Although the [selfie movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-my-selfie) might be one of the most narcissistic expressions of modern society to date, this time-lapse selfie video shows that there is some good behind such a photo style. Documenting the life of now 21 year old Rebecca Brown over the last six and a half years, the time-lapse selfie video shows her changing both physically and emotionally.

Although a condensed version of relatively short period of her life, the time-lapse selfie video of Rebecca Brown demonstrates how much can happen. Accompanied by powerful captions, she gives insight to viewers about dealing with [severe depression](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-daily-minute) as well as momentous occasions such as graduating and getting into film school. Yet it is dealing with trichotillomania, a hair-loss condition, that truly makes an impact.
