Dear younger me- I have a couple things I'd like to say.

You can't fix everything. Not everything is your fault, and you can't make everyone feel better. Their emotions aren't your responsibility in any way. And while you should be empathetic and caring, other people's well-being IS NOT YOUR JOB
Stop being so sarcastic. Just stop.
YOU NEED HELP. Depression and anxiety is serious. You asking for the help you need will not burden others, because you will suffer if you don't ask.
Not everyone is always looking at you. Not everyone is judging your hair, or your makeup, or your clothes. Go for it. Dye your hair. (I promise it looks great)
Most of all, don't be afraid. Love what you do and not what other people want you to do. Keep singing, dancing, swimming, playing piano. They're things you love, and don't let anyone stop you from doing them.
Everything will be fine.


dear younger me, you don't have to be perfect, it's okay not to be okay all the time, it's okay not to look beautiful all the time and it's completely okay to take bad grades sometimes, stop stressing over everything, you are good enough and you don't have to prove it to anyone.


dear younger me,
even if you hate dresses it is not good to pee in them. (especially if you're a brides made at your nannies wedding.)
love,
India.
p.s maybe just lock yourself in a room for 5 years.


2:33 was the most relatable shit ever lmao. "I know" i died


"Help mum out with the dishes you lazy bitch" omg me 😂😂


Chloe The Tiny Planet Explorer   commenting so I get notified if there would be an answer

Emdercat HI! I didn't expect to see you here :D <3

Chloe The Tiny Planet Explorer That PJ username THO

Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon BRYONY! i know you probably don't know me but I Know you watch Bea or Fraser or something! ❤

Chloe The Tiny Planet Explorer okay 1 I love your name 2 I believe she gets them from the store she advertised in her song (don't remember the name it was something like tell me a story)

Chloe The Tiny Planet Explorer I was wondering the same thing.


“Help mum with the dishes you lazy bitch”

ACTUALLY

ME


Peace out at the end of the video was so funny lol 🖤😂


I feel like this could be directed at me 😂😂


Dear younger me,

DONT READ THE MILK FIC

Dear younger me,

DONT READ THE MILK FIC


I'm 24 and I hate who I was when I was younger and in my teens.
But if I wasn't that person, then I wouldn't be this person who I am now.
Life's crazy


i've actually changed quite a bit in the past 7-8 months so i would say to myself just under a year ago:
- you don't have to loose an hour of your sleep to straighten out every single piece of your hair
- if you get invited somewhere, go ! have funnnnnn instead of sitting in your room feeling sorry for yourself
- when mum punishes you it's not the end of the world and she's doing it for your own good
- you don't have to message/call your boyfriend every minute of the day, it'll just get boring
- don't be afraid to wear something different
- take your sister out more she's growing up fast :(


"Your biggest fears are gonna come true" my biggest fear is drinking tea with the spoon still in the cup and then choking on the spoon and dying because i didn't look at the cup while taking a sip.. save me plz


those glasses are incredibly distracting

I want glasses lololol all my friends do

I think these are the ones

@Tomás Brady sure they are
+Elite Bruh exactly! xD

PfEMP1 the reflection of em is distracting


you're so cute, and this is great advice


hahaha, i thought you were going to sing my favorite song "Dear younger me" i didn't notice that it was in your vlog channel :P


I love this, and where do you get your glasses I love those and you!!!


I always find it hard to write a letter or say things to my younger self i don't know why though


I LITERALLY HAD TO PAUSE THE VIDEO TO CRACK UP AT "please help mom wash the dishes, you lazy bitch"


Dodie, how did you get your bangs to fall like that?

curl them and rest them on your glasses if you wear them:)

YES glasses are so good at placing a fringe, especially when it gets too long and starts poking you in the eyes 😂

wonderonni mine do that because of my glasses. also bobby pins or hairspray

wonderonni because shes dodie and magical

tuck them behind your ear a lot and they will sort of just do that


I just went through a whirlwind of emotions


dear young and future me(s)
1- Not everyone is going to like you. just like you are not going to like everyone too. its fine
2- Its fine to wear glasses. glasses are cool 🤓
3- you can't be good at everything. and THATS OK.
4- everyone is anxious but we'll all be ok in some way.
5- you dont have to constantly prove your intelligence or your talents to others. just enjoy what you're doing, its none of others business
6- Anxiety, panic attacks and depression arent good, but they come to tell you you're not ok and YOU NEED HELP.
7- You cant fix everything. you cant end poverty. you cant help everyone. you cant help every animal. its ok. just be nice to others and help who you can help.
8- you're not trash. your friends really like you. if they dont answer you they're probably just busy.
9- Dont rush things. Dont think everyone has the same timing. its ok if you haven't kiss anyone yet. its ok if you dont have a boyfriend yet. ITS OK. You need time to be ready and no one can tell you which time is it.
and finally, TRUST YOURSELF. Your 21 old self is still learning how to do it. dont let other people let you down, in some years they wont even be a part of your life anymore. just be yourself and have no shame on it. you're cool in your own way, and people will like you for being you. be free and stop overthinking! we'll be fine (someday)

Jess Avery hahaha there's never enough lists to save!

Grey January awww, thats ok 💙 hope you're doing well!

emma maybeee.... who knows? time is a mysterious thing :P

itsmemoony ugh, I don't have twitter but do you have IG or maybe Wattpad?

YoungHalfBlood XP you can do it! (literally, just please add my name at the bottom (im Caroline Goldoni btw, hi, jice to meet you hahaha)) (and not on the literally side, just believe in yourself and "paste" what i wrote inside of you, im pretty sure you are capable of doing anything you want to!) (idk if you meant literally or not cause im dumb so im answering both of them sorry hahaha) (also, if you wanna ask something, i can give you my twitter, im always open to talk and help 😄)

Marta Marques Thank you so much! it means a lot that people like what i write, i really want to write a book someday and this gives me encouragement to dont give up!

itsmemoony I wish I could copy and paste this cuz I need this bad:/

This. Just beautiful and true. Hang in there! And meanwhile try to enjoy life whenever possible too :)

Caya Bennett awww no need to thank me! i hope you're ok 💙

itsmemoony Those apply to me now! Thanks ^-^


I think younger Dodie is asking herself if she needs to wear glasses now. <br>(Very stylish btw, i loved it)

(Very stylish btw, i loved it)


When you talk to your younger selves, don't be condescending. It doesn't help 'You're not in love' 'You don't know everything' is just silly. How about 'You know enough possibly more and there are lots of things to learn for everyone, not just you' and 'You really love that guy, that's great, although it won't always feel like it'.


this is the best video in the whole world all the advice was just so spot on? like i know this was directed to young YOU but a lot of it was true for me too.


There's nothing I could say to my younger self. I was such a self righteous brat that I wouldn't have listened to anything. But I wish I'd known about the majesty of eyebrow pencils like ten years ago. Who knew how much it changes your face. Sigh. I'd probably tell my high school self to let loose and flirt my butt off, because you're actually good at it when you try. And get over Joe. You won't, of course, but try harder. You wasted too much time on someone who would never like to back, and (much more importantly) you deserve soooo much better. ✌🏻


I helped my mom with the dishes tonight because of you


This video was so funny but meaningful at the same time 😂

Love from a small British Youtuber ❤🇬🇧


Love this! Where are your glasses from? I need to know!!


dear younger me:
1. you have anxiety. that’s okay. you’ll learn and grow and accept.
2. you’re gay. you’ll go through second guessing yourself and your identity but that’s okay.
3. PLEASE clean your room.
4. stick up for yourself sometimes! it’s okay to talk back.


This is my last day of being thirteen, it's odd because I don't like thinking about growing up but you can't really stop it, and I loved this video, because I can now think of how I changed within this year. It's been a sucky/good ish year, but I mean I can't change the past and I can just learn from it. Thank you so much Dodie for posting this. I believe a lot of these already but we all have our bad days where we think the opposite. I know I don't have a lot of friends, well about two but that's okay. They're here for me. I don't have to be so clingy. Kinda leads to the last one doesn't it? You've got pale skin. You don't mind it but people seem to judge you for it. But you've got no acne surprisingly (yet) and you should take that to your advantage. Screw the teenage girls at your school attempting to force you to wear makeup because it's girly. The whole point of being you is making your own decisions and mistakes. <br>Jeez this is a mess but I see other people doing little therapeutic comments down here so I joined in. Thank you dodie for your inspiration and loving personality that has built me into a better person over these years of watching you talk and sing. I love you so much. ~Emily.

dear younger me:

you will go through a non binary phase because you are scared of being judged but its okay to come out as trans, pretty much everyone is supportive and a lot of your friends use he pronouns now

you dont pass, but thats ok

anxiety will crash down on you in y9/10 but in y11 you are learning to conterol and deal with it effectively

yes you are very overweight because of being sad and slowly spiralling into something more, try to stop eating crap dude

having type 1 diabetes is not the end of the world

you will find so many youtubers (such as dodie) from y8 onwards who help you to deal with you struggles

home is hard, thats ok

you will have a boyf for 7 mo 2 days (hes a dick) and a gf for 3 mo (shes lovely and ur still mates with her) before you will find an amazing agender partner who is the world to you

chill. its gonna be ok


okay, so i absolutely love this video. I think it brings up an amazing point. You might have wanted to change who you were before, but all of those experiences led up to who you are now, which is an amazing and beautiful person. Also I'm so happy that you are more happy with the way you look, because you are so beautiful! You are so amazing!

Also I'm still somewhat young so i have no idea what i would change, but ill know eventually XD


how "young" was this Dodie that present Dodie was talking to?

I'm just getting a feeling it wasn't from TOO long ago. HIHI.


"i don't really... like you a lot" i feel it.


I'm 13 now so let's see how much worse it gets for me😂


doddlevloggle when are your songs going to be on iTunes???

also if you support her on patreon you get free downloads of her other songs too

dad friend found it! thank you. I was searching her full name and it wasn't showing up 😂👍

Molly Jamison. She just made an EP called intertwined and I think that it's available on iTunes and Spotify :)

Molly Jamison. they are!!! some of them are on her ep called intertwined if u search for "dodie" :)


Dear Dodie: <br>     What specific kind of Ukulele do use in your most recent music videos?

Dear Dodie:
     What specific kind of Ukulele do use in your most recent music videos?


THIS IS THE MOST WONDERFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN


If anyone knows where dodie got her glasses from in this video please let me know cx


This reminded me of Baz Luhrmann’s wear sunscreen and I loved it ✨🌻


Legend says if you're early nothing will happen...

The Legend27 doesn't stop, why should dead creativity.5 ? XD


i really really really really really need this video. and i will again, some time in the future. and i did, some time in the past. so. dodie, thank you, forever.


I think i would tell myself to stop worrying, because i used to (and still kinda do) struggle with my weight. Don't let life get you down, and don't be embarrassed when you skip everywhere because people will look at you and only wish to be that happy. Keep smiling, and don't kill your brother (no matter how annoying he is)


Dear younger me:

I don't know what to say to you: I don't remember what you are like, sorry. I imagine life is pretty similar, I dunno. So, younger me: it gets doesn't get better but it doesn't get worse. So... yeah? Guess that's kind of sad, but I'm still pretty young so yeah.


dear young nancy:
1. you don't know shit about who you are or who you're going to be just sit back and relearn yourself every day if you have to
2. feelings do not make you weak please stop pretending you have none
3. depression sucks but you will get through it
4. stop lying so much, that goes to three seconds ago nancy too
5. it's spelt reindeer babe, not raindeer
6. be good to your friends
7. dress like a grandma or a high class escort or a business woman, just enjoy it
8. you can dress like all those things within one week and still be you
9. everyone feels like they're way beyond their years, it's not just you
10. you make yourself so much more important in your head than you really are. no one else remembers that one thing you did in third grade that haunts your nightmares.
11. happiness, just like every other emotion, is fleeting. you cannot expect to feel it always
12. bisexuality exists, you're it, your friends know and support you (not just in that)
13. slurs are bad don't use them
14. stop trying to pretend you're white. be proud of where you come from and how hard your parents worked to get you here
15. you're doing great
16. everything will work itself out


Dear younger me: it's okay to be quiet, there's nothing wrong with you for not being extroverted and not wanting to pretend to be. And don't bother listening to the people who think there is. You will make friends, and they do care about you. You're not annoying to be around, you're doing okay. You're actually doing better than you ever give yourself credit for.
And I know the future seems terrifying right now, with college & life ahead, but college will be okay. Really kind of the same as high school and everything else, when they were new. New things are scary at first, but you'll always adjust and find your place eventually. And that uncomfortable feeling in the pit of your stomach? Yeah, that's called anxiety, and it doesn't suddenly disappear. It becomes more of a reminder to take care of yourself, though, so don't just keep ignoring it.
Also, don't worry that there's something wrong with you cuz no one else seems to be struggling. Everyone's struggling with something, and you're allowed to admit that things aren't easy. Its okay to honestly tell people how you feel. You aren't alone. And you don't need to be perfect for people to like you, the ones who do wouldn't want you to be any other way. And someday you won't want to be any other way, either.
Don't beat yourself up over that dumb thing you said, it's a waste of energy, plus you'll just feel sad while everyone else has already forgotten it.
Finally, I'm still learning this now, but just try to live more in the present, because it's more fun that way, and you'll miss these times some day.


0:06 Dodie vs. Dan

Dan off in the distance: ITS A BATTLE OF THE D's!!!


Woah how can someone look so old and young at the same time.


Okay here we go:
1. Ok listen, you are fucking adorable. Seriously, those pictures from grade 3 are the cutest thing ever. So stop treating yourself like garbage.
2. Listen to your parents, listen to their advice, and do what they tell you. It would be a lot easier if you just got off your lazy ass and took the dog for a walk, or took out the recyclables. It's not that hard.
3. No matter how much you think that in 10 years when it's legal something might happen, you're never going to marry the camp counselor you had a crush on. GET OVER IT.
4. Don't be ashamed that you like girls because trust me in a few years you will love your gayness.
5. Don't get hung up over whether people will like you or the way you look, remember how nervous you were to dye your hair? Remember how much everyone loved it? Just take chances in your appearance, do what makes you comfortable.
6. Speaking of taking chances, try talking to people more. Way back in grade 5 you sat at a random table at recess and struck up a conversation with two lovely ladies who are still some of your closest friends to this day. Imagine what would've happened if you hadn't taken that chance? And remember how anxious you were at summer camp to ask one of the counselors(the one you had a crush on) if she liked broadway? Remember how AMAZING it felt to finally get that off your chest and to hear her say "I love broadway!" And have that wonderful five minute conversation? TALK TO PEOPLE YA IDIOT.
7. Don't hurt yourself. It's really not good, stop it. If I could I would slap that blade right out of your hands.
8. No matter how dark times may seem, people love you. I know how much you hate it when people say that, but it's true so stop denying it! People love you and you love them, and hey, somewhere deep inside you, you love you too.
Wow that was actually really fun to remember things and essentially yell at my younger self.


288 people haven't helped mum with the dishes


hey guys! i'm 13 right now so imma come back when im a bit older and give my 13 year old self advice. :)


The only thing I would tell my self is that you can be smart, without being a know it all.


I think I'd get along with younger Dodie, and now Dodie of course cause she's great. she sounds a lot like me, apart from the going out with boys who say they like you, I turn them down if I don't know anyting about them.


Doodee! :) what kind of editor do you use for your videos, I'm really intrigued to know!


thank you. thank you a million times for this.


i use about 70% of my brain whilst at school thinking about what other people think of me. i always get so tense whenever people look at me, because i feel like my nose is too big, eyes too buggy, hair too thin, and i even once had a mental breakdown about walking, because i felt like i was walking in an odd way. but honestly, this video that's less than 4 minutes really changed me. maybe i won't feel self conscious 24/7 in the hallways now... idk??? but anyways dodie thank you for making this video, because im still a smol bean in middle school, and this video seems like its directed toward us younglings. :) love ya


I kinda feel like dodie is saying these things to me, I really like it. Like she's giving me advice

Rosalie Aria Martinez Haha same I'm 19, but a couple of these things actually made sense and I think I'm going to try to follow them in life.


That moment when you can relate to everything but the boobs and nose... im using ALL of your advice... thank you


holy shit it's true. The one thinng I learned now that I'm older is that no one actually knows what they're doing


was just watching the "dear 25 year old me" video aha coincidence


"Help mum out with the dishes you lazy bitch"

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA


Younger me needs to stand up to people, try her absolute best to care less about what people think, stop lying to make her life seem interesting and tell someone about what's going on in your head and what happened so you can deal with it early on instead of it turning into the mess we have today


Where do you get your glasses? I love it!


People who love dodie clark where you at?!

Omg I love her too what a coincidence it's almost as if we're both subscribed to her channel

Belle Karen I do, but that's kinda why people are here

Belle Karen How many replies are you going to get from this comment 😂😂😂


When im anxiety i watch her vidoes and im quickly okay agian


Without younger Dodie we wouldn't have present day Dodie. While it'd be nice to go back and change how we were we needed those mistakes to learn and grow to become the much more informed person we are now.


Not really sure why I'm here and I don't relate to anything you're saying, but you're voice was nice to listen to so I stayed lol


You remind me so much of Josh Thomas (Please Like Me, anyone?) and it is great because I love him! now I've found someone who's as funny and nice and talented as he is! My faith in humanity is restored - again!


This video is literally everything I need to say to myself except it's not Joshua it's Joey


This is a very lovely video :) but, but, buuuut let's talk about those glasses... I NEED them <3 does anyone know where they could be from? :0 pleeease

The main thing I'd say to my younger self is "you don't like you body at all because you think you are fat, but honey, you are the thinnest you'll ever be, please love yourself and stop covering your stomach with your purse",  other than that I'm proud to say that as a teenager I was very true to myself and didn't change to be liked, so yeah, I did pretty good :):)

Ps: the glasses <3 I'm in love


For some reason I find you very attractive.


dear younger me,
-not everything is a competition, so stop trying to make it one. sometimes its nicer to sit back and enjoy the company of other people rather than feel like you have to justify yourself to them. life is stressful enough
-you don't have to like boys! what a shocker! you know that sinking, anxious, trapped feeling you get when that boy holds your hand? that's because you're gay and its okay to feel that way, even though no one else around is lgbt like you.
-friendships are scary and take work. it's hard to come to terms with the fact that sometimes people who you thought were your friends don't like you anymore. people drift apart, but its not worth beating yourself up about it. joining theatre will give you a whole new set of friends and so many good things will surface from that!
-stop trying to be like every angsty tumblr girl you idolize. you don't have to stay cooped up in your room in the dark until 2am crying about nothing and never talking to anyone just because everyone around you is. you're a happy person so do what makes you happy :)
-be careful about what you say. i can't reiterate this enough. no matter what you say and who you say it to, it will come back to bite you in the ass. please please please think before you say anything and don't try to be an asshole, the world already as too many of those.
-you don't have to be what everyone else around you is. you're never going to be white so stop aspiring to be. you're never going to be a cute height with a perfect tiny waist and small legs, that's just unrealistic. believe it or not, you'll grow to love your tummy and your wideset eyes and long spindly legs.
-lastly, appreciate your health while it lasts. its weird to have to take the time to appreciate the things that we take for granted, but believe me, being able to eat whatever you want no matter what is such a privilege, and you don't even bat an eyelash at it. please be conscious of your body and treat everything you do to it with care. you're gonna want to remember what perfect health is like before you get diagnosed with diabetes.
love, future you


Well, I'm not the younger you, but thank you, thank you, thank you.


You should do a dear future self one now too


i really want to make one of these but i'm an editor and don't want to show my face n stuff cos privacy


Messages to my younger self (I'm 16)
1) Stop trying so hard for people who don't care. You have put so much effort into this, and it's all for nothing. Those people aren't the kind of people you'd get on with. There are other ways to have self worth than being popular
2) start revising and making neat notes from the beginning of your gcse's. It would have really helped you out.
3) people are not as educated on trans issues as you are, do not except them to be. Be empathetic with your parents, don't be so cold in regards to your issues.
4) I know you feel alone, you're doing this all by yourself and you're brave for doing that, I'm proud of you and one day you will not have to hear your birth name on a daily basis.
5) Stop binding so intensely. You will damage your lungs for a long time, you'll hurt yourself and will not breathe properly for a year. Stop hitting and scratching your chest, and don't start self harming. This will lead into a spiraling addiction that will follow you five years onward and that you cannot currently see an end to.
6) You're not worthless you silly idiot. You are valuable and loved. Your social ability does not define your worth. So don't keep it all inside, you're allowed to ask for help.
7) Do not trust a certain someone. I don't care how much they say they love you, they don't. They will blackmail you with pictures and information and often push you for nudes. They will keep you trapped in a circle of friends you do not want to be in- and to carry on, you will leave those friends and be surrounded by new ones who do appreciate and value you
8) relationships are something you work on, not something instant. Speaking of- someone you thought would never ever like you does and will
9)That person you cut out of your life, you didn't need to completely cut them out, you didn't need to act so cold to them to fuel your ego. You'll kinda miss them.
10) Jesus Christ get some damn sleep. 2am is not a normal time to sleep, don't complain about your eyebags when you do that. On that subject, listen to asmr, you don't have to wait till you black out
11) You were so mature when being treated unfairly, standing up for yourself is not disrespectful, I'm proud of you for that.
12) Getting braces will improve your life so much. Get them sooner, the difference it'll make to your face will be amazing, it won't make you ugly, no one will care.
13) Liking girls is ok, liking boys is ok, but just call yourself Bi, don't go to the bother of calling yourself Pan, its so extra
14) When dicks bother you at school, yell at them, scream at them, hit them. Ignoring them doesn't do anything. Make them know they cannot touch you.
15) You're going to be so happy your suicide attempt failed, keep hope because life has a lot to offer you

this was pretty inspirational, thank you


dear younger me
stop pushing yourself so hard, all it will do is end up worsening your mental health. try hard but enjoy what you take part in. don't feel like it's a chore.
don't believe your parents when they say you aren't good enough. you are, and will always be good enough, youre amazing.
enjoy yourself. you've worked hard enough, and for long enough. you deserve a break.
don't be scared of change. drop those nasty people who make everything seem bad. change can be very good, don't be afraid of the inevitable.
lastly, learn to love yourself. love your personality before you try to love your appearance, because you personality is what will make others like you. loving something you can't change will turn your thought positive, making it easier to like your outsides.


your glasses are fucking adorable i love them


dear younger me,
make some friends. stop living in your head and in your books. it's not healthy, and right now it's causing you a hell of a lot of trouble. talk to people. there are some really nice ones around. stop wishing that you're a teenager because it's overglorified and a lot more trouble than you anticipated. enjoy being simple.
love, val


The biggest thing is that you should ask for help. Not "you <b>can</b> ask for help", you NEED TO ask for help. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to start to understand that you are going to be okay.

The biggest thing is that you should ask for help. Not "you *can* ask for help", you NEED TO ask for help. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to start to understand that you are going to be okay.

Dear younger me, stop fucking up on everything.


i feel like you were staring at me in this video lol. im still young so seeing this video kind of helped me grow, just a tinsy bit..


"let dodie inspire you to do short cat eyes"


THERE WAS A DUNKIRK ADVERT BEFORE THIS VIDEO OMFG


I would tell my younger self that other people’s eyes are not a reason to change yourself. What you have is wonderful and others’ opinions shouldn’t change that.


Being only 17, I have a lot to say to my even 14/15 year old self. Starting with, please stop styling your bangs everyday. No one will notice if you don't style your wannabe emo bangs for one day. Two, put that foundation down, it is not your color, it is your aunts shade, please stop using it like it matches cause it doesn't. Three, that feeling you get in your stomach when you look at your specific friend who is a girl, yeah, that's a little something I'd like to call love. Don't be scared of it, but please don't act upon it this time 'round. She will not like you back. I promise you. I never told her and I'm glad. You'll probably lose her altogether if you tell her so please don't. Also, a douche bag will want to go out with you near the end of your freshman year, say NO. You will regret it. I left him after a week and a half cause I could not eat anything the whole time I was with him. I lost my appetite and I felt like I was going to throw up at any moment. And, partway through your sophomore year, you'll go out with this guy, you'll realize you didn't actually love him, just infatuated. This is okay, he will leave you in the end cause he didn't actually love you either, sorry to break it to you. He'll still be hung up over his ex. You will be okay. Your friend will try to sweep you off your feet a week later only for that to fall out after three days. She'll get over you, just give her time, she's stubborn just like you and doesn't like being told no. Four, please continue to go volunteer at your middle school. It gets easier and less awkward as the years go on and you get more comfortable with the kids as they grow up. Five, over the course of the next couple years, people who you thought were going to be in your life forever will walk out on you like you're nothing. Like, you're best friend of three years will drop you, pick you up again, and then drop you for good a year later. She's going through issues that you're not meant to help with and that's okay. God has a plan for her and she will be okay. And so will you. Also don't be afraid to reach out to her if it looks like she needs it. Speaking of best friends, you'll remeet a girl you kind of knew in middle school who used to terrify you, this girl is now your best friend. That random, scissor carrying mess of a girl is your best friend. Please don't lose her. She's going to help you with a lot of stuff. Depression, anxiety, and even just crush issues, she's going to help you through it all, do NOT ever lose her. Six, (listen up 16 year old self), please don't be afraid to say what you feel. You almost lost your chance at being with your crush but luckily and he put together the pieces and asked you out. You're lucky he's smart otherwise he would have waited forever. Half way through sophomore year, you're going to get a huge crush, hold on to this one and don't let it destroy you, please. It'll be worth it in the long run. Seven, your father is not changing anytime soon. He is the same way now than what he was three years ago. Don't expect him to change for you. He has issues inside his head from decades ago that he cannot resolve but won't admit it. Just let him deal with it. Let him rant. Don't let him get to you. You are not the reason that he is the way he is. Don't ever blame yourself.  Eight, lots, and I mean lots of opportunities will start coming your way. TAKE THEM. Don't miss out on things because you're too scared to get out of your comfort zone. Nine, you're going to want to change your mind on the dreams you had when you were younger and know that it is okay for you to do so. You don't have to stick to what you've always said. Ten, you're going to face a lot of the demons you first met when you had barely turned 14. They'll come back but for different reasons but they'll be stronger. Don't be afraid to ask for help. It does not mean you're weak for asking for help. And lastly, just be yourself. That's why your future boyfriend will love you. That's why your future friends will love you. That's why your family will love you. Please, I know insecurity is hard but power through it and don't give in to society's expectations. Be you. Be your beautiful, amazing self.


Angie Lancaster Probably a boy she liked in school


Dodie you're so pretty why can't I be pretty like you? 😭😂


Dear young me,
1) Not everyone looks at and thinks about girls the way that you do (and that’s okay!) Also! Don’t feel pressured into liking anyone. It is okay if you don’t like someone!
2) Talking about people behind their backs is never a good idea. Talk to them about it! They will understand, and if they don’t they aren’t worth it!
3) School is not going to kill you! You will be okay, just do your best and don’t torture yourself over it.
4) He is never going to fall in love with you, and that is okay. You do deserve better. You do not need him to be okay.
5) Forget about fate and destiny, take matters into your own hands and create the life you want to live.
6) Most of who you are is your choice! Don’t let anyone tell you who you are. You decide that. You can be anything and anyone you want to be, just make sure it’s true to you and you aren’t doing it for anyone else.
7) No one cares about your jiggly thighs and your little butt. Jiggle is cute, little butts and boobs are cute. Wear what you want! Some people are blinded by ridiculous beauty standards that no one will ever completely satisfy. Avoid those people, they are clueless.
8) You are never alone in anything. There is always someone who feels the same way, there is always someone who does the same thing and it’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with you!
9) Live in the now! You will never be that age again! When you’re sitting in your rocking chair in your 80s you’ll wish you could go back to where you are now. Make the best of it. Your best is enough. You are enough.
10) Life is not too much for you, even with all of your mental health issues that you’ll discover eventually. You are stronger than you could ever realize. You will live through it all. You will hurt, so bad you can’t believe it, but it will be worth it. You will be okay.


what would I say to my younger self? growing a beards quite hard, whisky never starts to taste nice


"You are the happiest effing child on this entire planet; don't worry the depression will come."

If this isn't me...


How do you get your hair like that?! It's banging


Dont waste your life watching youtube videos.


Dear younger me:<br>Get some guts and DON'T WORK ALONE FOR ONCE.

Dear younger me:
Get some guts and DON'T WORK ALONE FOR ONCE.


why this kinda motivational vid bring me to a whole new level of depression?


Sometimes I come back to this video for advice


I would tell my younger self to ... NOT PUMP IN FRENCH LESSONS WHILE THE WHOLE CLASS IS SILENT (if u did't already know it was the most embarassing thing ever cause everyone noticed it encluding the boy I had a crush on)


these are great advices and im 25, older than your younger you.


early notification squad where you at?!?


The very beginning is me @ myself every morning


Lol I needed this! thankss :D (I'm 15, I guess that makes me young)


really want to know where she got her glasses from!! they're super cute


My worst fears have come true and it taught me not to trust so easily


The blobby nose thing is very reassuring


AHHHHH Dodie is so beautiful😍
Omg 😂 "Help mom out with the dishes you lazy ***"
Are you talking to me? :/

AHHHHH Dodie is so beautiful😍
Omg 😂 "Help mom out with the dishes you lazy *****"
Are you talking to me? :/


lol, i wish i could tell my younger self the nose part too but it just got WORSE


Things I would tell my younger self:
1: Please stop being so jealous  Angelina.
2: You should really stop picking on your body. You are beautiful.
3: It's okay to make mistakes don't be so hard on yourself.
4: You don't need to hide your emotions their normal every human has them.

IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR GLASSES!!! Where are they from??xx


WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR GLASSES! They are so cute!!!!


I wish I had seen this a few years back lol


Where did you get your glasses from?They are so cute


"Your worst fears are gonna come true." Dodie's worst fear is that she will be told she is going to die... TELL ME I'M OVER ANALYSING!!


I'm crying this is just want I needed to here rn


Anyone know where i can buy glasses like that? <3


I can relate to anxious sweating so much,god i hate it


What if time travel is invented and your younger self actually sees this


Dodie, you look so pretty in this video.


Dear younger me : Stop saying how much of a nice person you are while literally insulting other people in your head and being a POS.

Experiment with your look.  Trust me. Extensions and a change of style will make you so much more confident than you are now.

Your idea of success does not have to mimick society. Repeat this until you believe it.

Stop writing smut when you clearly don't even know what sex looks like/what happens during it.

Get into dragon age. Shh. Just go search for it you little nerd.


No one knows what they're doing. Except Oprah. And she just wants to empower you. So that's probably ok. ❤❤


I love your big glasses and your hair and your clothes and you and omg your perfect


Dear younger me, thank God you got your bangs back, that period without them was horid


I'm really scared because most of this is what I need right now 😮


To the younger me:
- Don't drink alcohol like water. Trust me, you will thank me later!
- High heels are pure torture, just don't wear them.
- You WILL love yourself soon! 😁👍❤
- Enjoy your day like it is the last, because life is too short to waste time.


I would tell my youngerself that life isn't fair and that you will go through some shit so get prepared


Uhhmmm I’m feeling attacked (but thank you I need ALL of this)


This reminded me of the vine of that guys who's dressed as a gypsy and says "I can predict the future... And you're going to be o.k."


oh my god your voice .. so satisfying !!


this was cute and i like it aloooooot reflection is good stuff


Wow, it's like you're talking to my 12/13 year old self lmao


THis was really needed fek. Many thanks Dodz


i know i'm late, but here is a letter from current me to last year me.
-first off, stop judging people because they are popular. those girls are genuinely nice, and they aren't like Regina George. Molly, you  are just jealous. Maybe smile back when they wave to you.
-do not hang out with the cute boy with the long dark hair and the poetic speeches. He is only going to hurt you. He is going to make you feel like absolute shit. You do not deserve someone like him.
-you know that older boy with the long caramel hair and the FOB shirt? Don't tell all of your so called "friends" you like him. And do not make up that stupid nickname for him. It may seem smart, but he is going to find out. And it'll be so embarrassing, you will do more embarrassing things that are unnecessary.
-talk to the pretty blonde girl from after school club. She is going to become your best friend. I know she seems intimidating, but she isn't.
- jesus christ, don't hide your feelings and bottle them up. it'll hurt you more.

love from,

you from a year in the future


I'd tell myself to stop being so vulnerable and to stop craving friendship from people who don't truly care about me. I'd say to stop trusting people so easily and that the world sucks but that's okay and to stop blaming yourself so much.


I was just thinking of her song "Life lesson" towards the end lol


I would tell my younger self "don't shit I'm urinal it's just stupid"


"Not everyone looks at girls the same way you do" watched this back in 2016 and only just admitted this OOP


Wait! I thought this was to young Dodie, not to me! 😱


"Not everybody looks at Girls the same way you do." why didnt anybody say that that to younger 'straight' me.


I'm sorry this isn't a really interesting response but christ you're so pretty in this video your jumper and your hair and your eyes are all so nice. Merry Christmas!


where are your glasses from? they look awesome!


dear younger me
STAND UP STRAIGHT YOU PLEB
stop spending hours on payday 2 because of the rats mission
stop staying up until 5 am binge watching all of dodies videos while wondering how she can be so perfect


"help mom in the kitchen"  Is so ingrained in society that the woman has to be in charge of the domestic tasks that one unconsciously asks her mother if she can help it being that it is the responsibility of all who live in the house to make it work <br>pd: me inglish is very bad

"help mom in the kitchen"  Is so ingrained in society that the woman has to be in charge of the domestic tasks that one unconsciously asks her mother if she can help it being that it is the responsibility of all who live in the house to make it work
pd: me inglish is very bad


I want Dodie to be my mum. like seriously


i really need my future self talking to me, im still very young and very naive


Dear Younger Self, you're a lot cooler than you think you are. And people like you a lot.


Where did you get your glasses from ? What brand are they ?


"Not everyone looks at girls the way you do" WOW THIS ONE which i am just realizing applies to me ha ha im not gay maybe just a little oOps


Can you please be the next Bridget Jones <3


I think shes talking to me

thank you dodie


If I could write one to younger me:
1. You. Do. Not. Need. To. Wear. Makeup. 24/7!!!
2. Practise your fucking music. It will help you I promise.
3. You're a lesbian babe
4. Acne is temporary, you can laugh at those girls who made fun of you for it when you have beautiful clear skin at 18 and they do not.
5. No, you do not like Ollie From Year 5, he is a year younger than you, plus.... lesbiannity.
6. I hate you.
Peace out my dudes


Little Dodie seems to be just like me...


My worst fear is dying in a plane crash and I doubt that will make me onto a better person but instead a rotting corpse....... Love ya :D


I love these videos. Mine would be something like...your curls are not as bad as you think, ignore those girls because they are a bunch of sheep who will eventually grow up into good people, stop talking smack about your mother, stop doing drugs because they fuck you up, you are not fat, you do not need to hurt yourself to be happy and prepare yourself for the onslaught of fuckery you are going to endure amongst all the great days


Dear an even more impish dullahan, you'll have friends someday. Don't just assume you can be friends with someone if they say "Hi." to you. They may be friendly but they're not friend material. In due time you'll find your people. Also draw more: You'll suck at it in a few years if you don't keep going.


I GUESS THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO THAT I HAVE WATCHED IN THIS WEEK ...


dear younger me:
1. your glasses are okay. you look good in glasses. stop putting yourself down!
2. it's okay you're having crushes on girls. it's no big deal, you'll learn that that's who you'll be.
3. go out and do more stuff!! hang out with your friends and have fun but be safe.
4. why are you wearing that. please, wear something decent. yikes lmao.
5. be brave. go out there and tell those "friends" who manipulated you for years, go tell them what they've done to you.
6. you don't deserve it, i promise.
7. yes you're gender is fucking confusing, but it's gonna be good!
8. things are going to be okay. i promise.
i love you (:


0:22 you don't need to lie, to make me like you (you don't need no lines to make me wait)... :)


Does anybody know where I could find eyeglasses similar to hers?


am i the only one that replayed the intro like 5 times


lowkey waiting for a cover from la la land 🤗


Dear younger me
Hey. Its (almost) 15 year old you. You know, life ain't that bad. Ye sure, u think about past you a lot and you've got some problems but hey, theyre sorta leaving you alone now. But pls, tell someone. Tell miss howarth. You trust her and it'll take away so much grief and anguish. But don't be overly dramatic. Just tell her facts, nothing more. You can cry whilst you're telling her, that's OK. But tell her. Don't just say "I'm fine" when she asks you what's wrong. She's going to find out when ure in year 8, and I think she already knows now. Besides, it'll stop things getting worse. You don't want things to get worse, do you. You're going to get hurt, Rachel. You really are. Right now, it's only psychological but soon it'll get physical and you don't want that. Also, ditch the girls. Ditch those kids who manipulate you, who use you when it's convenient and then abandon you, leaving you hurt. You deserve more than that. Don't overwork yourself, you're only 11. And I love you. I'm so proud of what you're doing and I know you'll be wonderful

Love
Me


bless you're so cute agh I love you so muchhh


any one know where dodies glasses are from?😇


I'd say just be your fu*kin' self ! Stop pretending to be someone you are not to make others love you ! <br>Being yourself will grant you the true friendships !

I'd say just be your fu*kin' self ! Stop pretending to be someone you are not to make others love you !
Being yourself will grant you the true friendships !


you're literally talking to my younger self


I know this is probably not the place or time to say it but tonight I'm really drunk and I've locked myself in the bathroom and cried and scratched holes into my arm because everything has just burst out of me and I can't hold it any longer. I've cried more times tonight than in the last five years and my friends found me and hugged me and I cried and tried to scar myself. I don't know what to do and I'm done pretending I know what to do. I'm sorry I'm ranting. I'm drunk


this reminds me of the song 'Dear Younger Me' by MercyMe


DODIE you should make a review of la la land!!


This actually helped me ahahaaa wooo ily


Letter to my 16 year old self:

It doesn’t magically get better.
Do not spend your life just watching and expect anything to change.  I know you were hurt, are hurt. I know exactly what you’ve lived through. Wow. You lived through it. I’ve got you. You have loved through it.

Here’s the tougher part. Remember all those things that kept you alive? Family? They grow up too. Sigh.

I know what you fear. You must go out in the world. You must be willing to get crushed again. Wow, so negative. I know it hurt, but if you don’t give people the opportunity to hurt you, then you’ll end up safe and alone. Alone is very boring. What’s the point of being funny if no one is around to laugh? What is the point of being a smart alek when you are too depressed to breathe. Pick yourself up, bloody or not, and walk toward others. You will have an easier time learning to be you when you embrace your flaws and feel comfortable being exposed. (I mean emotionally; keep your clothes on. Or really just take them off when YOU want to.)

You are an adult now and you have the coping mechanisms of one. You can connect to yourself without shame or regret. Understand your body is not wrong, nor are you evil that you must fight to keep from hurting others. TRUST YOUR GOODNESS.

And go to bed. Anything you are staying up to do can be done tomorrow.

My hugs and soft heart are waiting for you. And don’t wait for it to get better. Make it better.
Love,
me


You are just cute as a button love the big glasses and the black eye brows


I can relate to the thing about everyone not looking at girls the same was as I do. I'm 19 and  didn't release that until I was 16.


Hello! Does anyone know what brand are these glasses?? Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻


Oh my gosh it's like Dodie is talking to me....


I gotta do this too advice from myself would be cool


lol “your nose gets less blobby” aka dodie got nose filler 😭😂(she admits this in her last video)


i was like peaches and parents are children in their mind? learn something new every d- oh teachers. teachers.


I feel like this is a letter to present me (who is currently entering puberty omg im hating lief )


dear younger me:
stop hiding your face behind your hair, just grow out those silly bangs
cut your hair if you want, dye your hair if you want, no one will actually yell at you
embrace your personal style, even if it's silly
stop trying so hard to get everyone to like you
and
start reading your class assigned reading!! and do your homework!!!!


I would probably say "don't pay attention to what people say, stop lying, and pay attention to your heart"


This video could be my own message to myself 2 years ago


I don't want to say anything to my younger self. I cannot forgive that person and I wish it had never existed. I hate every day that has passed. I hope I'm getting better.


ASMR detected!<br>A such pleasant video.


Helllllo Dodie! These glasses were not in your glasses video! What style are these? :D xoxoxo


'Help mum with the dishies you lazy bitch' Hahahaha dead<br>Also i know you propably won't see it, but it would make me really happy if you ever cover a song called Electic love. Okay That's all Thank you ily bye

'Help mum with the dishies you lazy bitch' Hahahaha dead
Also i know you propably won't see it, but it would make me really happy if you ever cover a song called Electic love. Okay That's all Thank you ily bye


Well I'm just gonna do this here
Dear younger me:
Your brother is going to be a total pain. He's small and innocent now, but he won't be in a few years. Brace yourself and enjoy the quiet while you have it.
Mom and dad are going to fight more often. Don't worry - they still love each other and things are gonna be okay with them.
Questioning your sexuality is fine. You're gonna figure it out.
Keep playing piano! You'll get better!
Keep singing! Your voice needs improvement, so get off your high horse and practice!
You're gonna be okay, no matter what happens.
x
-older you

AND TO ADD TO THAT
Your grades are gonna get not ideal (not bad, but not straight As anymore) and that's fine.
You're gonna get in lots of hard places.
You're gonna cut your hair short. You're gonna get it dyed BLUE.
and it's great.
Enjoy being a smol bean


dear younger me - nobody gives a shit about how your hair looks expect you, even if you can't believe it, it's true. And try not to change  it around to much for other people otherwise you'll end up with a weird sort of triangle hair cut thing, don't ask me how it's possible it just is and it really doesn't look great because I have to look at it everyday because it's my student picture, and that's not just me worrying about what people thought of it, it really does look shit XD hopefully the picture will change though after the Christmas holidays... I can't bear it any longer.


She's like literally talking to me😂 but instead in love with lil pump😂


Dear younger me:

Why did you cry so much?? It's okay to be embarrassed, just laugh it off. Also, Jenna was a bitch, a pretty one, but still a bitch. You're not a lesbian, but you do like girls. It's okay that it isn't allowed in your religion, you don't have one in the future. You'll find someone that appreciates you, and loves you even if they don't directly say it. They miss you when you don't talk for a while even after you two break up. You're the best of friends, not every ex is a bad one. You depend on them emotionally as much as they depend on you. You're the light of their life as much as you are to them but, you're still independent from them. And that's good. You have your own life and friends.


damn your eye makeup is good in this video


I'm pretty sure my younger self would hate me… she lowkey hated a lot of people 😕 But it's okay cause I mostly like myself now and I don't hate anyone yayyy


0:36 Important message some people I know need to realise.


lol dodie ive never seen you so sassy and angry


<i>Pokes my own nose</i> hopefully you'll end up like Dodie's nose.

_Pokes my own nose_ hopefully you'll end up like Dodie's nose.


Dear younger me,
Don't waste your time on fake friends
Thanks lol


Dodie changed her name to Do'ie it suits you


<b>did we literally live the same lives??</b>

*did we literally live the same lives??*


00:10 when my mum asks how my grades are.

I HAVE THE SAME GLASSES BUT THEY LOOK SO MUCH BETTER ON YOU OMFG


WHERE ARE THOSES GLASSES FROM I MUST KNOW THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND I WANT THEM I WANT THEMMMMM

Where do you get your glasses ? I am in desperate need of a pair of good looking glasses.


dear younger me, life sucks right now and I'd love to tell you that it gets better but unfortunately in my experience is has not gotten any better in a long time so strap in for the long haul, I can honestly say I really don't know if things will be ok. Sorry.


Anyone know what kind of camera and microphone she uses?


don't talk so loudly, you're being rude to people, and please please don't be alone, you aren't good at the whole being alone thing, and no matter how awful you feel, something great WILL come out of it i promise.


I could not stop listening to the first 3 seconds


this makes me scared for my future because im 14 and im the happiest little child on the planet but im scared that something will happen and ill develop some sort of mental illness and it scares me so much that something like that could happen i just want to stay in my little happy bubble


You're your future's younger self now. Be nice.


Was anyone thinking of the song “Dear younger me”? Because that’s what I was thinking.


Dear younger me: I apologize in advance for the bad english bad hear me out. (1) You can't help or save from themselves every people that you know. You need to be selfish sometimes, that would save you from a couple of bad situations. (2) Speak out when you feel bad, It took more than 10 years to find a way to help your anxiety/panic attacks, Maybe if you speak sooner, we can sleep more, think about it. (3) You know what are the things that you don't feel good doing it, don't do it, it doesn't matters if he doesn't like you anymore, I can tell you, he doesn't worth it. (4) Please, do exercise, and go to the dentist, and don't be scare of the leg operation, Go to another doctor and tell them or we're gonna have more than 4 operations and 1 years recovering from each operation. and (5) He doesn't love you. So, don't reject your friends just to be with him, don't lie to your parents just to be with him, Don't waste your time, You know that you're better off alone. The day of meeting the one hasn't come yet but it will worth it. I Promise. <br>PS: Dream bigger, We will live in London and Madrid one day, so study please and do your freaking homework, it's not that hard and you know it.

This is now how you end your videos, always


I wouldn't tell my younger self anything to do with lessons learned because that alters the timeline wherein they avoid the mistakes they made leading up to my/their current existence and thus create a time paradox and reality in which I can't feasibly exist and they would remain naive having not learnt key life lessons.


Dear Younger me,<br>Realize your parents never trusted you past the 3rd grade.   Your holding a candle for family who will never forgive.   Stop trying to conflict resolute, and live your own life.   Your gonna end up wasting 18 years of adulthood chasing a carrot on a treadmill otherwise.

Dear Younger me,
Realize your parents never trusted you past the 3rd grade.   Your holding a candle for family who will never forgive.   Stop trying to conflict resolute, and live your own life.   Your gonna end up wasting 18 years of adulthood chasing a carrot on a treadmill otherwise.


I was having a bad day and getting a notification that Dodie has posted and omg 'help mum do the dishes lazy bitch' made my day so much better


wish I could have watched this several years ago omg, younger me needed to hear all of these, I really hate them and it's literally been about 5 years omg


ARE YOU ME FROM THE FUTURE? IS WHAT YOU SAY TRUE OLDER ME?


Dear younger me
1. stop panicking about that thing, you know the one. no one cares
2. for the love of God do your homework. it's all well and good now but when you're almost failing year 11 you'll regret it
3. things will get worse before they get better, you just have to accept that.
4. those friends you try so hard to impress?? not worth it. You'll find some better ones in high school
5. no one gives two shits what you look like. calm the fuck down
6. don't take everything personally. not everyone is out to get you


did you cut your hair??? its really nice btw 😊💕💕


Dodie. Please stop. You're so pretty. It hurts me a lot. You're so pretty. I can't stop looking at your hair. k bye


i may only be 16 now but fricken heck i would love to tell younger me a good few things,, mainly dont freak out about the fact that you like girls?? you like boys but not as much as girls but man thats okay!! even if your mum avoids the topic, when youre 16 you realise she loves you for who you are and no, she doesn't hate that you like girls. you're in year 7! stop! stressing! enjoyyyyy life and you meet your best friend next year who you love sm and wouldnt trade them and they help you get through the hell of school!! i wish you knew these things then but yknow its not that bad, you're getting there :')


Dear younger and future me

1- Not everyone thinks the same way you do. Just because someone reacts or acts in a way you don't understand doesn't mean they don't like you, or there's something wrong that you've done.
2- You're NEVER required to keep friends that used to be very dear to you. If they've become toxic, don't let them drag you down too. Don't let yourself become totally invested in just.. helping them. Of course, do try to help and don't just throw them away, but if they don't want help, don't let them drag you down too.
3- Not everyone deserves your love and kindness. I know you HATE disappointing, and HATE not only seeing the best in others, but there are times that people don't deserve that. They will soak up your kindness, but then treat you like shit. Don't let yourself be used like that.
4- Don't hide from mental disorders. Trying (and failing) to pretend like they don't exist WON'T fix anything. Face them, and put up a fight, or else they WILL totally consume you.
5- Let people in! Just because some very important people have used your transparency of your disorders against you doesn't mean everyone will. It doesn't matter if they "don't understand". It's nice to have someone who's been through the same thing, but your friends love you enough to see that you're hurting, and that's enough for them to help you. They don't need to understand, you just have to let them love you.
6- Don't let others define what's wrong and right for you. A lot of people have a lot of different ideas and thoughts about the world, so don't let your parents or your friends define what's right and wrong for you. Figure it out yourself!
7- Don't run from your sexuality. Being a closeted lesbian in a Christian, southern home is HARD. But don't let your family and friends steal your chance of true happiness and love from you. Don't cry yourself to sleep thinking there is something deeply, truly wrong and evil inside of you just for simply loving another human being.
8- If you're not comfortable, or don't feel safe telling someone something, then don't! Especially with your sexuality, you have no commitment to anyone to tell them anything you don't want to. Of course, lying isn't the best way to go, but no one deserves to know anything personal that you don't want to share (for good reasons).
9- People can love you for YOU. I know you definitely feel unlovable, but that doesn't make it true. People will fall in love with YOU, so don't you dare try to change yourself to be who you think is more date-able or more likable. There's no one like you, so if you try to be someone else you're just an unoriginal copy of a human being. Don't live a life you don't love just for the sake of being who you think the people around you will like.
10-  Life isn't a big scheme. Sure, you've got massive goals like med school and being a surgeon, but don't get too caught up in that. These are your years of youth, so don't waste them only looking at the future. Spend a bit of time enjoying the world around you, and don't be afraid to go out of your own way to live a little. Life is about experiences, not how many goals you've met.
11- Age doesn't matter, really. 14 year old you/me wasted so many brilliant opportunities, and we didn't do them because we thought, oh, let's wait until we are an adult, or we're older at least. If you are actually capable of doing something, DO IT! There's no age when you're allowed to start living your life, so start living NOW. Sure you will need to prove yourself a bit more if you're younger, and you've still got everything to learn, but that doesn't mean you can't start making videos, or selling art, or publishing books, or creating a life you want to live in. There's not an age when your life starts to mean something.
12- Finally, your life won't always be how it is right now. The tragic and beautiful thing about the world is that it's ALWAYS changing. Things will get worse, but they will also get better. You thought that you would always be as terribly depressed, bulimic, suicidal, spaced out, anxious, self loathing, and basically ruined as we were 5 years ago. But today, I can say I'm a functional human being. Sure we still have loads of issues, but now we know what happiness feels like. It does get better, if you try. I never could afford to go to counseling, but we've gotten better. I have found things and people that I love in places I would have never expected to find them, and slowly but surely we've improved. Life never stays the same. The inconsistency of the world is what gives life constant meaning if you learn to accept your life and strive to be the best you can be. Humans are born with infinite potential, so if you take your dreams and change them into goals, then you can be and do anything.

Anyways, that's my "little" list of things I wish I could tell my past self and my future self :3 <3 This video really made my day


Does anyone know where she got those glasses?


Ah just realize this was made on my birthday :)


Dear younger me: HAHAHAH LOL JK IM STILL YOUNG....plz give me advice


This feels like dodie is speaking to me..... but seriously younger self and present self, you'll be fine. and stop with your shit, you'll be okay.


I may have done something that could have just completely ruined any chance of becoming friends with my old friend again. I can't believe I just realized it. I had a crush-ish--it wasn't really a crush it was more of a hey I recognize you are beautiful and strong but I still only love you as a friend. She was my friend and we hadn't spoke for a month, but we were on decent terms. Then I needed to redo my personal narrative and I needed a topic. So because I needed a topic and the whole situation was something fresh in my head I decided to write about that. She got mad at me, because I told the teacher. I told the teacher so I wouldn't have a mental breakdown, or worse kill myself. AND SHE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT, I NEVER PLANNED TO TELL OUR TEACHER. IT JUST HAPPENED. I keep having panic attacks, I am having palpitations, shaking all the time. She doesn't understand how much it hurts. How much I have wanted to die. But, we both can't look at each other.

Jane Doe if you are reading this, I hate you, and love you.


Dear older U I need to ask a foolish question as I don't think before putting my typing fingers into gear (SORRY) - Is that fool who trusted fate less of a memory as we approach year end?


The depression comes later...

Too dark?

The depression comes later...

Too dark?


your worst fears......will come true<br>but it's okay!

your worst fears......will come true
but it's okay!


I wore a push up bra through most of high school cause I wanted bigger boobs... my boobs ended up getting way bigger and now I wish I had smaller boobs ahhaha


Dear future me and past me: If you help yourself then no one else will have too.


dear younger me: Think before you do shit


Dear younger me, Grow some balls and talk to her. You think you'll get over her you won't and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Especially when she marries someone else.


To younger me (a.k.a the one who's not 13), please stop running In front of cars. In the future you do something and it totally changes your perspective of people. Also not matter how bad you feel the next day is almost always worst. YOU LIKE HER! SHE LIKES YOU! He doesn't like you and just wants to be friends, stop being infatuated with him. Depression is a bitch. No matter what people (parents) say you are perfect and do not have to comply with what other people think you have to do. Mum would love you no matter what he thinks. Wear something other than those joggers you will get a nickname that will kill you inside because of it but just punch him In the face. Please keep doing poetry, you'll miss it. And please, please, please give mum a hug when you see her you may take her for granted but when she passes away you'll wish you hadn't had the argument with her that night. She is your absolute life line and you'll miss her so much.

Stay strong xx


Am I the only one who wanted to push her glasses up the whole video?


i think dodie just roasted her past self.


Anna Aquino your attractive! do you stay in the state's

Anna Aquino Is that you in the picture 😘


Okay but she looks the same as she does in her miss Jackson cover


I used to hate my small boobs too but now I love them


This is beautiful Dodie it's so true and btw La La Land iS BEAUTIFUL AOSJMNWJSSHHSJAIS


danni must be here danni watches like every video too


Errrrrrrrr it feels like she's talking right to me


Okay, I'm sorry this is kind of over, but I saw a lot of Jon in her facial expressions in this video.


oiiii where did u get ur glasses from? :))


Dear younger me: you don’t need to crush on that boy in fourth grade just because you heard a rumor that he liked you. He will say no I don’t like you, and it will be awkward for many years to come. So please JUST GIVE HIM UP THERE WILL BE MORE


I'm taking this advice.

(btw ur really cute. )


If had to rewind because I'm tired to make sure she didn't say pasta baking. I was like man I love pasta? Ooohhhhhh not pasta


thought you said "pasta baking" and was petty confused for a quick little second


please please please please tell me where ur glasses are from pleaseeeeeeeeee I want it so bad!


I do the same things as dodie I lie but I'm trying to stop but i get caught up in them and its so annoying


Dear younger me, I want you to know that EVERYTHING is going to be okay. I know your going through a lot, but there's some things I want to tell you ;)-1. its ok to be gay, there's NOTHING wrong with being yourself. Believe me when i tell you that you'll feel proud! and don't worry, it'll be ok, I promise.-2. Its also okay to be confused and not know what to do, but you need to always remember that there's people that can help you, you just need to give them a chance.-3. don't be so selfish, there's other people in the world that are not as fortunate as you.-4. you don't need to be skinny or have the prettiest clothes, or even wear makeup because you think your ugly and no ones gonna like you, because let me tell you a little secret.. You are beautiful just the way you are.-5. don't stress because you haven't had your first kiss, or because you think no ones gonna like you because let me tell you another little secret... Your gonna have a beautiful girlfriend, that's gonna love you because your different and that's what makes you special :))))-6. I want you to know that I'm actually proud of you, and of the person your gonna become, just keep living your life to the fullest and don't let anyone bring you down. <3


why wouldn't you like your younger self? apart from sweaty stains and not helping your mother more often? 'cause i feel like that is forgivable, but maybe i didn't pay enough attention...


Are u sure this is to yourself because it sounds like ur telling me cuz dear god that is me


Dear younger me:
1. I know Coke and Pepsi are great, but don't drink it tWICE A DAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN IT GONNA FUCK UP YOUR FACE! It's fine to treat yoself but pleeaaaaasse consider your skin for the love of God
2. Don't worry about you skin too much, drink water, THAT IS GOOD.
3. SOME PEOPLE HAVE WORSE SKIN, WHY YOU WORRYING
4. Make sure you know how you feel about people before you do things with them, cause you'll end up hurting them as well as yourself. AKA, don't do loveydovey stuff, make out, or sext people UNLESS YOU ARE 500% sure
5. you like boys as well as girls, just a heads up, and that's OKAY
6. there is no need to doubt yourself, you're actually pretty talented and academically goodly so stop acting like you have it bad when you really, really don't
7. don't complain about being socially awkward and do nothing about it. it's difficult, but you're not gonna get anywhere if you just sit in a corner
8. POPULAR PEOPLE AREN'T NECESSARILY ASSHOLES THAT ARE MAKING FUN OF YOU, HAVE A LAUGH, BE NICE
9. Be nice to people, it gets you everywhere
10. appreciate the a e s t h e t i c
11. you got this, you have awesome friends and family and you will be fine

from you, when you're 15


Dear older me, live life you will blink and life will be over


i thought of the matthew west song from the title aww


my nose is blobby too im prayin it stops


Dear younger me,
You're not wrong. You will find people who realise that and who won't let you stand in a shadow of everyone.
You will find true friends someday, you will realise that you can actually make friends. You will have people to talk to, you will have fun in school and oh my will you be a busy busy girl. But busy with fun!! Fun is good!
You will fall in love by 16 and by 17 you will be broken hearted. But you will have loved, and you will have been loved. You are loved, you will realise that I promise.
Dear younger me, you won't give up. I promise.


you are advising your younger self but also your audience and that is powerful and clever and made me feel hopeful. i may not watch your videos as religiously as i once did but there's no denying the fact you had an influence on me, you made me realise that sometimes my feelings do not isolate me, that there is somebody in this world who i look up to that has these feelings too. your showcasing of your imperfections make you unlike the others dodie and im very glad you made this video we all have assholish younger selves! thank you, i guess, for a whole lot


Also don't write "Fuck" in some kids hat and not get money from your dad :)


Omg it's trending it's trending it's trending!!!!!


awww you kinda look like the girl from Harry Potter


well

1; don't go out with a boy that just wants to get in your pants
2; read. a lot. it helps.
3; try to get help for your mental problems
4; please don't cut yourself
5; don't starve yourself
6; in 2016 you'll meet the man of your dreams. his name is kyle. he's perfect to you.
7; avoid a girl with the initials d.s. and a boy with the initials c.h. and n.d. they are evil
8; love your mom. and your grandparents. please
9; you look cute in glasses
10; you are such a good singer
11; don't be rude i cannot say this enough
12; pay attention to your church pastor
13; jeans are you life saver
14; so are sweaters
15; your body is beautiful. just because you aren't skinny doesn't make you fat
16; nobody is judging you
17; you are bi. just because you're christian doesn't mean it controls your sexual orientation
18; your bio teacher will be your best friend
19; don't take art
20; stay in school and be smart.


Whenever I see u I think of harry potter... im british too but its the glasses


This is my favorite favorite favorite favorite


dear younger me,  he doesn't love you. get over it


Ha, younger me hated her nose too. I suppose that is a thing.


Heh, too bad you can't like a video twice 😊


I love younger you I love preset you and I love future you


Things to tell my past me.
1. Dont be a fucking doormat.
2. Put yourself out there.
3. If people seem bad for you, leave them. Trust your gut.
4. Work hard. DO IT.
5. Realise that how you feel is NOT YOU.
6. You should eat more.
7. Get sleep. Social media isnt everything.
8. Cry more. Dont hold things in.
9. You will be able to fall in love, but they wont always love you back.
10. Get out more. Hang out with friends.
11. Its ok to not be okay. Tell people.
12. Be YOU. 💜
13. You will find it hard to accept yourself, but eventually you will.


Did you say my worst fear will come true? Nooooo!!!! The big banana man is real!!!!


dodie I am wearing a long sleeved gray top right now. Should I be worried?


thought she was talking to me for a second then


in the future you cant show videos to the past


Don't have any advice for myself cus I'm still an immature lil bean


dodie... i couldn't focus because of your damn glasses XD put em right lol


To my younger self. DONT FUCKING TALK TO THOSE PEOPLE AT DANCE! You have your two friends so stay with them. Realize that you like girls and tell people early on. In 6th grade don't talk to Brooklyn and hang with Mads. Tell YOUR FUCKING MOTHER THAT PEOPLE ARE BULLYING YOU! Also your beautiful. Also don't eat like shit. You will regret it.


why do I feel like i'm really not supposed to be here. she's just talking to herself... what? i'm confused...


Dear younger me:
I love you very much
But
Like
Shut up


Dear younger me : you can have a crush of girls cause guess what YOUR GAY and you may hate your glasses now but you will never be you without them  and love ya self and don’t be afraid


Joshua Coppiard with that flicky hair, gotta lav him


Your glasses are awesome but they are so far down your nose, i could feel the discomfort of having them as far down on my nose. I really wanted to reach into the screen and push up your glasses so you could see properly. Great video though


Does she know that her younger self won't see this

No. She honestly thinks that she's found a way to send this video back in time, so that her younger self will see it. -_-


how old is the dodie youre speaking to??


I thinks she like a girl tomska

Just me?


dear younger me,
stop being so obsessed with the color blue. and My Little Pony. also you don't have OCD or multiple personality, those are actual terrible mental diseases, you're perfectly healthy for now.
stop pretending your'e still best friends with that poor girl. also don't feel betrayed when she has a new best friend after you didn't talk for 2 years. and stop shoving it in her face. don't text her. don't you fuCKING DARE. PUT DOWN THE PHONE. I SAID PUT DOWN THE GODDAMN PHO--
aaand there goes your social life for the next 7 years. thanks a lot.


are you talking to me?? cos it sounds like it 😂😂😁😦😧


Omg i saw the clickbait and i thought you were Colleen Ballinger


To my younger self:
1 - not everyone has to like you, and you don't have to like everyone.
2 - being insecure is normal. don't think you're alone.
3 - having feelings is a good thing.
4 - don't apologize so often. seriously. it's a problem.
5 - you don't have to be so modest all of the time. be more confident.
6 - if you have a chance do something, do it.
7 - get rid of friends that you don't need. they're not healthy for you.
8 - stand up for yourself. it might seem scary, but it'll seriously help you.
9 - tell the truth. lies might be easy at first, but they just turn into a mess.
10 - decide on things. if you don't know what to choose, too bad. make good decisions.

oliviaoddle everything you said was so me when I was young

is this directed to me like seriously lol


I'm fifteen and I really needed this thanks for the good advice dodes. Also you're so beautiful and the setting is so aethetic. Thank you for this amazing vid


i like that we can go thru this learning curve with you, just by watching your videos. obvs a lot of it is personal but you share so much of what uve learnt in the world with us and its so nice to have vids like these wear u tie everything up. love ya dodes, keep making things!


I really relate to this at the moment...
These are a lot of things I would say to myself right now.

Thank you so much for being great person Dodie! 🙆🏾🌸


fuck i'm crying , i've told myself all of those so many times and it feels just so good to relate  <br>thank you dodie

fuck i'm crying , i've told myself all of those so many times and it feels just so good to relate
thank you dodie


I would tell my younger self to stand up for herself... that would have helped a lot :) Loved this, Dodie!


I really need this. Thank you. Even though this wasn't really for me, thank you for saying it. You always cheer me up. Odds are I'll never meet you, like the few other people who have actually positively affected my life, but if you somehow read this I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for making me feel more normal when I felt I was alone. Thank you for making me smile when I was on the verge of tears. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. Thank you.


I love these videos but i feel like me and young dodie have a lot of things in common so this really made we reflect on who i am as a person. I hope i can grow up to be as wonderful as you, dodie,  ilysm!


I feel like I really need this, as a 15 year old with big dreams. Thanks Doders 💜


Thank you Dodie! I know this is a video to your younger self, but I'm pretty sure younger viewers, like me, appreciate this. Some of us need to hear things like this for advice. Thank you for helping me. You are such an inspiration. I got a Ukulele because of you (and i just really wanted to have one and know how to play your songs) I have become more of myself because of you. So Thank you (once again) because you made me so much more confident in myself than I think I could ever do by myself. :)


This was super genuine as compared to other videos I've watched about letters to a younger self. Thanks Dodie, this was great. Even if it was meant for your past self and not us


this made me feel good about my past and that it wasnt really bad at all thank you dodie for being a great role model & cheeky singer


omg i relate and being a teen i really needed this, thank you dodie:)


Ain't it mad how much a few years can change a person. Loved this video!<br>(also can i just say how much i adore your eye make up in this hehe)

Ain't it mad how much a few years can change a person. Loved this video!
(also can i just say how much i adore your eye make up in this hehe)


I LOVE YOU! This was a very nice video to just make me stop and think a little bit about what I always worry about and how honestly it doesn't really matter and how I just need to be me and life will happen :) thank you Dodie!


As simple as this video is I bloody love it! I'm proud of you dodie (lower case and without the Clark) 21 year old dodie should be proud of 17 year old dodie because look how far she's come now, you're still you, but maybe just a better version of yourself, not really sure if this makes sense but oh well, love you dodie💛


Thank you so so much. I know me leaving a comment is highly insignificant to you and any of your fans, and I may not be entitled to saying anything since I can't relate to everything in the video. But you've opened my eyes and made my day, and possibly even my life.


Thank you for making this video. You made my life better than it was and thank you for being so inspirational. ^-^ I'll sure tell you that your advice is very useful!


I think baby Dodie would love you; you'd be her style icon, her psychological guru and, ironically, like a big sister to her <3


This is just what I needed right now thank you Dodie xx


This made me so happy. God there are so many things I would tell younger me... 💕


I'm in a really, really crappy place right now, but damn do you give me hope. Thank you, Dodie.


you're such a lovely bean, keep going 💘 also you're so beautiful and you say really smart things. lots of love <3


I really needed this today. Thank you, dodie


You always make me smile. You are a wonderful person!


Thanks this really helped. You're truly inspiring and i felt like you were giving these advises to me LOVE YOUU


I love this! I'm kind of at that stage so it helps. 💖


I know she's talking to her younger self but I feel like she's talking to me because I relate to like all of this
Thank you for this Dodie
P.s. You're awesome❤


Oh I absolutely loved this video! Bravo Dodie! :)


This video was so lovely. Dodie I feel as if we are learning the same, if not similar, things together so watching this was like me talking to my younger self as well. love you Dodie :)


This actually helps alot. I relate with younger you alot. It's nice to have some counter act these feeling and like understand what the mean. If that makes sense.  😊 i just wanna say thank you!


Please can you do more videos like this? (as in talking/advice etc) Because I love your music, but also your personality


I took every single tip to great notice. Truly thank you Dodie


i dont know why but i felt like you were talking to me in this and it made me cry and i connected to everything you said and its so great thank you for this video dodie i love you ahhhhh


This was so lovely. Might make one of my own because it's making me think things.


Honey this was so fudging related at my teenage life right now, love youuuu 🖤(//∇//)


This was the greatest video! I love you Dodie!


Oh god this is what I needed today!! Back in my hometown from uni and all my younger self feelings have come back ahhh


things you would say to your younger self really helped me mostly you saying that you're going to be okay whenever you say its going to be okay I believe you :) thank you Dodie


This video made me relax about quite a lot of things which have been going on lately. x


I related to this so much and I'm my young self... anyone agrees??Thank you dodie ❤❤❤✋for telling me what I can't seem to tell myself except the boobs part mine are too big halp 😂😂😂


tbh a lot of this applies to me four years ago AND now a bit. ALSO HI DODIE ILYSM!!!!! ur an inspirational angel of ukeleles ♥♥


This video... I needed this. Thank you dodie


I love these throwback videos. This is so true, ghe he. It makes me thing what would I say to my younger self?? I don't know the help mum part was very good. I would definitely tell myself to keep a journal and to start with music sooner. I would tell my mum to put me on some sort of music or singing lessons, piano or guitar. Cause I love making music since I was 14 and life would've been a lot easier if I had that escape earlier. I would say I am proud of my younger self cause she did well. There was no panic, there aren't any regrets or major insecurities. <br>I'm 20 know I think in a couple years I have way more comments cause life got a lot harder and my brain is still holding on to that childish stage where it doesn't worry that much. We'll see how long we cope :P

I got really worked up last night over this absolutely stupid thing but your voice and your music immediately helped. You a good egg Dodie <3


I love this. I love you :)<br>This is gonna open so many eyes :)

I love this. I love you :)
This is gonna open so many eyes :)


I feel like you were talking to me. I'm very similar to you but I've used these points and do try to use them. I'm actually really nice to mum and help with her 😂💙🌸 I love you dodie 🌈⛵🌍 I also say loads of these things to my friends. happyvibesonly 😂☕🌼


I had a dream last night I met you and I was gonna take a picture with you and tell you how much you mean to me but I woke up. Honestly I hope one day I get to


this made me so happy for so many reasons ahh !!


For some reason I started crying when you looked Into the camera and said " everything is going to be okay"


I'd say to my younger self to stop trying to change, you're so amazing and later in life you'll miss being like you once were. And stop caring about what people say or think, you'll soon find out you're your best company most part of the time. And I know you already reads a lot, but read more, there won't be enough time for it when you're my age. And even though everyone says you're super smart and intelligent, don't sattle, you can do better, i'm sure. And love and admire you, younger me <3 (also you, dodie)


thank you dodie i really needed to hear this stuff


dear younger me: stay strong, it will be okay : 3


I would tell my younger self that having a boyfriend doesn't make you cool or grown up or whatever the fuck else I thought back then. It's okay if you are single, and there is genuinely nothing wrong with it.


that was amazing dodie thank you so much


who else thinks Dodie as an awesome big sister thats talking to you in this vid


I really needed this video because although you are talking to your younger self it feels as though it is advice for each individual watching this video.


One thing that I would say to my younger self is: It is okay to or agree with your parents about everything.


on the verge of crying and laughing simultaneously


"i don't really like you...at all" hahaha dodie i'm glad i'm not the only one who lowkey hates their past self


ok when it came to the end i just burst out crying & i don't even know why. but bless you for this video dodie bc you've helped me talk to my inner self & tell myself everything that you just told younger you. i mean i feel like i've been given this new look on life just from watching this & i'm grateful that you're alive dodie bc your videos are wonderful & inspiring & juST you are inspiring & helpful. & i know addressing this to dodie herself is stupid bc there's no way in hell she's going to get round to reading this. but christ i just wish i could like this video 7308408308 times if not more. the world needs more people like dodie honeSTLYYYYY


pls do a "dear older me" too i think that would be interesting :)


It's okay to like what you like. Nobody will judge you, and if they do; screw them! You are nice and kind and true, don't lose that. Don't.


okay i loved this video <br>but also Dodie your glasses are so aesthetic & i needed to say this

okay i loved this video
but also Dodie your glasses are so aesthetic & i needed to say this


I would tell my younger self:
It is not the end of the world that you haven't kissed anyone yet, you are only 15/16 and you have a life to live, stop waiting and waiting for the right guy to come around, he will come in time and he is one of the best things that has happened to you
You don't have to become someones slave and do everything they say to try and get them to like you back, he is just using you, and it is killing you inside. Just accept it and move on, you will feel so much better for it. There are people who will actually like you for you and who don't expect you to hang on their every word
Your body is awesome. You may not like it and we are still working on it now, but we will get there one day. Please stop beating yourself up about it.
My god learn how to do your hair, you look like you have a birds nest on your head, learn how to use a blowdryer effectively p l e a s e


I wish I could watch my future self giving me tips and stuff<br>Could u imagine oml

I wish I could watch my future self giving me tips and stuff
Could u imagine oml


Young Dodie listen to yourself, she has your best interests in mind


"you will break, you will learn" I can hear her screaming love break and learn


Let's hope the future technology make it possible for us to send messages and videos back in time, then maybe Little Dodie would learn more stuff about the world :) .... Or you know, it would make Now-Dodie a complete different person lol


the biggest advice i'd give to younger me is that all the people i cared so much about the opinions of i don't even know anymore... and i'm pretty sure current me could take my own advice


Why do i forget Dodie is a normal person who goes through all the same shit we do


"not as much as you love your boobs" DODIE HAHAHA


Hahaha my nose was the same way. It was HUGE when I was 12-16, but I'm 24 now and it's still big, but much better haha


but I am looking at you dodie!!!! but it's because you are so flippin beautiful!!! inside and out spots or not mad or not. like you wrote in secret for the mad "they [your audience] love you so much that you won't regret it" LUV U


LORD NOW I JUST WANNA YELL AT YOUNGER ME FOR ALWAYS WEARING THOSE DARK GREY LONG SLEEVE TOPS


i felt like she wasn't even talking to little dodie anymore it was like so much of that applied to me and so much of it used to and i'm so glad for the things i have overcome and the things i will overcome eventually


aw my god. beb you, look, so cute, and i know this is going to be happy sad and i'm really not prepared.. <3


"stop getting yourself in realtionships you don't want to be in" @YOUNGERME LISTEN TO THIS OKAY.


I THOUGHT MY NOSE LOOKED BLOB-Y AS A KID TOO. I wanted a nose job at 11, but it's shaped out very nicely now.


SO TOUCHING now i wanna crawl in a hole and cry. ugh.


I think about situations like this: (It helps me...might help you...Idk)
So depending on said situation but it could be like..feeling like everyone's looking at you or you made a tiny mistake but it feels like a massive mistake right now.

I think to myself...what a wonderful world...no..no.
I actually think to myself.....'will this actually matter in a week? A months time? A years time?'
The conclusion I 95% of the time come to is No, no it won't matter.
Everyone has their own worries about themselves.
In the end it won't matter.


she reminds me so much of todd's sister from dirk gently's holistic detective agency


You should make a letter to your older self!


I wasn't prepared for my queen to upload :D


This is advice I can take myself. (Except for the Joshua bit)


'Everything is going to be okay

I mean your worst fears are gonna come true but that's FINE'


I feel like younger me was a happier me. Although she was hella dumb and ignorant, life was soooo much simpler. TBH I dont think my younger self would be happy with who I am right now. sad truth


I luv u so much!!! Merry Christmas I hope it's amazing for u Xx Can u get a festive reply? Xx


Unrelated question to this video: How is your laser acne treatment going? Just curious :)


kinda humorous because all of these are relatable


i feel like youre talking to me bc it sounds like me youre talking about in some parts


The first bloody time notification has actually worked. Thank god XD Love this <3


Where are your glasses from,  they are beautiful x


You're so cute! can I just ask how you did your eyebrows today?


i still AM my younger self, and I wonder what my older self would say to me, because honestly I'm kind of a little shit. (I'm not like mean or anything, I'm just iind of annoying, I would never be mean to anyone though, spread kindness. Also saying i would never be mean to anyone makes it sound like I would be mean to people.)


I would say hi it'll just be okay. That's all I would need


you seem very happy...im so happy to you happy☺


Ps this helped me a lot, as do all your videos


I'm only 15 but I still got somethings to say to a younger me:
1. You like girls, it's very very gay but also totz okay
2. The first girl who likes you back is not your "soulmate" so don't worry when she stops liking you back, because...
3. You're not alone without her, your friends already know about number 1 and they really couldn't careless.
4. Lighten up a little, everything has started going so fast and yeah that's scary but make it fun bc otherwise you're just bringing yourself down
:)


Does anyone know where she get's her glasses from?


dear younger me, stop freaking out about whether future you will like yourself. I like you always. be kind to urself. also look up sensory processing disorder, it'll save u some time.


Is this a Dear Young Dodie or a message directed straight to me?😭


I AM NOT CRYING WHAT R U TALKIN ABOUT no actually I am because I can't help but feeling like you are talkin to me as future me or something like this ant OHH THE SYMPATHY


"masturbating is not evil."

-dodie clark 2k16
