These are the 27 funniest ‘how it started vs how it ended’ memes

How it started memes are taking over Twitter and you can’t scroll through the app without seeing someone’s glow up, the messages they used to slide into the DMs or their wedding pics.

The meme began when a Twitter user, shared two photos with her partner, one with how they began talking and the second the two hugging now. She captioned them “how it started” and “how it ended”. The tweet got over 25k likes and ever since people have been sharing the moment they started chatting to their partner to the place they’re in now.

It’s all very sweet and wholesome, but a bit boring. Luckily some people have been creating parodies of the meme, that either end with “how it’s going” or “how it ended” depending on the images.

Usually it’s in reference to a non-existent relationship or it can be something totally unrelated like how neat your handwriting is at the start of an essay exam versus the end where it looks like a three-year-old has written it.
