Where does the “Draw My Life” meme come from?
The phrase literally means 'draw my life'. Although the exact origin is debated, some sources cite an Irishman named Bry posting a video in September 2011 as the first instance. Others attribute the trend’s popularity to Sam Pepper, a former Big Brother 11 contestant, who published his version on YouTube on January 8, 2013. His video covers his life from birth to his move to Los Angeles in December 2012 using a whiteboard. The style became a viral trend in 2013 when several UK YouTubers like Louis Cole, Caspar Lee, and Emily Bland (who posted on January 11, 2013) adopted this visual narrative model.
