With the decade coming to a close, people are participating in the Glow Up challenge of the decade: sharing photos of themselves from 2009 next to ones from 2019.

Noelle Stevenson, the creator of Lumberjanes and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, attached the caption: “Drama club gremlin, you have no idea what you’re in for.”

Some people are sharing their decade-long spectacular Glow Ups that touch on professional and life achievements, as well as style.

While this guy flat out refused, saying “i’d do the 2009-2019 challenge but i’m not interested in documenting a decade of me being ugly for the internet’s sake so there you go.”

Twitter user @ladycoffee had the disturbing realization that high school for her was a decade ago (it comes for us all in time).

While others have taken that realization farther with the “how hard did aging hit you” variation on the original challenge.
