on Instagram featured your video. I've loved your videos for a while, and I'm so happy that others getting a chance to check out your channel!
Thank you, I'll try and have a look/find em! Cheers!
No one has tagged me on anything! If you're on there too, I'd be really grateful if you could tag so I can go and say thank you! :D xxxx
***** Seriously, hundreds of people are subscribing by the hour, whereever you are all coming from, heloooooooooooo!
@3.14159265358979323846264 on Instagram posted a snapshot of this video and told everyone to go look at it (:
Most people seem to have been looking at your hair or your lack of make-up but I was looking at your eyes.
Watching the expression in them change, especially when you were going through depression and harassment, had me in tears.
I've been struggling with my depression for months now and this video is the first that has genuinely made me feel like I'm not the only one out there hurting. Thank you for that. ♥
I happened to stumble across your channel long ago and have throughly enjoyed growing into the person you are today! I saw the Easter dinner video when it first went up. It’s been a wonderful journey! Sometimes delightful sometimes heartbreaking - but always REAL and you are a joy to know!
The photo with the words in the background at 2:10 is so powerful . xx
Stay strong Rebecca; you're the bravest person I know.
I have bipolar, generalized anxiety, PTSD, and the warning signs of schizophrenia. Somehow I always find my way back to this video on my worst nights and it helps. It really, really does.
Keep fighting love
+Maveree Miss obviously if she is diagnosed she sees a doctor
Not anymore actually. I've seen many therapists over the years, but I don't have the money for it right now, and every therapist I've seen has made my problems worse. I'm starting to look for a new one, but it'll probably take a while, so videos like this really help me in the meantime.
+glassarrow917 can't they still prescribe pill?
Not unless you're seeing a doctor. The last therapist I saw wanted me institutionalized before they would give me anything. (I talked them down, but it's a big part of how they also forced me out of college for the time being). I've also only ever found a medicine that worked for the anxiety, otherwise, my cat keeps me relatively stable (he's an emotional support animal). Medicine is also ridiculously expensive. Even with insurance I was paying $15 every week or two weeks for like 10 pills. I can only imagine what it would have been without. (I live in the US, so our healthcare system kind of sucks)
That was amazing.
hi Jess ; ) And yeah I agree, it was amazing.: D
I am very inspired watching this one! Going to try this out even though I'm 25 now. It's not actually all about the pictures or how do you look over those years, but I really love the stories behind it. I really wanted to do this thing to express what I'm going through each day and tell people how brave I am like what you did. Lovelots, Rebecca! Subscribed!
Loved this Video since the first day, very emotional
So beautiful. Everything.
who is that
who is that too
Hey Nadine I just checked your channel and it made me so happy!
I remember watching you 4/5 years ago! :D.
I didn't recognise you at first.
Silly thing is, I may even still be subscribed and unaware (the sub boxes are so silly). Thanks for commenting, it's allowed me to find you again x
11.....11 million....111111111!!!!!!! :D
congrats!!! Love from Scotland xxxx
gratz
Congrats Beckie!!!!
UA-cam Video suggestions. Scary stuff - it can make the internet forget you, and it can make you famous overnight.
This is amazing Beckie! No matter how many times I watch this, the music, the editing, the pictures, the concept, something always makes me want to cry. I get so inspired by this and truly touched. Wow, 6 years and you went through so much. I feel like this video really opens yourself up, but actually shows us nothing at all. Then I dig deeper. You are such a creative and dedicated and truly strong person. I applaud you. You really deserve this attention and the 11 million views.
I find you such a beautiful and brave person. I sometimes saw you hold a paper with the word 'hurt' on it. So you're not even afraid to show your emotions even when they would reveal so much of you. You're a huge inspiration to me personally, dear Beckie.
This is very cool and heart touching
She changed so much through out this video, but one thing that never changed was her eyes, her eyes is where the true beauty lies. Wonderful cheers from Canada
I saw your comment on the 100 years in Iran, and decided to check out your videos when I saw the check-mark next to your name. I really loved this video, I honestly felt as though I was looking at myself over the years and it's not because we look alike. You've captured the human condition in such a remarkable way, I am truly blown away. You are very talented and very inspirational to have done this over 6.5 years! Happy to have come across you
Also, now that I am scrolling down, I am seeing these horrible comments. All I can say is that it's hard enough to do this for a week or even a month let alone for 6 ad half years, and everyone is just super jealous! Don't pay them any attention xoxo
I discovered Amarante's Don't Look Back from this video and it's been one of my pick-me-up songs ever since. Can't believe that was about 6 years ago
You just made us see 7 years in 4 mins :) Hats off!
WHY time hone very fast... we have 1 life
That's lovely, Becky! I just showed this to my 13 year old to let her see what kinds of changes are in store for her in the next seven years.
I hope it wasn't too scary or distressing. That's one of my fears, that youngsters will watch and be scared. Hope it was okay? :). x
***** Absolutely okay and not too scary. I had my own scary time around fifteen. I want my daughter to know that she might have scary times, but that she can survive them, as you did and I did. That's the real story.
*****
A kid would have to be pretty overly-sheltered to find that video scary. Nothing you need to worry about.
Life isn't about the destination, it's about the journey!
slylaw89 Absolutely! The journey is life and the destination is death, so of course you should enjoy the journey while you can. :)
This video shows how short life truly is. Its hard to appreciate life when you suffer from mental illness like myself. This video shows life is precious no matter what stage your at.
I've seen this so many times yet this was the first time watching it focussing entirely on one of your eyes. It was so interesting seeing them not really change (bar lighting and makeup) but for everything else to change so much! I love this project and am starting it in the new year 💕
That was awesome. So glad i clicked on it. Missed the captions first time through. Thanks for sharing.
The craziest thing about this video and videos like it is... we've only been able to do things like this for a short time in human history. Think about it: When else in the history of this species could you capture thousands of moments visually and compile them into a fluid transition AND THEN share that with 11+ million people. We live in a world where you can condense 6.5 years into 4 minutes and it's kinda beautiful.
Your vid is awesome. And unlike the 100's of other vids of that kind available on youtube, you have a music that is absolutely gorgeous, with melancholy as tonality. This mix, for anyone having had childrens, and having seen them grow, sees your vid with the feeling of seing his childrens rising and time passing. Pure impressionism. Great art. Congrats.
Do you have any idea what the song is called?
Emmy Smith The song is 'Don't look back' by Amarante. Amazing song!!
Dana46 Thankyou, yes i found it in the description! I am completely in-love with it!

Dude that joke wasn't even funny when people were still saying it. GoCards310
I've seen this video again and again, since 2015 to 2018. So much truth in 4 minutes, this floated my eyes and I've got this deeply emotional feeling every time. I would say: thank you for this big insight of your own
you got a strong personality, and now im 21 like you in 2014
Im empathize every moment and feel so much sadness in your expression that I still cry
If someone give me hope to stand up, the strength to fight again, the feeling to be someone and I can't give something back, then I feel guilty, like now.
You inspire me in ways I never seen before. Oh Beckie0 your heart is on fire, you are the brightest light in the sky and you have restored my faith in humanity
I love you

I still get chills anytime I watch this amazing video, thank you Becki for helping me put a name to the thing I've struggled with since 6th grade, you're a true inspiration. I love you always ❤️❤️
Over 12.5 million views now! It's fantastic how many people have now seen this and spread the word. I remember when it had less than a thousand views!;)x
It's just amazing how the pupils work in the lighting :)
+Jamaican Egg Head It's so weird at times!
i love this video. it really shows how no matter how ill, mentally or physically, you are, you still have to exist through it. wonderful, really.
This is still my ultimate comfort video and I always watch it when I’m feeling low
Beauty cannot be counted, calculated nor quantified. It has nothing to do with how many years have passed, contests won or cup sizes. Beauty is an inner light that emanates from within our hearts and it is reflected in our eyes, and demonstrated more profoundly, in our actions.
I've been dabbling in stop motion art projects most of my life. I started doing it more seriously in 2009 when my little world came crashing in on me. It is my self therapy and happy place. It has guided me through the biggest changes in my life since 2008.
Your craft is wonderful, inspiring and a thing of beauty to watch. I hope you keep making videos, tap into your artistic centre and find a place of peace and tranquility.
You are an amazing young woman.
It was so hypnotic watching those pictures the slight differences to your eyes in every photo was amazing
You are absolutely STUNNING. 😊❤
10 years later and it’d be awesome to get a updated version. You are such a beautiful woman Beckie!
Without sounding overdramatic or anything, but the music along with staring at you and noticing all these events happening around you was really powerful, I couldn't help but cry at some point for a very unclear reason. I guess it was too overwhelming. But by the end of it I felt like I already know you.
You spilled your heart out and you're beautiful, I appreciate the life you've lived. Thank you.
This song leaves my eyes close to tearing up and my lungs aching with the speeechlessness
I started doing a photo a day because of you. Love your channel by the way, xx.
I watched this in 2x speed. A beautiful, melancholy and sentimental journey through some significant years in a person's life. Thank you for sharing this.
She's gorgeous! Congrats on 6.5 years of selfies too!
Sometimes i watch this progression and pause it at random times and look at how beautiful you are in all stages, and how sad as well.
I always come back to this video and I always get goosebumps. I read some comment saying this is scary but to me it's just breathtaking. The way depression takes over a person, I felt like I could see the suffer in your eyes. Gotta say - great choice of music. The song fits perfectly.
I saw this for the first four years ago. Every time i watch this i cry, i can see my own pain reflected in those eyes...
I remember watching the first one of these you did ages ago and thinking how cool it was, thinking of trying it myself sometime :D
Don't wait, go for it! The sooner you start, the more awesome it can be! x
Interesting that you would stop at 6.5 rather than continue to 7? I'm probably just a tad OCD haha, love the video! Insightful and incredible
I was a few months delayed posting and instead of waiting, I just did it an extra half year. The previous video was years 1-5. I'm going to post years 1-8 in September :D x
Gotcha! And awesome, can't wait, this is fantastic stuff!
+Beckie0
bam it's September! I am sooo excited! :D I can't wait :))
That was so beautiful I am sobbing uncontrollably. It’s so amazing to see you grow from a girl into a women the journey is so long but to be able to capture it and show the whole thing at once growing and aging is remarkable and so precious. I am just crying uncontrollably. Thank you so much for this beautiful work. You are just so incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much this is a precious creation. It must be treasured and protected. Bless you so much sweet darling thank you for sharing this. I am just completely slain. I’m down for the count.
I've seen this video so many times cause I love it ❤️❤️️❤️️❤️️
Thank you xx
@@beckiejbrowni still love this video
@@beckiejbrownwhat is the name of the song i’ve never been able to find it i found your video when i was like 9 years old and it’s always been one of my fav songs
It's like watching a flower blossom
That last photo is my favorite. It's the strongest and most beautiful version of you yet. :)
wow this is so raw and real!! Its not very often you find people willing to talk about their life this honestly! You havent aged a day!
UA-cam is suggesting this video. Doesn't UA-cam know that this is how I discovered this wonderful woman?
Sending you some love. You're appreciated.
Thank you! Love received and returned with hugs x
About 10 months or so ago I started doing this. I try to take a photo every day but ssometimes I forget to do so. I started on 21-10 (I believe) and 107 photo's right now. So that's about 1 photo each 3 days or so. But I am only 23 seconds into the video with each photo 0.15 seconds long. Deepest respect for you.
+Noëlle de R. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.studio.selfieeveryday check this out!!!
This video actually changed my life. Watching this years ago got me to look into the skin picking disorder and showed me that that's what I had. Before then I felt so embarrassed and alone. I had no idea it was a disorder. I felt relieved when I knew I wasn't alone. Thank you.
How does people do this? Like the face is always in the same spot
Yeah like what programme does she use to edit the photos??
what is the program called?
+bree rose 23 MSP what program is it
eventho it's been 3 years ago that you guys asked, you guys can try apps Selfie, DailyMe in PlayStore. I don't know if you're using iOS, but I think they have it as well.
@@misterbombasticgralak thank you so much
Am i the only one who become entranced in her eyes
Defiantly not, at some points I had to re-watch them because I got entranced by them
i swear i didnt blink in 3 minutes
lol me neither!
+Oona Anniina I think I blinked twice! x
***** i can't believe you noticed my comment i love ur videos so much :D
Paise every second and you can see a whole new story every time ..
I love how dedicated you are ... Hope you are living your life
I felt through seeing your face over those 3 times or so you shaved your head the stress and pain of that time in your face. Your face started happy, became sad, and towards the end of the vid you look happier again. A general view over the long time period of course. Well done for putting it up ;) xx
