This meme is very adaptable and can be used for pretty much everything you can think of: romantic before-and-after stories, funny and sarcastic posts, and also significant accomplishments that had very modest beginnings.

It appears the “how it ended” form of the meme is largely focused on comical tweets and relationship goals. The “how it’s going” adaptation is about stating personal accomplishments and even some goals that people are working on.

So, it can be said that the “how it’s going” type is more go-getting while the “how it ended” one could be viewed as much more personal and pragmatic.
