is it just me or does Dodie look extra cute in this video

DO YOU MEAN EVERY VIDEO SHE'S EVER MADE?

ilovedodie lmao it will never ever just be you

I know for a fact she looked extra cute when she was complimenting herself


i honestly feel as though dodie is talking directly to a lot of us.

Daniel Ryan and it hurt when she said "I dont really like you"

emislame yeah u know the content on youtube is often talking to people? Not just themselves?


Dear younger me<br>You can smile in passport photos for fucks sake.

Dear younger me
You can smile in passport photos for fucks sake.

Mind over Mindfuck I wanted to but the lad said no

Mind over Mindfuck thanks but i gotta have to wait for five more years to change my photo

You can't in Australia because our border security is ridiculously tight and a "neutral expression" guarantees that scanners will match your face to your passport photo.

when i had my first ever passport photo taken, i literally started crying bc you couldn't smile... sooo... yeah... I haven't changed at all!

Mind over Mindfuck no you cant, well canada you cant

I think you can, you just can't show your teeth

Mind over Mindfuck to everyone saying you can't, maybe that's just where you live..? i've smiled in all mine :)

Not full-on teethy smile, but a little smirk rather than a death stare is ok

No you can't? The passport machine literally tells you not to smile

dodie responded to your message. you are the chosen one.

YES. I recently only found this out ...and I'm 20. All my friends get their cute IDs out and then there's me with what a bouncer once described as 'the mugshot of a psychopathic serial killer who's just murdered her three children'

@TobytheRavenclaw Dear younger me<br>No teeth though

@TobytheRavenclaw Dear younger me
No teeth though


I feel like every teenager should watch this video

Literally my thought process before clicking on this video (I am a teen :))😂


Michelle P. omg! im glad 🥺 i saw this comment and i was like where is she now

@xeisoo omg thank you for asking :') I'm 17 actually but I'm fine. just watched this video again cause I forgot a lot of the advice she gave. some of it I haven't had to use yet because not much has happened to me lol but some stuff i can and should try to remember :D

Hello 16 year old you :) just wanted to remind you of this comment and video.

good luck guys!! growing up is tough but we'll all make it out alright in the end ^w^

haha the first thing I thought when I saw the video was,"I am going to take this advice!" ^~^

Good for you, this is great advice to follow :)


"you lazy bitch" I feel like this was targeted at me.

niceu paprika omg I see ARMY everywhere 😂

niceu paprika <br>how could it be directed at you if it was clearly directed toward me?

niceu paprika
how could it be directed at you if it was clearly directed toward me?

Cate Isabella same. I feel hella bad now😅


this feels like advice from an older sister and i love it

yeah especially when you don't have an older sister


Dear young me:
1) your ginger hair is cute af
2) ur not fat. Well like you kind of are but that's fine????? Ur beautiful
3) it's ok that u don't like makeup. I don't either. But it doesn't make you any more "real" than other ppl
4) your awkwardness is going to be with u for a long time but you will learn how to hide it kind of
5) it's ok to say no to someone
6) it's ok to let ppl in and maybe even show true emotions??? Crazy
7) mum and dad are growing too. Look at them. Appreciate
8) and appreciate your brothers. And Nan and grandad. And entire family. They love u. You are SO lucky.
9) Boys' opinions of u do not define you and literally do not matter. Who cares if the cute boys like you or not. You will learn to like you and that's enough. Don't value other's opinions of you over your own opinion.
10) you have so much to learn about people and yourself and the world and you will do this by talking and educating yourself and being aware of yourself in a good way. You will find your feet one way or another. You will do good in the world, every day. But for now, focus on growing. Ur doing okay girl

I know you wrote this two years ago, but thanks!


I wrote a slam poem last year on this very topic - it's a letter to my eight year old self. Hope you enjoy :)

Dear Maddy,
I am writing to you because as you are now, the only change you have known is the change between seasons, and the change between night and day. Change, is something not quite rooted in your vocabulary yet, but in time you will know it very well. You will know the layers of change from the spelling of your name, to the person you describe yourself as. Change is hard to deal with, but it’s easier with a little advice.

Dear Maddy,
Try not to grow up so fast. I know that having a sister 4 years older than you makes you feel like you want to act her age, but don’t. You can get away with doing things that I wish I could do now so enjoy the freedom you have. Your current age is ticket. Ride that rollercoaster until the park closes down.

Dear Maddy,
When you dance, always remember why you are dancing. Remember that it’s because you love it. You love the way the music swirls inside your soul and pumps air into your lungs. Your heart may be pounding at a million beats per minute, but that’s when you feel the most alive. You love the way that jumping makes you feel like your 100 feet above the ground, and that swaying make all the stress in your life fade away. Remember this, and you won’t ever have to stop.

Dear Maddy,
As of this year, you can forever swim sans parental supervision at second beach pool. I know that has been the dream since ’05. Swim like you’re an Olympic athlete racing for the very first time, as you will not get many opportunities to do the same.

Dear Maddy,
If people call you Madison, correct them. I know you think it’s not worth it, and awkward, but it’s your name. Hold your head up high, and stick up for yourself. It seems scary, believe me, I know, but it will help you in the long run. Those who tease may think it’s all in good fun, but if it hurts you, tell them to stop. You are not a doormat. Do not let them walk all over you.

Dear Maddy,
When you go camping, remember every detail. Remember the chill that rushes through your body when heading into the lake, and the way the stars fill the night sky when there’s no city light polluting your eyes. Above all, remember that peperoni sticks are always a good time.

Dear Maddy,
I want you to know that starting now, you will lose a friend at the end of each school year. When they go, it will feel like the world is caving in on you but try not to be sad. There will always a new one headed your way once the leaves turn yellow again. And besides, you will not go through this alone.

Dear Maddy,
Learn to loosen up. You are only in third grade. That mark you got on your 4th spelling quiz will not dictate your future. Save that beautiful work ethic you have until you’re 14. Up until then, having the same amount of dedication as your older sister is just not necessary.
Live a little.

Sincerely,
Madeline (age 16)

This is so not relevant but it's so difficult for my brain to contend with 'maddy' in the poem and then 'maddie' in your username 😭


I'm very young (turning 14 in a week) so thank you for making this video and I will definitely take all of this advice :)

alex wells I'm your age & love how you think you're very young,don't stop thinking that! Every second of my life I'm reminding myself that I can drive in 2 years & marry in 1 1/2

alex wells hey it's been a week, happy birthday you!

Hey, 13 is not young. Age is just a number after all, and what really matters is a person's maturity level :)


"Help mum out with the dishes
You lazy bitch"
it's mIDNIGHT AND I JUST SNORTED LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE MY WHOLE FAMILY

@imhere •.• My humor is dry? i just didnt understand the joke, was it the fact she said bitch?

That is actually so me... I am not proud of myself.

Ok and I've now watched the rest of the video and I'm crying


I'm treating this as a speech from dodie to me ^-^


This is the place I feel most comfortable saying this. Today I told my mum I'm bisexual and she said it's 'not on' and that I'm only young so I can change and I'm not really bi. Please can someone give me some advice?

thebanterloon i’m sorry glad that you’re doing okay and that you answered. i hope that your family will understand one day because if they can’t accept you then they don’t deserve you. keep the people that appreciate you close

@jasper  hello friend,  yes all is well! i've changed a lot since my awkward 13-year-old self posted that comment. while my family is still homophobic i know i have incredible friends that support me through everything. thank u for asking <3

I hope you can explain to her that being bi is a positive thing. It's not hurting her, it's not trying to be different. You love extra

I hope everything is ok by now xx we're all still here for u

I hope everything is ok by now xx we're all still here for u

thebanterloon first off, i love your name. also you might never see this. i just want you to know, no one can tell you how YOU feel. all you can do is know who you love and what you like. please don't listen to people that don't believe you. you are you. sweet beautiful you. I know it prolly seems hard, but I promise, it gets easier as you find the people who really care about you. life wasn't meant to be easy. So if you don't get anything out of this, I'm sorry. but i really hope someone does.

SmolAndTolBeans put it this way, you can't change yourself in this situation, it's your mums thoughts and beliefs that need altering

Only_ a depressed_soul that is the advice I need myself so thank you for commenting this >♡<

also i have a tøp fan acc on instagram it's the_clique_biscuit    just saying

also i have a tøp fan acc on instagram it's the_clique_biscuit    just saying

SmolAndTolBeans well i told my mum in bi and she said that im young and i dk. So i just dealt with it and shes probably gonna realise that in right about who i like bc well.. im me and shrubs doesn't know what i like. I think you shouldn't bring it up again and just date whatever you like and if you date a girl and she finds out she will probably accept it and know your bi

Similar for me. My mum sorta tried to make me think I was straight and I eventually agreed with her to shut her up and I'm kinda on the closet again.

Hehe? Eh.

JUST NEED TO WAIT ANOTHER SIX YEARS >♡<

SmolAndTolBeans this exact thing happened to me a couple months ago

SmolAndTolBeans this exact thing happened to me a couple months ago

SmolAndTolBeans I went through something similar I came out to my mom and she said "no you're not" and we haven't talked about it since. I know it's hard, but just lay low until you know you are safe and bring home whoever you love. Just know that it will pass, she will be okay with it, and you know yourself better than she knows you. Have a lovely day💛

SmolAndTolBeans be you your mum will eventually come accept you she can't stop you from dating boys and girls so be yourself and if you need someone to talk to message me on twitter @kylie_burritt

SmolAndTolBeans If you feel comfortable as bi, then f-ing be bi! It's not a 'on' or 'off' thing! If you like and are comfortable being bi, go ahead she isn't going to stop you and realisation of what sexuality is isn't only realised as an adult even if you're a child you could realise that you're <b>insert whatever</b>

SmolAndTolBeans If you feel comfortable as bi, then f-ing be bi! It's not a 'on' or 'off' thing! If you like and are comfortable being bi, go ahead she isn't going to stop you and realisation of what sexuality is isn't only realised as an adult even if you're a child you could realise that you're *insert whatever*

SmolAndTolBeans Even if you said you were straight tomorrow, and gay the next, I don't care. Do what makes you happy

It doesn't matter what your mum thinks about your sexuality as long as she doesn't treat you badly for it. It's not her right to tell you how you feel. While she is partially right, sexuality is fluid, don't listen to anybody who tells you it's just a phase or you're only saying that for attention. Only you know how you feel, and if you say that you're bi, you're bi. Nobody knows you better than you know yourself. It may seem difficult or annoying, but don't worry. Eventually, things get better.

SmolAndTolBeans your mom isnt right or wrong.. you can change , TRUST ME. but you don't have to , don't feel like you do. just be who you are. experiment. be you , you don't even have to say you're bi. you like people? cool. work on that , and just be comfortable with who you are. here's the sucky part however; think about your mum. don't hate her , because she was probably just surprised. sometimes people don't know how to handle things. it sucks , but just give her some slack , and maybe shell do the same ;p good luck!

SmolAndTolBeans I told my mum a few days ago that I was bisexual and at first she said it was a phase, then she said she didn't approve of it. I understand, so many people are going through the same thing. Don't feel pressured to label yourself, you might change, you might not. Most people are bisexual, whether they realise it or not. Stop caring what they think, although I know it's frustrating xx

SmolAndTolBeans my friend has the same problem with her mom her mom said it was a only a phase but what you need to understand it that you mom is wrong but leave it as that. she has to adapt to you you stay the way you are because your perfect. she needs to understand and realise that it isn't a phase and also who cares what she thinks at the moment go and date boys and girls live your life to the fullest

SmolAndTolBeans hey bro, first things first, your mum is wrong, you CANT change. Sexuality may be fluid but you can't alter your attractions towards people of your gender. You need to read up on lgbt history and culture so if there is no solidarity, you can read a book about an activist and say "wow they did that??" and gain confidence in your identity. friends are your support and the people you lean on right now. You can't complain about your queer ventures and downfalls to your parents because they sound homophobic, but you CAN do this to your friends. Go out there, find people of your gender and people not of your gender that you like. Date them, find that feeling of love somewhere else that isn't at home. I wish you the absolute best of luck, i was once where you are and i haven't exactly crawled out of the hole yet but i'm slowly getting there. Vibes of strength and positivity from your fellow bisexual

SmolAndTolBeans your mom is ignorant to your feelings and disregard it. Do same with her opinion. You are what you are and you know it better.  That's it.

SmolAndTolBeans My mom thinks the same thing ,she ignores it like I never said anything the only advice that I can give you is wait ,because one day she won't be able to deny it

I haven't told my mum. I've told my dad, my siblings, my friends...not my mum. Never my mum.

I haven't told my mum. I've told my dad, my siblings, my friends...not my mum. Never my mum.

Firstly congratulotions. Secondly if she doesn't believe you, don't worry. In a few years, try tell her again.Or you could just not take my advice because I suck at it and do what makes you comfortable

My mom told me the same thing when I came out. Nearly a year later I've never been happier to be bi whether she believes me or not. Being bi can be so tough because many people believe us to be in a phase or that we have to choose. That simply isn't the case! What matters is that YOU are comfortable with who you are. No one else has experienced a day in your shoes. They cannot say they've felt your feelings with absolute certainty. What I mean to say is this: there will always be someone telling you that you are wrong, or that your sexuality isn't real. There will always be someone against you. It is an unfortunate truth. But coming from a person who has been where you have been I can promise you that the moment you are able to accept yourself, you mother's belief of your sexuality and anyone else's does not matter. I truly believe my mom will come around with time. I have the same hope for you. I'm terribly sorry that you had to experience that but you are braver than ever for having the strength to tell her the truth.

Much love from one bi to another <3
Good luck out there :)

ignore it, know in your heart she's wrong and only you know you, continue to be yourself and love your life (as well as loving whoever the frick you want to love)

im sorry dude that sucks, but try not to let anyone invalidate your identity.  your mom not believing that youre bi is just ignorance on her behalf and has nothing to do with you. some people wont understand right now, but dont let that stop you. there always will be people who do accept you. hope youre doing alright fren, i know coming out can be hard <3

Your mum can't change your sexuality because it just isn't possible, end of. You need to help her understand that but if she's just stubbornly opposed to it then you'll have to deal with it and accept that she doesn't like it. What's she going to do, in all reality?

SmolAndTolBeans also that is a very nice picture☺☺☺

SmolAndTolBeans also that is a very nice picture☺☺☺

SmolAndTolBeans

1: accept yourself and love yourself ❤❤❤

2: you don't have to lie

3: build up a support group around you full of people who accept you

4: don't agree with here that's it's "just a phase" but don't argue with her either. That will just cause unnecessary pain.

5: find someone to talk to

(You can message me any time... it might be weird to talk to a complete stranger on the internet... but it might also help... my twitter is itismestella )

I love you for who you are ❤ and you are brave❤

ps I love your account name☺❤

SmolAndTolBeans ignore that statement. At the same time continue to establish your own opinions and sooner or later, your mom will realize that you can think of your own

That's a truly sweet message but "can't be your mother" look, at the original commenter, it's okay that you're mam isn't okay with it. Many parents aren't at the beginning and that's okay! They don't have to agree with everything you do! You are different people, you're mam was probably brought up to think that way so don't blame her for judging, blame society when she grew up. Instead, help her get used to the idea. Don't mention it for a while then later bring it up again. Then, if she gets angry, drop it for a while (I'm not saying pretend you're not bi, but in front of you're mother, don't regularly bring it up.) Eventually you're mother will see you as an adult capable of making your own decisions, maybe it's by doing something completely unrelated that's responsible but she will respect you as an adult eventually.

Storytime: I have a friend who first came out as bi, then later gay. Initially his mam and dad were fuming when he told them, his mother even grounded him.  But after a few weeks they started coming around to the idea. A year later and his mam was on our frikin local radio preaching to other moms to be open to their children's sexuality and talking about how much she regretted being so horrid to her son for being brave enough to tell her. I was in the car with my mam where she pulled over to listen properly at the time, that was how strongly she spoke. All because she saw her son with a boy in town and saw how engulfed in happiness he was and how he had been hiding his bf from her, because she had been so mean.

Sorry for the essay, just give you're mam time and respect that she wasn''t brought up in the internet era where everyone has access to info on lgbtq+ etc. and are taught that it's bad. Her childhood probably wasn't nearly as open minded as yours.

Regardless, congrats for being so brave, and don't be too hard on your mam. If you work together and see each others side of the story, it will be better for your relationship in the future. And believe me, having your mam as a safety net when making big/life changing decisions is the best thing ever
With love, K xxxxx

Idk if they're irish but in ireland that basically means it's not happening, or not okay x

Idk if they're irish but in ireland that basically means it's not happening, or not okay x

If your own mum can't accept the fact that you're bi, then she can't be a mother. I honestly feel awful saying that, and I'm really sorry if I offended you, but seriously, it's her bad that she can't accept you for who you are.

Just remember that being bi is the best thing ever. I am, and it's one of the only positive things in my life. F**k anybody who tries to put you down for it, you are you and that's all people should wish for. The LGBT+ community is an incredible place, and everybody is wonderful. No sexuality is above anybody else's.

I wish I could say that I'm out to my parents, but I'm not. I've taken advice from other LGBT+ members and I'm not gonna come out until I'm financially capable of supporting myself, just in case. I wish I'd found out about you sooner, because I would have told you about a video by Boyinaband called "Coming out can be a bad idea". Even so, I advise that you watch it anyway, as it may provide you with some extra helpful information.

Remember that you are a beautiful human being, and you are no less than anybody else. You can't change who you are, and people need to understand that. Never give up to what your mum is saying, because by being adamant shows that you're serious. It may even change her opinion.

I hope I've helped at least a bit. Unfortunately I don't have any social media that you can contact me through, but I'm always happy to talk in the comments if you want to.

-Bryony <3

SmolAndTolBeans you're parents don't decide your sexuality you do.  If you know you're bi then live  your happy bi life and eventually they will accept you and if they don't that's their problem not yours

SmolAndTolBeans I had a similar-ish situation with my dad but he kind of said it in code if you know what I mean. Just ignore what they say for now and one day you can come home with a partner the same gender as you and be like HA I WAS RIGHT BISH. Which will feel great. Once your older you can leave and be by yourself without her judging you and you'll be okay. I'm always here to talk if you need me!

SmolAndTolBeans go on living ur life happy and bi and maybe she will eventually open her eyes to the truth. it may take some subtle convincing on your part. But don't let others bring you down.  And if anything i support you and your closest friends do too 💖stay strong


I would tell my younger self that I'm gay so my time won't be wasted.

Aurora Sparks We all grow up not really wanting to be gay but then it's like who cares I'm gay


Are you sure you didn't accidentally write this to me?


This is so cute and so full of good advice


I feel like Dodie would make a good primary school teacher.


Dodie, I swear it feels like you're talking directly to me. You're just so sincere and I feel like you're the older sibling I never had. Loved the vid and love you!


This was exactly what I needed. I'm 13, and I've been depressed for a while. I'm not anymore. It feels so good to be able to say that. After the depression, I was depersonalized for a while. I went into this little corner in the sky of my mind and hid. I'm back now. I'm alive. I haven't been for a while. It's a nice feeling. My anxiety is still strong, though. And I'm so afraid of depersonalization now that I cry at everything. This reminded me that I'm not the only one going through this. It's normal. And other people get through it. That happens all the time. It's been a long time since I was depressed. It's been a long time since I wanted to kill myself. I'm really and truly okay.


The cute, little, aesthetic of this video.


I needed this video. I've been feeling really funky lately (I don't quite know why). listening to this made me... realise.

what a nice word. realise. I've REALISED things. realise.

Sorry I'm new here, but are you the real Rose Clark the Doddle, or her fan? :)

Tistam Potter I think it depends where you're from?

Rose Clarke Wait.. Is it realise? I always thought it was realize. I JUST REALIZED MY LIFE IS A LIE

XselfishxmachinesX bruh I think u got d wrong person. Found you anyways tho:)

@allthewayinj0llycity.png and I high-key Stan your acc whoops

True. Realise is real plus... ise... ising... ice! Really good ice 👌

Rose Clarke I felt the same too. I really needed this

+susan1999 your doomsday david tennant profile picture makes that comment even better

Rose Clarke i mean this year is about realising stuff

Repeat after me, sweet summer beans: "r e a l i s e"


Dodie this is amazing and wonderful and ridiculously helpful to so many of your viewers (myself included). Thank you for everything you do. This video is inspiring, and it really made me sit down and think about myself - both my past, present, and future selves... and I've realized, like you, that I've still got a lot to learn and a lot to accept about myself. I also don't know everything and I need to understand that I never will. I, too, struggle with accepting the way I look/act/talk/think, but with help from people like you this will only get easier.

Dear younger me:
Please wear your glasses, they help you see and no, you don't look THAT terrible in them.
Freckles are not awful, and once you learn to compromise with your curly hair, you two won't despise each other so much.
Your body type is beautiful. You may be a twig, but you're a fucking cute twig. (also small boobs are great, love them).
Boys don't dictate your life - you do.
Also girls are pretty nice...and not just in the aesthetic sense.
Help your mom out around the house a bit more. She does so much for you. Also, no matter how frustrated with her you get, never EVER tell her you hate her, because she loves you unconditionally.
And your dad - you're more like him than you think. Embrace that - he's the strongest person you know. Things might look bad for him for a while, but he survives. He beats the odds.
Don't be so afraid to tell people you love them, and how much they mean to you. Sure, some of them will leave, but you WILL find the ones that will stay forever.
Put your own mental health first!! Please! It's okay to feel sad, and it's okay to need time alone, but remember that people love you and are always there for you if you need them.
Stop being so overly-concerned about the way you look. Everyone has something in their teeth every so often - it's not as big a deal as you think.

And finally (since this is the longest comment I've ever written)...
Dear Dodie: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for uploading and for sharing these intimate parts of yourself with us. You mean so much to me.


This actually made me realise a lot thank you Dodie


I feel like one day I'm going to say nearly the exact same things to my younger self because even though I'm hearing them now, I probably won't change until I realize this stuff on my own


I love these videos because you just get to see how much people can grow and change and better themselves and thats really great


this was surprisingly incredibly uplifting


"And finally, everything's going to be okay." this is why i love dodie and she inspires me to be myself <3


"not everyone looks at girls the way you do" So true lmao...before I figured out I was bi/pansexual I just tought that it was normal to be very aware of how <b>goodlooking</b> girls were....

"not everyone looks at girls the way you do" So true lmao...before I figured out I was bi/pansexual I just tought that it was normal to be very aware of how *goodlooking* girls were....


that "everything will be okay" is the most sincere one ive heard recently :") even if we dont know each other personally, dodie, thank you so much and im so glad to have seen your channel in my recommendations :)


This is very emotional and I'm not sure why


dear younger self:
-asking for help is okay. therapy is good, therapy is helpful, and you deserve to feel better.
-don't use that terrible coping strategy, you know the one I'm talking about, don't even start, it isn't worth it
-don't try and be someone else so that people will like you. it's not worth it and the real people will like you for who you are
-try and get along with your parents... yes I know it's hard but just try
-it's okay to be single
-stop trying to be emo. I get it you feel depressed so you want to look depressed but just no, stop. wearing band shirts is okay but it doesn't have to be all you wear.
-having said that, listen to whatever the hell kind of music you want to
-try to not be so insecure over everything, no people don't care, and they aren't always judging you

these are kind of things I feel apply to me even now so it's a good list for me to work on. hope that if someone is reading this is helps them too 😘


Thank you so much for this. I'm a very sad and stressed and anxious and confused teenager, but that made me feel a little bit better..


you don't even imagine how much i love your videos<br>thank you for making them

you don't even imagine how much i love your videos
thank you for making them


I come back to this every once in a while, I’m 17 and scared of becoming an adult and this makes me feel better.
also the helping out mum thing - I started making a conscious effort to help her as much as I could a couple years ago and it’s made the world of difference, all bc I heard Dodie tell me to
thanks Dodie.


Thanks Dodie, I feel like you're telling me stuff that deep down, I already know, but hearing it from someone else makes it feel more....real, in a way. It means a lot to have someone give advice like this, no matter if it's someone I've never even met before. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel <3 (and the whole blobby nose bit especially hit home for me, so special thanks for that XD)


This is the first video I've ever seen of you and omg I love your glasses and your super cute subscribed ;)


I really needed this video right now...
I've been having a lot of self image problems and I've just been falling into this whirlpool of self pity. This really helped me realise the stupidity.
thank you❤❤❤❤


If I were to tell my younger self anything I would say to be more brave. To clarify not a Gryffindor brave, but more of a Hufflepuff brave. Take risks on being open with people and be your true and complete self. Be a loyal giving friend and don't judge those around you. Your never going to be cool enough to be a Hufflepuff, because deep down you will always have the relentless drive and show off tendencies of a Gryffindor. Still, you will never be happier than when you learn how to be a little more like a Hufflepuff.


"Masturbating is not evil." It's nice to hear this from someone I look up to lol


You know it's a good video with a strong message when all the comments are about how well they can relate. It really proves the point you're making about how everyone has these problems, so there is a way to deal with them. I love you so much Dodie. Stay awesome! ❤❤


Haha. "I don't like you but you'd like me."

One can only comfortably say that about themselves.


Okay I always say that I feel like Dodie is the older, better version of me so I take this as if she's talking to me personally.


As a younger viewer I love this so much, I struggle with anxiety and depression myself thank you you are amazing


"help mom out, you lazy bitch" OH MY GOD THIS IS SO ME


I literally found this so inspirational and it made me feel stable, love youuuu xoxox


I feel like younger me would relate to a lot of this


this is officially my favorite video from you I love the message so much :))


Every time someone is going through crap, I'll show them this! I love you Dodie, we all do


This really helped me as a younger girl. I really took this to heart. Thanks Dodie.


This was actually really helpful 😊 thank you ❤


Dodie! I love how you are so unapologetic about anything. You are an extreme inspiration to me. you are amazing! I love you. Thank you for this. Xxx


I can't put into words how important this video is,I needed to hear this! 💕


I love these 'dear younger me' videos 💓 this one was beautifully executed


I feel like Dodie is that older sister who is genuinely nice and kind and we're all the little siblings who want to be her but then she teaches us to love ourselves just as much.


this has become my most favorite video of yours starting from now. thank you so so much for making this video, love you dodie. xx


Oh my goodness, you're so insipiring! Most of theese things are the things I wish the younger me knew and, guess what? The current me needed to hear them too! You make my day, every single day. Thank you xx


I love this video, and I love this advice, which I'm trying to learn and incorperate into my awkward teenage life, and I love the outro, and I just love it all<br>Thank you Dodie, so much

You're so lovely and I love listening to your voice- it's so soothing 🌸 kinda wish we were friends haha x


Thank you very much dodes ❤ I can sleep easier after this lil pep talk (nearly put pepe talk oops) im 15 and definitely still have a lot to learn

jaycee garrido yep me to I think she helped me alot


This is amazing Dodie. I am only 16 and I still look back at my younger self and cringe. this made me happy.


this is the most genuine, pure thing ever. when i'm your age i'd love to do something like this. what age of you were you talking to? or was it just younger you in general? ♡


You have no idea how much this resonates with me, thank you Dodie :)


I just added this to my bookmarks. As a teenage girl, this was wonderful to hear. <3


I really feel as if this could be directed to me. It really relates to how I feel and everything. Thank you for making this. You have no idea how much this helped me, and how amazing this made me feel. Thank you, Dodie. <3


Honestly, watching this made me feel like as if she was teaching ME a lesson and i feel really good about it. I feel like i actually learnt a lot


Dodie, I'm going through a really difficult situation right now. And hearing you say all these things, has given me strength. Especially your last message. 'Everything is going to be okay.' I needed that. Thank you. Thank you.


I LOVE THIS!!!! Literally made my day! Thanks Dodie 😊 xxxx


Thank you a lot for this, Dodie, and for everything you have done for us and for yourself and will continue to do (you will, right ?).<br>Actually, I am simply thankful for your existence. Much love from France xx

Some of this helped with my anxiety, thank you Dodie. ❤❤❤❤


I love how honest you are to yourself Dodie, you do you boo x


Taking all of this in <3 This is the advice I've needed


dodie you continue to surprise me and make me smile. This was wonderful :)


This is so beautiful. Dodie, you are loved. ☺


ive been having a rough time lately but this video really cheered me up and i feel like i also needed to hear some of these<br>thanks dodes ily

thanks dodes ily


Gosh, I needed that video right now. I'm going through so much stuff currently, and this video cheered me up alot. Thank you❤


Amazing message tho Dodie. You are full of wisdom like an old man or an owl. But you are young and beautiful. 😂😂😂wow that just came out.


What a lovely video! It was great watching this because some of the things you said really reminded me to just be me! Love you Dodie!


Wow okay I think I actually needed to hear a lot of this today. Thank you Dodie. You just grounded my anxiety.


You were my motivation/inspiration to get my haircut and get a new fresh look, thank you so much, best decision I've made. I feel pretty great. All thanks to you x


I want to be like you when I'm older. You're goals af like your so peaceful and I will try to grow up like you❤


I'm not sure why I teared up afterwards but I did. Thank you dodie for helping realise things X


This video wasn't only directed to her younger self. I think it was also directed at her teenage audience as well (love you Dodie 💜)

Typical Madi SOOOOO TRUEEE i feel like she's talking to me


This is so amazing Dodie! I honestly wish I had this when I was younger. I completely agree with you though. I had terrible anxiety and depression (still do) this would have helped younger me so much. But I grew and figured it out on my own. We make alot of mistakes in our lives but those mistakes make us the people we are today, because we learn from them; but anyways, Thank you so much Dodie!


Thank you so much for this video,  I think it's really helpful and makes me happy/comfortable/confident with  myself and the situations that I face!  :3<br>Thank you again and I hope you have a great day! <3

Thank you again and I hope you have a great day! <3


This really helped me, especially because I just started my freshman year in high school and stuff is hard. Thanks Dodie!!!


That ending made my day. Thank you Dodie! :)


your videos always make me feel better no matter how much of a crap day i've had so thank you :D


I'm the same age as you and even i need some of those bits of advice! Thank you for sharing. Good talk Dodie, good talk.


what I would say to my younger self:
1) just because someone tells you they like you doesn't mean you have to like them back
2) it's okay to like people other than guys! embrace it!
3) don't worry about your thin hair, it will get a tad thicker and here's a hint: side bangs are v helpful
4) please don't bottle up your feelings, just tell a certain person or even your cat to get it all out
5) it's not the end of the world when the guy you thought you liked moves on
6) take advantage of the time you have! say yes to that ice skating thing (but don't be disappointed when you can't go)
7) don't be so worried about school. yes, it will be difficult, but your health is more important


Thank you Dodie. Thank you. I really really needed this today. And I don't think anyone can understand how much this helped me right now. 💕


I have to say this:

You literally are my favorite person ever. really. I just wish I knew you personally and you could help me with everyone and everything. anytime I see your video in my feed, it literally makes my day. really. I found you through looking up ukulele tutorials, and I was obsessed ever since. I hope this sounds sweet not stalkerish, and I hope you see this. I LOVE YOU AHHHH 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜


As someone that is younger than you, this helped me so much. Thank you so much :)


This is so odd! OMG i needed this video at this exact moment. Thanks for answering my prayers again Dodie!


Cute, true and a sparkle of humor :D<br>You rock!!

Cute, true and a sparkle of humor :D
You rock!!


I just realized some of these things on Wednesday. I needed my mother to assure me I didn't have a label for what made me supposedly "different". It's a crazy amount of anxiety, which can lead to way too much stuff. I'm so glad this video is here for everyone to see, because though it was addressed to younger Dodie, I think many people might get inspired from it, or at least have some thoughts come up. Thank you Dodie for the inspiration you are to me and others.


Thank you so much-this is what I really needed! Have a good day, dodie :)


i love this video so much it's so cozy and cute


Omfg why do I relate so much to this? This is literally 100% young me!! Thanks you for this video, Dodie, it's made me realize how much I've grown in the past few years <3


this is so relatable.  I absolutely adore it. thank you Dodie


I'm going to watch this every morning for motivation, thank you dodie


21 in two months and my nose is still blobby :(

seriously considering making one of these myself, I bet if everyone did one there'd be some common shared themes but also a lot of cool individual stuff!


I really enjoyed the thought put into this video, and it encouraged me to make a video like this on my channel too! 💕 please make more videos like this, as I always love how they turn out


Damn. I just rewatched her dear 25 year old me video, and reacting to my 20 year old self video and now this. She’s changed sm each time and I’m so proud :,) we love you girl

Damn. I just rewatched her *dear 25 year old me* video, and *reacting to my 20 year old self* video and now this. She’s changed sm each time and I’m so proud :,) we love you girl


this was really helpful :D

also
the "giving up streaks" thing and the thing about not helping mum with the dishes just kind of hit me
because it's literally me lmao


this actually helped me alot. i can relate to younger dodie and this really did help <3


so adorable and honest and dodie and ahhh


I needed this video ❤❤ every time i feel anxious or bad im going to see this video to remind me that everything’s okay


It literally feels like she's talking to me, I can relate so much to almost everything she's saying


Thank you for this Dodie! I needed this right now!


aaaaaa so a friend of mine simply said that i'm using my insecurities as an excuse again.. i need this so much.. thank you dodie ❤


"Everyone is pretending to be an adult, noone knows what the're doing" <br>The best quote of the year ! I LOVED it

"Everyone is pretending to be an adult, noone knows what the're doing"
The best quote of the year ! I LOVED it


dear younger me — well... dear current me, really, and in the future me:
1) literally stop being so angry all the time... you've seen enough anger around to last a life time. sometimes, you can just move on and let go
2) friends are great! stop isolating yourself for fear people don't like you, bc when you stay away from people, they tend to think that you don't like them, and therefore, they won't like you. jump around from group to group, be kind to everyone you meet, and that's how they'll like you!
3) don't stop reading or writing or singing or drawing. it's okay if people call you a nerd (they're only joking, they don't hate you for it), or if someone jokes about how you never shut up (they really enjoy your singing, they're just picking at you), or if someone makes fun of your drawing (they're serious, that is really is bad, but that doesn't mean you should stop)
4) be happy! being negative doesn't help anyone
5) self deprecating jokes really aren't that funny they just make you feel bad
6) stop. being. so. dramatic. it's ok to just chill sometimes; you're FINE

Ana Flavia this made my entire day. thank you so much 💕


Weird, I felt like this was for me right now. Thank you, Dodie


this is so beautiful - I love you dodie❤


Thank you dodie, just got everything.<br>I love you a ton and I think you're very pretty and you're voice is so nice also this channel is just beautiful. Thank you for all you do for your viewers. You're one of the most down to Earth (at lest I think) YouTubers I watch. Love you <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Weirdly enough this made me feel better about myself in the sense of letting things go and being who you no matter what others thinks

thank you :)


I was watching this and my dad walked over and said "lol is that Harry Potter?"

I'm done bye


I feel like you're the older sister I never had I love IT


You are so cute and seem so authentic and real! thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us ^_^ and I love your glasses


Dodie, I love this and I needed this. Thank you!


Is it true that Dodie only wears glasses for aesthetic reasons or did I imagine this?

Ahh.. thanks! Bit weird of her really haha. :)

Becki P I think in the Glasses USA ad with Evan she said she didn't need them


I always watch this whenever I feel bad or anxious about anything. It really helps!


I loved this so much. I'm 18 in a couple of days, an although that is still very young on the spectrum of age I can relate to a lot of what you said, especially the part about no one caring how you look, I haven't been out in public without makeup on in 3 ish year, I'm still trying to love my skin I'm not there yet, but hopefully one day I will be. Oh an the masturbation thing is so true, I wish people (mainly girls) would be more open about it and talked about it more. Thanks Dodie, much love.


And somehow, I felt like you were speaking directly to me.

Thank you. Oh god this hit home.


I love this so much. The way you speak to your younger self is quite funny 😂 But, this really helps. I kinda have the same thoughts and insecurities and young lil dodie, so to have older dodie kinda tell me this too is really lovely. It's quite scary how similar our thoughts and problems are. I hate my nose, I'm worried about my small boobs? Masturbating? Kinda scary when people tell you its not normal. Girls? wOW. Boys? wOW. I should totally help my mum out more omg I am a bAD PERSON. Drama queen? Tell mE about it omg. (also, if you do see this dodie, where did you get those lovely glasses from?)


Thank you so much dodie. Especially the last thing hit me hard and I felt like you were talking to me. Now I'm crying but it's ok. It's not a sad cry, it's not a happy cry either. It's probably somewhere in between. Anyway this was such a nice video. love you!


“not everyone looks at girls the same way you do” <br>i laughed so hard this is literally me 😹I Love u dodie😹💓

“not everyone looks at girls the same way you do”
i laughed so hard this is literally me 😹I Love u dodie😹💓


this is a real clever way of subtly giving advice to your younger viewers wowee


I'm so glad I watched this because  otherwise I would still be faking to like this guy even when I didn't. Thank you Dodie, this was helpful because I can't think by myself lol


Dodie, I just fecking love you, okay? What a lovely video and lovely messages with touches of humor that make it oh so wonderful. I'm glad your younger self became the person you are today, and I hope your older self realizes all this too! xx


This video made me so comfortable I love it so much. This was so real and raw and still funny. I don't know how you do It. I can't wait to be able to look back and do something like this.


I really needed this video, so much of it applies to me. thank you dodie


you're so fluffing adorable! Thank you for this x


Thank you for this, I've been over estimating how big my problems are and this has made me feel chill and at ease less anxious because I don't know what the future holds and realistically i don't need to know. Lx


im 13 now and some of this advice actually applies to my life right now. thank you so much💞


there is a video about glasses where she put a link in the description, it's a song she made with evan, idk the name right now

do you know where she got them from please?


Why is this so helpful? I don't understand, its literally just you giving advice to your younger self, and yet it feels like you're giving it to me xD thanks either way dodes!


"not everyone looks at girls the same way you do.. i know!"

literally me

here is a small note for my younger self:

it's okay not to have crushes on guy or girls or anyone
it's okay to be alone


Your younger sister is SO lucky to have you! I wish I had someone like you to say these things when I needed it. Or I wish I was good enough to say these things to my little sister but I'm not.


So very very good <3 <3 I needed this. Thank you for the sincerity Dodes.<3


I LOVE THIS. You are absolutely my idol and I want to meet you! CONGRATS YOURE TRENDING! I've watched this a million times. I love you!


When dodie said 'everything will be okay' It made me really emotional and tear up, am I okay? Oh god


this video is everything, you are amazing Dodie!


giving up streaks,lmao story of my life when I was like 13


This made me cry. Genuinely. I think I'm about the age Dodie was talking about in this and I have learned more in this video than in a whole year of school so far. We need more Dodies in this world.


dodie has gotten too pretty. i can't handle this.


omg this made me cry :') it's so true...Doddie you're the best!<3


oh my goodness dodie you posted this literally the day before my 13 birthday and you actually taught me a lot thank you very much! :)


i've been having a bad week and when i've been sad i just watched dodie and i felt better. thanks :)


it was just the right time for me to see this. Thank you Dodie


You are a gift to this world. I can't even begin to explain how much I look up to. Thank you for existing. Love you 💕


I related to this so much I started crying because it felt like all of it was aimed at me. For once I have found someone exactly like me!


I love this so so much. I'm starting to think about what I would tell my younger self, but it's hard because I don't really like my younger self... I don't even like my 2 years younger self. But I like the person I am now so it's fine xD


I'm still a smol so I'm taking this advice thank you so much Dodie💕


this is so nice i love this. ur giving advice to us young people who r scared and hate the things they do even though it's most likely completely normal, bc u learned all this urself and decided to share w the world i love u dodie im glad u exist


if you pretend she's telling you these things, it really helps and changes your perspective 👌


Dodie, you are so amazing and talented and I love your videos.... <br>I felt like you were talking to me in this lol. Especially the "help mum with the dishes" part (sorry mum, love you!) Oh also, how did you get your fringe that way (like how did you get it cut)? Love you videos~ I watch at least 2 videos a day... (I have a problem....) Ok creepy fangirl(ish) moment over.

This makes me feel very calm...idk I was having a very panic-y/emotional morning and this really just helped me take a breath and refocus, so thanks Dodie 😊


This was great thank you for those motivational words 😊😘


This is my first time commenting on a YouTube video but I need to do it this time. Thank you so much for posting this video, Dodie. I've been watching for more than a year now and love your videos but it is so important to share with your audience what you've learnt. I'm 18 now and still can use this advice.
Also, here are some things I would tell my younger self:
1. Don't be so hard on yourself. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself in school because you are doing fine! It's not the most important thing in the world.
2. Be nice to yourself. You are great the way you are.
3. Don't let anybody or media make you feel like crap.
4. You don't need to be afraid of friends leaving you. They like you for you. No other person could change that. And if they leave you, they probably don't even have something against you. Sometimes they just need to change something and you feel like crap but
5. It will get better. There are downs but they only help you to know how the ups feel like. And they help you grow. And it is much easier when you see the humorous and positive side of things.


This is actually quite helpful and most things I would've told myself like a year ago if I could have


You have no idea how much this helped me to feel better about myself
I've been going through some very hard times lately and this helped a lot
even tho it was you talking to your past it also felt like you were giving me advice too
thank you


Your room looks so pretty! You should do a room tour❤


This is the loveliest and purest video on the whole internet! You inspire me sososo much, i love you!🙈💖


I love you Dodie 💕 you inspired me to start vlogging


This video is so wonderful. It put me in such a good mood.


My younger self was a very naive person. She had friends just come to her and thought everyone would naturally love her even though she might not like them back. She didn't know about the world around her and the struggles everyone faced. Moving to Canada was a big time for me. Sure it gave me depression but it also let me see new you tubers that helped me overcome my depression(pewdiepie) I met people like you and other youtubers that helped me be proud of myself. I found youtubers that didn't give out news without checking their sources and asking for opinions and I found out about struggles of life in other countries. I found out that friends weren't that easy to find, and that changing myself wouldn't ever make me happy, but it would also bring me a bunch of dirty looks. I'm still at a weird place in life, but I'm also still young. I'm glad that I have people like you, Tessa, jacksepticeye, pewds, Philip defranco,(A bunch of others that I can't think of rn) to help me get through all my struggles. So thank you guys

Also thanks you Dodie for giving me the most beautiful songs that make me feel happy


I watch this vid every other day. I feel like im getting advice from a british, older me. this always pep talks me and i feel happy


I really want to receive a letter like this from my future self. It's never gonna happen but I can dream. This video really helps put things in perspective though so thank you.


I love these little chats. Dodie you are so cute! Not in a undermining way but in just like a friendly way! You are so relaxing to watch. Thank you for existing and staying alive this long woop woop


i just discovered her like a day ago, and I definitely needed this. definitely subbing!! Keep up !


Im just really glad she's comfortable to publically say all those stuff, it means she really dont give a damn about what people say about her and is being totally herself :) Im really proud dodie, you're the best! Thanks for the courage. You're really great and unique :D

also some people really needed this, and you just made their lives better. Thank you


the amount of times you've made me cry seriously


this made me think a lot about things that i do a lot<br>thank you dodie

this made me think a lot about things that i do a lot
thank you dodie


I loved this video! The one about small boobs is so true, I hated them (or lack of them) all the way through secondary school and college and now I'm at uni and I've finally learnt to accept them and even love them. Yay for cute crop tops and sleeping on my front :-)


I never comment on your videos but I'd like to say that your videos are really valuable to me and I'm sure they are to loads of others too. Though they are addressed to you or often relevant to you, they are relevant to many others. You're adorable! Thank you for sharing all the personal things. People like you are a blessing


I love you, Doddie. You have taught me so so so much and I have to say you are my inspiration for everything, being a good person, being a musician, being different, everything!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, thank you. I love the you Doddie.

And I spelled your name wrong, dodie, sry!


As I am younger (13), this helped me, thank you Dodie


THE AMOUNT OF THESE PROBLEMS I RELATE TO IS INSANE its like you are talking directly to me this is so amazing, thank you!!!


I love these kinds of videos they're so real.


She says “your worst fears...” and I expect her to say that they’re not as bad as you think or won’t happen but then she says “are gonna come true” and I was shook!


I recently cut my hair short and been feeling insecure thinking I'm ugly dodie has giving me the knowledge of I'm not no one is we're all beautiful on the inside or out and we all have insecurities I LOVE YOU DODIEEEE


a wonderfully helpful video and comment section for someone my age. thank u dodie ^^


I like this, I'm a teen and I feel like everyone needs to hear this


"your worst fears are going to come true, but you will live through them" i needed to hear this, thank you


The "no one knows what they're doing" was just so good to hear... i always assume i'm the only one who knows NOTHING. i always feel like i'm a child pretending to be a teenager.


After a little bit I kind of forgot this was a "not to younger self" sort of thing and it felt like you were talking directly to me. Guess I just needed to hear some of that💛


Ahhh this is really helpful I love you dodie <3


nope, I'm not crying at that last part, nope nope nope just a tree fell in my eyes but in all honesty this video is beautiful and i love it and i love how you're okay with your mistakes and i want to feel that way one day


Listening to this sort of makes me realize how little I've probably actually changed since I was a teenager. I don't feel like I tell myself that much. I mean, I'll give myself SOME credit. There's a bit of this and that that I could possibly relay to younger me, but a lot of the important stuff is still quite lost on me. I've barely grown at all, and that makes me sad...

I wish you luck as well. I guess what I really need is to just get some life experience. I don't go anywhere, do anything of crazy interest or meet new people. I'm so stuck in my comfort zone. Gonna have to try and change that soon.

Sean Hector I feel the same way I don't think I've changed that much. I keep thinking about  what I would put on my list to say to my younger self and feel like there's a lot that should be on it but I'm not there yet...
anyway hope we'll both have big lists soon that will set us apart from our teenage-selves :)
i wish you a lot of luck getting there!


thank you for this you beautiful human because a lot of this opened my eyes too.


To my younger self:
Don't ever feel like you have to apologise to practically everyone for almost amything you do. It's okay to be yourself.
The kids who have teased you and picked on you will stop and you will be able to move forwards from it. They're all jerks anyway. Don't go giving your heart to people if they don't deserve it. Trust me, you'll find great friends who love and accept you for who you are.

You don't have to fit your opinion in with whatever your friends might think. Bw original and if they don't like that, then they're really not worth your time or energy.

You're going to have days where you feel crap and don't know why. That's okay, you're allowed to feel the way you feel, you're human. You can always talk to mum and dad about things. They might seem like your worst enemy but they really do have your best interests at heart.

There's no need to worry about boys, one day you'll meet one and he'll treat you the way you should be treated: like a queen.

That's all for now,
See you in the future!


I've said it once, i'll say it again. I want to marry her.


I'm not entirely sure why, but this was very comforting. Thank you.


I'm now going to live the rest of my life saying “what would dodie do?“


I'm 13 and I'm taking this advice now Dodie, thank you!


It's actually 2am right now and I couldn't fall asleep because there were so many things bothering me. I stumbled upon this video and by the time it ended, I felt the weight drop off of my chest. Thank you Dodie 💕


"Help mom with the dishes you lazy bitch" I LOVE YOU DODIE


Somehow I felt almost every point here apply to me and it was really comforting (:


I love dodies mind, I love dodies hair (very envious that my short hair can't look as amazing as hers) I love dodies face I just really love dodie 😂❤


"Giving up streaks" omfg Dodie we were the same child 😂😂😂😂


I'm 17 (almost 18) but I'mtaking this advice, thanks Dodie you're wonderful


Oh no is this gonna be sad I DONT KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE IT RIGHT NOW

Am I the only one who thought this was a Bo Burnham reverence?

Not Josh Dun JISHWA! I mean not jishwa... i mean aaaAAAAH

doddlevloggle awww you look  pretty  today  😊

doddlevloggle dodie, I just wanted to say thank you for making this. I relate a lot and this made me feel better. I've saved this so that every time I feel down I can watch this and feel better about myself. THANK YOU. THIS VIDEO MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.

+Not Josh Dun I never thought I'd hear/read that sentence but I just did and I didn't know how much I needed it XD


Dodie you are so cute! And your skin looks amazing!! <3


this inspires me to do things now that my older self will appreciate


"Help mum out with the dishes, you lazy bitch"

           --A brilliant quote from               Dodie Clark


Although this was to Dodie's younger self, I really needed to hear some of these things. Thanks.


I'm watching this three days before starting my first day of high school and this has helped me a lot 😊

Невена Шимшић


I completely admire how sincerely dodie confronts her mistakes and her younger self. <br>I would do a 5 second video of me going "Dear younger self, FUCK YOU!"

i'd like to have dodie saying "everything will be okay" as my ringtone


This video is the best! thanks Dodie ❤ xx


i love these videos!! you're amazing! <3


i'm only 19 but i relate to this, cheers dodie i needed this !! x


Omg dodie this is an amazing advice video for teens it's so great awwwww


love this! I'll do one to my younger self (I'm still a baby tho)<br>don't wear your weird outfits and feel suuuper cool (or maybe, do it make your experiences but just saying you don't look cool). don't smoke on your balcony that one day that you think your dad is not home, when he actually is, but quit smoking nonetheless. even if you wouldn't get caught (it's so much less stressful to not have to hide cigarettes so do yourself a favour). get a backpack for school! it's way more convenient than a purse and looks cooler! stay in touch with friends you don't see often. you don't have to hang out with people you don't like. start smiling more! for gods sake tell your parents that you don't like playing cello and stop wasting time and money and energy on that. take learning spanish a little more seriously. go see your grandparents more often or call them at least, it makes them happy and doesn't take a lot of effort. help more with household chores. be there for your friends. be nicer to your sister. stop being on your phone/ipod so much!!!! don't stop reading please, really, don't ever stop reading every night. once again, put your phone away. and finally: there's so much left for you to learn, so much.

just thought you should know that your voice is very relaxing and you're just relaxing to watch. Thank you for making this, I'll come back to watch it when life is a little rough like it recently was. it took being rearended when they were going 40 mph(64.37 kph to be exact 😉) to realize life isn't too bad because I'm still breathing. you just reinforced that, keep being you Dodie, you're wonderful


I always enjoy videos like this. I think I'll need to make a video to talk to younger me too.


i love this video so so so much

dear younger me:

• don't worry, all those people you want to be friends with just aren't meant to be, you'll find people who inspire you, who make you feel safe, who make you feel loved, and they will be the best friends you've ever had.

• i know you love singing, you think you suck at it, but you get better, music will feel natural to you. you'll have the 'power' to learn a song on guitar as you go, I KNOW, ISNT THAT COOL.

• don't talk shit about people, it isn't kind. i know you use it as a way to 'spice up a conversation', but there's a million other topics that can do that. talk about space.

and finally, stop freaking out about everything, you'll be very happy, yeah, you brain will get kind of messed up, but you'll have a hundred people who will help you and love you


this might've been to younger you, but I needed this thank u dodie


I frickin wrote a song like this a few weeks ago and when I saw that you posted this I was like ffffFFFFffffff but then I saw it and realized it was not a song, but an amazingly inspiring message to your younger self and I was so relived


The problem with these younger self videos is that if you knew this you wouldn't be who you are today so love your younger selfs imperfections because she turned out to be a great person ^_^


Okay I'm crying bc yes and I will take your advice we love you Dodie


I love how happy and positive everyone is in the comments regarding their present self.

And then there's me. I've become the person I once hated. sigh

I just want to say something about the boobs thing.<br>When I thought that because I was a girl, I had to end up with a boy and society tells us, that boys want big boobs (I know not all do, everybody has their type, but most boys most of all in their teenage years like big boobs and that´s ok) I thought that no one will ever find me interesting. Now I´m an adult and I know that I´m gay and that lesbians love small boobs (I know not all of them but still most). They don´t have to be big, they should just be a pretty shape. And you know what? That´s exactly what mine are. They´re beautiful.

Honestly, I'd like to see you react to this in a year or so because thinking now, you probably don't think that much can change in a year until you dig up this video and see how much changed in 365 days. If not, I still liked this nonetheless :D


Younger me: You'll meet Dodie again and this time it'll be a little less shit and anxiety inducing. Hopefully it'll happen again and be a little bit better.


Omg you look adorable in this video also, I love your points to your younger self


i felt like this was for me and i'm crying helpless


oh i do love u dodie, thank you for this just THANK YOU


I really needed this video it's like it was made for me thank you soo much


loved the message you gave in the ending


BOI I was havin a real tough day n this just made me feel loads better dog bless ya


"Not everyone looks at girls the same way you do"

that killed me XD


This is flipping helpful, since I'm still younger me.


omfg i love this and i love everything you do lmfao


I have Never had parents that could speak to me in a way like this. so I took this advise. because it felt like you were speaking to me like a parent  or a friend.


i needed the anti-dramatic reminder. you're right, life is funny, hardship is funny. thank you!!


Dear younger me:
-You're not a tomboy. You're not a lesbian either. You're trans. Honestly kid, this will save you a lot of confusion. And you don't hate your boobs cause you're fat. It's because you're a boy.
-Stop forcing yourself to wear makeup. It makes you feel like shit.
-Don't say sorry to everyone. it isn't your fault, stop apologising for everything.
-And don't come out to dad. It will make everything worse, believe me.
-Stop worrying about how people will react to you cutting your hair. Take that step, it will make you feel a hell of a lot better.
-Spend more time doing art. It is your coping mechanism, and it will help you.
-For god's sake, please stop cutting. The scars stay for a long time.
-Surprise, surprise, it isn't normal to feel that depressed all the time. Just get help.
-Talk to Alex. I know you're worried that he won't like you back, but he does. He loves you. You won't be able to live without him.


I cannot tell you how glad I am to find this side of youtube <3


if younger Dodie theoretically watches this, does current Dodie change?

no NO don't screw with my head now when it's late and i'm meant to be asleep xD

Current Dodie only changes if younger Dodie actually acts on the advice current Dodie gives her.

+Christina Chen I was gonna say that she would indeed change and this video may be deleted as well as a whole bunch of her videos. BUT, your point is possible too .-. I wonder what would happen

A̵̖̕n̴̩̐c̷͔͗i̵̭͊e̴̲̓n̵̘̓t̷̼̉

let's not go there right now, my brain already hurts

Flash fans? don't mess with the timeline. ESPECIALLY YOU BARRY

No, if younger Dodie watches this and decides to change, that decision would lead to a parallel universe...unless parallel universes don't exist, then mebbe XD.


And this video is a perfect example of why you are my favourite person


every time I watch one of her videos I'm just like "I wish I was as aesthetic as her"


you might as well have addressed this to me lmfao it was all things i actually needed to hear <3


The nose thing gives me hope, like i'm pretty late in my teen years but i'm glad to know there's hope for it yet


Hehehe - this is great Dodie. I'm nearly 40 now and it's still very sound advice and truths! I especially also wonder if my 16yr old self would like me at all! As I don't think I'd like her much either... therefore 16yr old me probably wouldn't even listen to me! I'd probably have to grab her by the collar and give her a shake to get her attention - then end our meeting with a hug and pinky promise! 😜😙


why are you so cute?! it's unreal how cute you are! i know this video is almost 2 years old, but it was in my recommended and I wanted to watch it again and just jeeez you're so dang cute and you are still so dang cute and I'm jealous as heck. I doubt this will ever be seen by you Dodie, but if it is, please know how incredibly cute and wonderful you are and have a lovely day 😊


When you said you will break and you will learn i said "LOVE BREAK AND LEARN WHAT ELSE ARE YOU YOUNG FOR"


"I think you'd like me"<br>of course she'd love you, you're a lovely human being.

"I think you'd like me"
of course she'd love you, you're a lovely human being.


for some reason, life teaches us that we need to search for the light and ignore the darkness. sometimes people tell us that being in the dark means you're not worth it. Now I see that it's a lot different than I thought. you need a mix of both dark and light to live. constantly living in euphoria or dysphoria isn't healthy but having a balance of good and bad is essential to live, or else you'll never grow. This video reminded me of just that. Thanks Dodie, I needed the reminder. Have a wonderful day :)


2:10 this what i would tell my younger self. i was so afraid that people were watching me and staring at me whenever i went into public; i was afraid they would laugh at me and point at me. Now i realize, no one actually pays attention, they are focused on themselves and where they're going. :)


I feel like she is lecturing me because I have struggled through half of these things especially the relationship stuff.


great outro, dodes. 10/10. do it more often.


i literally think that shes so cute! shes adorable!!! 😭😍 DODIE YOUR SO CUTE!!!!


I loved the sentence “your worst fears are going to come true, but you will live through them and you will become a better person...“ I think it couldn't be more true


wow I'm gonna watch this every time I feel wonky


THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART💜☕🍂


I love you so much dodie your an inspiration


This video is so helpful Dodie thanks you so much dx


she is so adorable! I honestly needed this... even if it was to her younger self it felt like she was talking to me with some of the things she was saying.... idk is that weird and narcissistic?


I feel like dodie is talking to me... I've learnt so much!


Wow. Until now I didn´t realise that we had so much in common, but you should have told most of these things to MY younger self.... lol  <3


If my nose thins out I'm gonna fucking cry of happiness


I would tell my younger self to make most of the time you have before life gets stressful and that it doesn't matter that no one's ever liked you. I still haven't found someone yet, but they'll come eventually, whoever that may be.


that part about not having to feel guilty about not liking a guy back rEALLY COULD'VE HELPED ME LAST YEAR DODES. CHRIST THE SHIT I HAD TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF THAT.


Dear younger me:
Those girls that spread those rumours- your best friends? Leave them. You'll find nicer people.
Stop being afraid those nicer people are going to do the same as the others. They're cool.
You don't get sick every time you go over to a friends house because you're intolerant to something, it's because of anxiety. Please try to relax. I haven't figured out how yet but once I know, I'll let you know too. Yours, L.


this felt like dodie was talking to my younger self and me now mixed together. idek how that makes sense.


Dodie, now make a video about songwriting pleaseeeeeeee


i would tell my younger self to be more confident and stop thinking that everyone is always better than you, CAUSE THEY'RE NOT! And also please don't get haircuts you'll regret in a few years time<br>Anyway your video was so inspiring and I loved it and I love you so much, I'm proud of you

i would tell my younger self to be more confident and stop thinking that everyone is always better than you, CAUSE THEY'RE NOT! And also please don't get haircuts you'll regret in a few years time
Anyway your video was so inspiring and I loved it and I love you so much, I'm proud of you


I'm a 14 year-old boy and i weirdly relate to this very much (except the boobs and tank tops and stuff :D). This was very inspiring. Thanks.


Writing most of these tips down as my New Years resolutions 💌


I know you probably disagree but I honestly think a lot of the videos you upload on here are worthy of being main channel videos and I'm often surprised when I notice they've been uploaded to your vlog channel

nastymissjackson Aah okay, I just checked her About for this channel :}

I don't think she feels like this is a "second channel", but her other Channel with different content but equally important :)


I love this! I fucking love this. I'm going to subscribe, you are awesome. Keep being you!


I wish I could actually send a message to my younger self...


This is golden advice, most of these apply to everyone. Also to add to it, don't take life so seriously and things personally


"Help mom out with the dishes, you lazy bitch" my new motto


I'm new to your channels. I Like your music and also your personality. Glad I subscribed.


some stuff you said was very deep some other stuff was just so ordinary and 'normal'

which makes this video this video the realest 'dear younger me' video i've ever watched, to be honest

though i couldn't relate to it a lot, my 13yo self definitely did so i hope other younger teen people will see themselves in this video and know that they're not alone in their struggles, however big or small they may be. everything definitely WILL get better, so please hang in there! you won't regret it :)


30 on trending Dodie!!! Woo!!! Tysm for this, it rly helped :)


This may be for your younger self but it has helped me a lot


I love how quiet her videos are and all you hear is her voice, but that’s ok because you love her voice...


every time you post anything I get so happy and then I cry


"Please just use your brain...if you have one" me everyday of my life


Oh god past Dodie sounds like me thank goodness for present dodie she's amazing


Okay younger me, sit down, let's have a chat:
- You have people in your life right now that are gonna go away. It's not you or even their fault. It's a fact of life. And I know it hurts, but trust me, you're gonna find some people along the way that will brighten up your world.
- You can move on from a friendship, but never, ever let those memories go. Please, for the both of us.
- You know those weird girl crushes you've had since you were like 4 and you couldn't explain them? Well, it's called being gay! And it's perfectly normal, don't hate yourself for it! Literally almost all your friends are too, it's chill.
- It's gonna hurt. There will be times where you feel like giving up. Some of it doesn't even happen to you, but your heart hurts all the same. Grieve. It's normal, and healthy. Don't hold it in, it'll just hurt too much.
- Say hi to Wil, just once. He's a good kid with a sweet afro. Please, just say hi for me. You'll regret it if you don't.
- Stop obsessing over Winnie the Pooh already it's not healthy Jesus Christ kid


This is lovely with some nice Yorkshire tea. Would you consider doing more asmr stuff?


Goddamn that was good
I'm definitely watching this again
You do good


In a recent vid by Lucy Moon and Rosianna Halse Rojas about self care, they talked about listening to something familiar and comforting (shows, podcasts, songs, etc.). I realized that for me, it's your voice. Cheesy? Yeah, sure. But I find that when I'm extra anxious or feeling extra down, your voice (speaking or singing) helps me feel better. So thank you for the videos. I appreciate you.


“Help Mum out with the dishes you lazy bitch”<br>I LOVE

“Help Mum out with the dishes you lazy bitch”
I LOVE


Dear Dodie!!!
I just want to say that you helped you a lot!!!
And I love you. But whatever:)


Dear younger me <br>You don't need to lie to make people like you, they will love you just as much.

Dear younger me
You don't need to lie to make people like you, they will love you just as much.


Why do I , a 15 year old, literally relate to this whole video


What an awesome Video idea! You are bringing it on the Point! :)


this is my favourite video on the entire planet, I shall bookmark it and watch it when I'm sad


Can't wait to get to the point where I love my small boobs tbh. Currently I am ok with them. But I would LOVE to love them, as much as Dodie loves hers ^.^


dear younger sophie:
you're halfway gay and that's ok
experience as many emotions as you can. laugh, cry, have as much fun as possible (because as dodie said, the depression will certainly come)
don't change yourself for people you think are your friends. stay true to who you are, and if your friends don't accept that then they're not your friends. you're going to have real friends who care about you.
and finally: please for fuck's sake stop bragging about your nintendo ds, it's annoying and you'll be embarrassed when you drop and break it mid-brag


lmao HELP MUM OUT WITH THE DISHES literally made me fall off my chair laughing


I would tell my younger self to stand up for myself and to not give a shit about what the other kids think of me because I gained a lot more self confidence once I realised other people's opinions of me don't matter.


Why does it feels like she is talking to me ? Omg this video made me realise so many things, I wasn't prepared for that !


Practically ALL of this applies to me<br>I'm 100% taking this advise

Practically ALL of this applies to me
I'm 100% taking this advise


every little word that just came out of her mouth felt like it was meant for me. it was really weird... but thanks for the advices!


I can't help but feeling like if I had gotten this advice years ago, my younger self might have been someone I could proud of. And some of this is things I wish I knew yesterday or the day before. I wish I knew to just be myself and to be kind to others because you don't know what they're going through and that no one is thinking about you as harshly as you are and just accept who you are, whoever that is. I wish I knew the difference between love and infatuations and that grown-ups are faking it too. Maybe if I had, I would have turned out differently. Turned out better. Happy and understanding.


I love your glassess they're so cool!!! That was so helpful for me I mean like its so true u always think people are starring at that one thing u hate about your self but there normally to worried about them selfs or that people are starring at them.


why does it feel like she's talking to me...? i love this so much


My sister was wondering where you get your glasses from. Whether they're really expensive or not. She likes them much! Happy Christmas!!!


dear younger me,
1) it's okay to find things hard and to ask for help. especially emotionally. you don't have to be confident and strong all the time.
2) most people aren't acting in your interest, and that's absolutely fine, apart from your closest friends and family everyone's priority is themselves.
3) trust your gut instinct. it's almost always right.
4) you dont have to act like other people to get them to like you. the people who you click with best will like you for yourself.
5) just drink more water. just do it.


WHY IS DODIE THE CUTEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED EVER


This was actually hilarious. "HELP MUM OUT WITH THE DISHES YOU LAZY BITCH"


Dear younger me:
Yes, you do get to be on an album.
Yes, you do learn guitar.
Yes, you end up gay.
Please eat healthy. Dealing with the aftermath isn't fun.
You end up doing a bunch of really cool shit.
Yep. Braces happen. They suck. Deal with it.
You lose someone. And it's hard. Because death is hard.
Please work out. Just do it.
Don't be scared for the future. You will end up loving it.


'For some reason your nose gets blobby when you're a teenager'<br>THANK GOD

'For some reason your nose gets blobby when you're a teenager'
THANK GOD


May I just say that you look absolutely stunning.


dodie clark, you are an angel and I adore you


Wow, how did you read my exact personality, i feel like you spoke directly to me


this girl is saving my quarantine. i love u


Dodie, where did you get your glasses?? I LOVE them


This is a cute video ☺ dodie is the best


Little Dodie must have been a great friend


This is the kind video I need right now <3


The last one made me almost cry. I don't know why.


I don't really like my younger self either XD I cringe when I think back to some of the dumb things I've said/done. What's worse is when they pop up in the form of a facebook memory and I'm like "why did i think that was cool to say??" And I do think your younger self would like who you are now :)


damn ok I relate a lot
I guess I am still a children so this probably doesn't count as much but I made SO MANY MISTAKES and I used to lie a lot to get people to like me bc I didn't rly know any other way lol ah bad times™
Also my worst nightmare basically came tru bc yknow an abusive family situation isn't the most fun time at the same time as having crippling depression and emotiOnal mAniPulation and trauma and yadayadayada bUT ALL IS OVER AND ALL IS GOOD AND I DIDNT DIE
AND NOW LIKE
EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH BETTER
and i've become much happier with myself as a person and am now part of this bloody amazing community or idk what to call it but I have sO many amazing friends like jas and maisie and emi and aaron and will and ahH everything is just so much better and life is good and I AM HAPPY FOR ONCE
anyway lol soz for the rant lov u bab x

'i am still a children' awe beb me too, you want a hug? <33

Lucas I'm so happy that you're all somewhat better now! I'm also very very glad that you're happy, and all that jazz. Also, I hope you have an amazing day/night (I don't know what time zone you're in.. so.. yep XD)

Lucas You also said "still a children" but same XD

WELL FUCK I DID NOT REALISE HOW MUCH I HAD WRITTEN WHOOPS sorry lmao


I'm just 16, this was nice and helpful and it fulled me with hope, i don't know why


wow. this has helped me, THANKS DODIE :)


Gaaaahhhhhh! This genuinely helped me soooo much I loove you!


If I made this video it would literally just consist of me almost yelling, "Seriously STOP trying to hide your problems. It's not helping anyone it just makes it worse"


I'm cutting my hair Tuesday inspired by you! I can't wait 💕


Dear younger self,<br>You're not as giftedly smart as you think you are. Be humble not only with others but with yourself as well. You can achieve great things with humility.

Dear younger self,
You're not as giftedly smart as you think you are. Be humble not only with others but with yourself as well. You can achieve great things with humility.


Abbey were literally the same person :) -another Abbey


HOLY shit. DODIE. I'm so happy I saw this, because:
1 - I have the same sweat problems and YES gray thin shirts don't work
2 - I'd also say to myself to help more mon with the dishes in the past - I've been trying now and still need to improve
3 - High waisted jeans? yes
4 - THE NOSE AND BOOBS THINGS. I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME, JESUS
5 - The part about masturbating. I'd NEVER do that before and felt gross until this year.
6 - The hating on things part and trying to be different for people.
7 - You don't have to say you like people back and feel guilty for it.
8 - Teachers and parents won't be always right - me neither
9 - No one really knows shit.
10 - And, finaly: everything will be okay.
11 - Also the need to "grow up" part and yeah don't like older me either.

11 things, I'm not even lying at any. This video made my day, I even put it on favourites. I'm happy I understand you there - and perhaps you understand me. Cool. I know I'm not alone on many stuff :)


younger me and younger dodie might have too many things in common.


This video just helped me with my AP Literature homework.......THANKS DODES


GOD I LOVE HIS VIDEO DODIE I LOVE YOU YOU'RE AMAZING


i used to lie to make people feel pity for me and make it “okay” in my head by saying i was just “exaggerating”

that was something that was difficult and you’d think every time someone found out i would just come clean and learn, but no id dig a deeper hole.


i pretty much am my younger self but i'm gonna do this anyways

1. tell someone about your depression. you are not comfortable with the therapist you're visiting right now and you're family thinks you're still stuck in your eating disorder but you're not and it won't help in any way to keep going to a therapist you're not comfortable talking to while you're depression is getting worse and worse so please tell someone. it will help a lot.
2. your closet can't change over the night. i know your style changed a lot recently and i know that you hate every single one of the clothing in your closet but it takes time to renew everything. so don't worry, you won't always have to wear your older sisters super ugly clothes.
3. you want to be a youtuber. and you're thirteen so you'll have to wait a bit. but you have so many ideas for videos and you will forget them because you forget everything so write them down ffs.
4. you aren't the prettiest girl on this planet, that's for sure. but you are pretty. you are really pretty. and when people tell you this, don't deny it. it's okay to believe compliments. most people mean it when they say nice things, okay?
5. you hate a lot of things about yourself but one good thing you can't deny is that you are nice. it may sound lame but it's actually a really good feature. you go out into the world with the attitude to be respectful to other humans and that's more than most of your classmates can say about themselves. believe it or not, being nice will bring you further than acting like all those stupid girls from your class.
6. believe in yourself. yes, self esteem isn't something you can learn. but you are smart. you are clever and you are pretty and you are a good friend and you are talented, even though you suck at PE. stop thinking you're a loser because you're not.


Dear younger self,<br>Sometimes love means letting go.

Dear younger self,
Sometimes love means letting go.


This was so cute. You're so cute. Your hair looks so cute


This is the most beautiful aesthetic I've ever seen ur hair is AMAZING


I'm sorry this is off topic but you're so beautiful


Dodie should have said :

Good job on writing f*ck on adam's hat. It was such a great video.


"Would you like me? Yeah you'd like me but I don't like you" brilliant ahaha 😂


Dear younger me: Keep ur head up and don't let people take advantage to you and mostly don't pretend to be someone ur not


OMG DODIE IS 43 TRENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF DODIE!!!!!!!!!!


Dear younger me. Enjoy being young when you can. One day you're going to grow up pretty damn fast, so enjoy being carefree. Also, you're a lesbian, and I know that you really want to be straight right now, but guess what?! You own your sexuality and you love it! Also at some point in your life, you're going to come across some pretty shitty people. I'm not going to lie, it'll hurt a lot, but soon enough you will find a lot of people who love you and all of you. I know right now that you're angry about it, but eventually, you will embrace your Aspergers. Just know that sensory overload sucks and it is definitely the reason you get angry for no reason sometimes. That being said, it is not an excuse and please apologize to your mum for yelling at her. You will have depression and anxiety, and it sucks so so hard. But please, go see a therapist early, and not after a year, and don't be afraid of medications.

I'm not younger dodie but I needed every bit of advice in this video. I'm 17 and I don't know what I'm doing.


"I don't really like you... At all."

Same gal same


What I would say to my younger self.... (starting at 7th grade to any time leading up to senior year of high school): "Yes, it is good to be considerate of other people but not to the point of making that your focus. You can be just as energetic and happy as you were before and most people won't dislike you for it. Those who do aren't worth it anyway. Be kind to everyone, especially if you don't know them. If they are clearly not kind to you back, it's okay to stop being kind to them as long as you don't hold a grudge for something minor. Things will get better, as we're finding out now."


THIS IS THE SWEETEST VIDEO EVERRR GOD DODIE I LOVE YOU


dodie, I'm going to he doctors to talk about my depression but I'm scared... and I was wondering if you ever got around to doing your therapy and if you could give me tips on how to talk to my doctor about it! xxx


i just want to have a long heart to heart chat with dodie


i know people say live in the moment but it's so nice to reflect


hey dodes! are you happier now? i'd really like to know how you feel right now. sorry if you think i'm a stalker, i'm just really concerned :))


uhm... so i know this is to your younger self but honestly i think hearing this- it was really nice and idk just picking out some advice took a lot of stress off of me. !!


this is the first video of yours that i have ever seen and you are adorable ^^ got a new subscriber haha (i came from collislame's channel)


Totally irrelevant side note, before I watch the full video and collect my thoughts, where did you buy the jumper/shirt from? :3 you look lovely as always x


this video is TRENDING I am SCREAMING FOR U DODIE


I probably should have said a lot of things to my younger self too. ☺


I do everything I can do to make my older self and others cringe because it is easier to be a cringy child than to be a bitchy one. Hehe


THIS IS LEGIT THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN.. SO ACCURATE


@ my younger self: search up 'doddleoddle' on youtube, she's gonna help you out a lot

Dear younger me,

Anxiety and emptiness should never take control of you.That boy that you really like, yeah turns out he likes you t and has liked you for a while, you still feel the same way, so does he, but we feel like someday it will change.
You will break and cry yourself to sleep SO MANY TIMES but one day you'll tell someone this (oh yeah also that guy that you really like yeah he knows and loves you for it) and they will accept you and be there for you even if they dont understand but it will be alright.it will.I wanna say that we're in a good place right now but well we're really not,no it kinda hasn't got better, you've jus got used to it but that's okay, because we kinda have gotten batter.Continue using all those fancy words and learning Swedish and looking not equal rights and remeber your Irish roots, tey all make you a btter person, trust me they really do.

So ugh ou're a massive fail and will soon become a meme and youtube addict so run,m run as far away as possible and FOR GOD SAKE DO SOME DMAN EXERCISE, please, we might need it now.

yours serncerl,the meme you will grow up to be.


"No one looks girls the way you do,i know!" cute


can't describe how much I love this video and u and just uhhhhh


Funny cause
1. I'm trying to convince myself I like this one boy (who treats me more like his sister)
2. My fear of falling out of friendship came true.
3. I think everyone cares about how I look and are secretly judging me.
So know I know what to do. Thanks dodes


The small boobs thing: yes just...yes. Literally the only reason I was insecure about them was because of guys. But most men don't care! My husband loves my small boobs. And idk why but for the past like 3 months I have been anti-bra. I don't want to wear them. And luckily because of my perky little boobs I don't have to.

I'm sorry for you poor women suffering back problems due to your well endowed bosoms. My heart goes out to you <3


dear younger me,<br>enjoy being bubbly and friendly as much as you can the first few years of your life because that's not going to last for very long

i dont have anything to say to my younger self. not because i didnt make mistakes (ofc i made mistakes) but because i wouldnt change those mistakes for the world. ive learned from the stupid things i did in the past, and i wouldnt be me without that. who i was shaped who i am, and i'm damn proud of who i am.


Dear younger me<br>Pls don't complain about your perfect complexion. If only you could see it now! XD
