dear 30 year old me

I feel like I'm witnessing a live historical moment

cant wait to come back to this in 5 years and cry

Why did "I wonder who you love, I wonder who you miss" send me into tears immediately

0:52 Dodie is throwing shade at someone who not only doesn’t exist yet but is also herself

dodie thinking ages 26 to 30 is 9 years cracks me up. we love artists who cant do math.

can’t wait to see dodie react to this when she’s 30 🥺

i cannot believe it’s been a year since the last one wow

dodie is a literal angel on earth and i absolutely refuse to believe otherwise

God this is even scary for me, because we’ll also be aging as she does. I’M GONNA BE AN ADULT WHEN SHE REACTS TO THIS AAAAAA

"it's weird to mourn something that will come back"

,,woah

in 5 years im so excited for there to be a screencap of 25-year-old dodie saying, "maybe you're not crying this time" and 30-year old dodie to be fully in tears

"What is the new experience that you've had that you can't believe I haven't had yet?" I just started sobbing because if I'd ended it when I wanted to I wouldn't have had all these amazing experiences I have and it just hurt for a second. I'm glad I stayed though. And I'm glad you did too.

DEAR 30 YEAR OLD DODIE WHEN YOU COME BACK TO THIS HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELLO I LOVE YOU

i’ve been here since “dear 25 year old me.” wow.

When I was 15 I wanted to be 10 again. When I was 20 I wanted to be 15 again. When I’m 25 I’m pretty sure I’ll want to be 20 again.

I am 30 and a half. It's truly been such a gorgeous, liberating age and also the age I discovered dodie. So sending love to current and future 30 year olds. I am looking forward to being the old lady at your Manchester concert who hasn't come with their child 😂

I recently turned 20, feels very strange knowing I’m not a teenager. It’s scary but exciting. Expensive too! 😂

It’s weird to think that a lot of us will still be watching in 5 years time- time is weird lol...😅

i screamed “YES” when i got this notification oh my god

“Take care of me” what sweet words to say to your self 🥲

I am living for the rearranged "Build A Problem". Also, I hope the Dodie dots never go out of style. ✨💖💫

I love these as I’m 5 years younger than her so when she speaks to her younger self (same age as me) it feels like she’s talking to /giving me advise for the stage that I’m at

I love you like an unhealthy amount of a lot. If you're reading this just know that I only figured out I had depersonalization because of you and I love you so so much for talking about it. You're my inspiration, never stop believing in yourself 🖤🖤

can't wait to come back to this in 5 years and cry

It’s so hard to understand how when I watch 30 year old dodie react to this, I will be 21. I’ve been watching her and listening to her since I was 12. I truly feel like we’ve grown up together even though we’ve never met. Dodie’s music has helped me through so much and I hope it will always be that way :)

When dodie described here childhood “it blows my mind how far away childhood feels it feels like another universe. Like another life” I felt that. Been trying to describe that feeling for a while now and dodie just did 🥲

As a current 30 year old, I can tell you, 4yrs isn't that long Dodie... This will probably fly by... Enjoy it, time (& attention) is the most precious commodity we have ❤🌈☀

dodie: dear 30 year old me
me: flashbacks here we go again--

i think there was a big difference in dear 25 vs dear 30. when she was younger it was a lot more anxiety about the future (which is understandable because im at that stage right now) and, im just assuming, now it just feels more like, "life is always changing and progressing and im curious as to what is waiting for me and whether its good or bad, i accept that". and that's a really amazing way to look at that future.

I’m really here tearing up because of how different this is from “dear 25 year old dodie” and how much you’ve grown and realising I’ve been here since then and didn’t even NOTICE how long it’s been and now you’re doing this video and WHAT where has the time gone I’m so emotional

“Remember to take care of me, and all the other young dodies” hit different. I’m doing some serious inner child work at the moment and oh boy did that get me right in the heart

ugh. I’m so weepy and nostalgic and proud and sad and happy all at once. Help

“I’m reluctant to name names”

Dodie five minutes later:

dodie: I'm reluctant to name anyone
also dodie: hazel, Sammy, dan, Evan, josh, shannon, jack, Hannah, Lucy ...

"Do you have a cat yet?" dodie getting right to the important bits <3

I swear, in 5 years I’ll be like “Omg, it’s been 5 years? Wow.”

Happy early birthday Dodie!!!

I hope she's doing this until she's 80, so much self-reflection <3 only love for dodie

When I saw the title I was like “didn’t she just come out with her reacting to dear 25 y/o me?” And then I realized it’s been a whole year...

“Remember to look after me and all the other young dodies” I wasn’t prepared for that.

I love how she says "did you figure out that other thing yet" knowing that future her will understand what she means, because this video is really v personal and more for herself than anyone else

"Remember to look after me and lal the other young dodies so we can look after ourselves. That hit me hard. wow. that quote will stay with me forever. Thank you dodie

Can’t wait to see this in 5 years. Have a feeling I’m gonna be crying along with dodie again like the last one. 😍

God it's bittersweet to see this because I'm turning 30 this year (whaaaat) and 25 feels close and far at the same time. You still have so many big self defining moments, but you are just a little more able to face them. 20 to 25 is a huge step, I feel like I've grown a lot in these 5 years. 25 to 30... Feels like a blur. But maybe it's just me. I still feel close to the one I was at 25, just now with more life experiences. All in all, growing up is good. Bittersweet and nostalgic as fuck, but still good.

It still feels like I was JUST sitting on my couch, crying while watching this, passing the time at the beginning of quarantine. My heart

I love this, i wanna do that for my 25th omg I’m inspired

nO IM NOT PREPARED TO CRY RIGHT NOW DODIE MY GOD

this is your prep time before the extreme cry session begins in the response video

being here for a second edition of these dear future dodie videos is MAD

wholesome ;-;

Can't wait to rewatch this with older dodie in 5 years!! Ahhh this is exciting :)

love and appreciate you a ton, dodie! 💛 I know that you'll still be inspiring people at thirty and doing what makes you happy :))

dodie please never stop doing these every five years <3

Dodie is the most amazing, sweet, kind person I have ever seen I love her so much 🥺😍

I've always loved how u compose ur thoughts into words, it's so captivating to hear your mind. Love u Dods 💖

Hey future dodes, Im currently 15, I will be 20 when you reply soooo... that’s terrifying!😀 I’m seeing you in concert in September, how was tour for BAP? I hope it was fun. Maybe I’ll see you in the comment section of your response to this video- I hope so. But 20 is old :( I want to stay 15, anyway, look after current dodie, I love her very much <3

I love the lighting and the colors in this, everything about it is beautiful

I had just turned 26 in the fall before the pandemic started, and then turned 27 during the pandemic (& it feels like a weird lost at sea year because of obvious reasons), and now I’m creeping up on 28 ... let me just say Dodie, 30 is so young and so soon!!!

I love these videos. Growing up with you feels so special

Hey, I really hope 30 y/o dodie looks back on this with happiness. I feel as though I've grown so much over the past few years and I feel that you have too, its funny how much a little time can change. Hopefully, these next few years are beautiful. Until then, stay safe, future us.

Hi me, if you're reading this in 5 years: I love you, I'm proud of you, and I can't wait to see just how far we've come <3

Dodie- I'm reluctant to name friends...
Also Dodie- names everyone

"i'm reluctant to name anyone" names everyone she's ever met

oh no i’m gonna cry at this in a few years

Oh man I was hoping you'd do another one of these, I cried my eyes out watching the last one

we were born days apart and have had a lot of similar experiences, so watching these is always trippy.

4 years ago today I first heard your music and I honestly don’t even know what to say. I remember I watched someone draw you and they said you made music, so I decided to check it out. Best decision of my whole life. I instantly fell in love. I remember watching your vedas and I was there when you dropped and I was so excited. I remember hearing I would get to go to your concert in Minneapolis and I started crying because I was so excited. (To celebrate 4 years I’m wearing the human sweatshirt I got there). I love that you still make videos and I am so excited to hear build a problem. I hope I never stop listening to you and I just wanted to let you know what a big influence you’ve had on me and how happy your music makes me. THANK YOU DODIE💛
(Ps I still miss dodie yellow lol)

OH GOSH HECK YEAH MY DUDES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UPPP LOVE YOU DODIE XXX

dodie - I hope you’re doing alright ❤️ I just wanted to say thank you forever because you have helped me so much over the years and you always had the right words when I didn’t have them myself xx

I was here to witness this amazing moment<3

Btw, love the new thumbnail design so much✨

i remember being at at 'when i'm 25' a little while after it came out, and now to see u making this man,,, oh wow u are like a little part of my family. even my friends say they see parts of you in me :,) seeing all this stuff makes me émosh🥲 i hope you're well <3

this really feels like a perfect time capsule... I am so excited to open it again in 5 years and see where we're all at again :) this was a lovely vid as always dodie

I always love watching your videos dodes <3 can’t wait to see you react to this in 5 years

i'm SO glad you're doing another one of these :')

Happy Birthday, Dodie! I love your music so much! Your music is with me basically every day!

i love these videos of yours so much, as years pass i always forget about them but then love your reactions to them when the time comes. sendin love, happy early birthday!

How can I love this human being SO much, without even knowing her

When we all look back on COVID in 5 years:
Today I got my first vaccine. It was a twenty minute drive out of town to a pop-up clinic in the Public Works Snowplow Garage. It felt so dystopian. Did it get any better? How long did it take?

Happy early birthday Dodie! You’ve always been so inspiring to me to continue as a musician and to continue on my mental health journey ❤️

This is beautiful, Dodie, thank you 💛

Girl you can’t do this to me😭
I’ve been watching you since I was 14 and I’m 20 now. Watching you grow up always gave me confidence that I can get through this life too. Keep going girl, I love you ❤️

i remember watching the dear 25 year old me one when it came out,and watching 25 year old dodie react,and im so excited to watch this in 5 years with dodie. :') .

I remember watching "dear 25 year old me" when it first came out and I am very confident I will be here when you watch back "dear 30 year old me"

Was there to watch “dear 25 year old dodie” when it first came out then felt v shocked when your response to it came out, like it flew by. I’m now thinking “wow can’t wait to watch 30 year old dodie’s response to this” and realising time is FRICKIN crazy

this is so lovely i can't wait to come back in five years!

Okay now that I’ve watched this time to cry over the fear of my life changing and losing people I currently love even though in the past letting go of people previously I loved was a good choice.

Jeez, I still remember watching the dear 25 year old me in 2015 - time is so weird. Thank you for inspiring me to write myself a letter every birthday <3 I look forward to (hopefully?) watching your response to this in 5 years?

dodie, we are going to love your album as much as we love every other song of yours. <3

I'm a newer fan. Love you by the way. I will definitely be here when you watch this when you're 30. Keep making great music!

“brain is still bad” WHY DO I RELATE. SO. MUCH.

<3 you dodie, can’t wait for the album!! happy early birthday :)

when she was talking about taking care of her younger dodies my heart exploded with emotion and now i'm sobbing

I’m so proud of your growth 🥺ilysm <3

Every single dodie video, without fail, makes me emotional by the end

I absolutely love the idea of you leaving these videos for yourself. It makes me want to do my own to reflect on. Thank you for being you, Dodie. You are a soft and calming light in the world.

imagining you being 30 is so weird, like will I still watch you in 4(ish) years? 😳

happy birthday, dodie! 🎉 hope you have an incredible day <3

seeing this makes me emotional because i know im gonna see you react to this as 30 year old dodie and i'll be like already??

since i'll be back here in 5 years anyway, here's a little time capsule for myself! can't wait to see you soon, both older self and older dodie <3

right now youre a senior in high school. its hard, not being able to have seen your friends and live out your high school senior dreams. but at least you have sarah! are you guys still friends? i hope so. i don't know what i would do without her. im entering college soon to pursue secondary education. are you still doing that? or have you changed your mind yet again? you should have graduated by now, and hopefully have a classroom of your own! are you happy with yourself? right now im still unhappy :( with my looks, my work ethic, my horrible memory, and just how i feel like my knowledge/intelligence seems to deteriorate everyday. have you met your weight goals? right now you're still about 120 lbs overweight from a healthy weight. have you grown taller? you're 5'6'' at the moment. what's your favorite bands? i listen to twenty one pilots, wallows, ajr, cavetown, and of course, dodie. ok orchestra just came out, and scaled and icy is coming out soon. how is it? i still haven't heard the full thing. what about build a problem? is it as amazing as you expected? are these bands even around still? what are your favorite movies and books? i still love perks of being a wallflower, the book thief, and the pjo/hoo series. did the percy jackson disney show come out yet? how is your family? please tell me that theyre all alive and well. i hope you talk to them everyday. did you ever get a cat? and a car? as dodie says, remember that im in you, and dont forget to take care of me as well :') see you soon.

When she said "dry your eyes" I felt so called out. Wouldn't be me sobbing over someone who doesn't even know my name, but who has affected me more than anyone in my life EVER. Love you dodie, here's to hoping the world won't have ended before your 30th so I can come back and cry some more ❤

Omg dodie can't drive, that's so comforting to me. I'm 21 and I feel like everyone around me is learning to drive and I'm just like "what, no, metal death machine!"

Thank you for doing this! Your reply to 20 year old dodie inspired me to record a message to my 28 year old self

i am so grateful that i get to grow and learn at the same time as you. i’m proud of us

It’s weird it’s been a year since the last one, I still remember watching the dear 25 year old me one as a little tot, ready to see what else is coming up in the world.

IM SO FUCKING HAPPY YOU MADE THIS!!!! MUCH LOVE FROM SWEDEN!!!!! <3<3 <3 <3 <3

Happy Birthday to 26 year old Dodie and 30 year old Dodie! < 3 thank you for the videos and music you've created. they've helped me a lot. Hi to 26 year old me! : D

I turn 27 in a couple months and I've always thought 32 would be when my life really started to get good. So now I really want to do one of these!

Girl I never knew your birthday is coming so soon!! Expect fanart, from a dear artist <3 You're so amazing!!

I am in love with the aesthetic of this video and I will wait patiently for the reaction of this one by 30 year old dodie.

The dodie dots will live on for forever :)

Well done Dodes, see everyone in 5 years!!!! 😁

Oh wow, in 5 years I won’t be a teenager anymore... that’s really weird! Life moves so fast, sometimes I wish I could just pause everything for a minute. 21 year old me, I hope you’re doing well! 💞

I just wanted to say how much of a RUSH of inspiration this video (and you obvs) have given me. Thank you.

Happy Birthday Dodie!! 🍰 I turn 26 on Tuesday so this video really hits me, I wonder what my answers to your questions will be too...

I have your book next to me. I'm taking my time reading it. It feels special, and I thank you so much.

Dodie, you always make me feel excitement for the future instead of dread! I’ll be excited to see your reaction in 5 years☺️

I'm ready for another 5 years of Dodie <3

this is gonna make me cry SO hard in 5 years

This was cool to see you record. I've seen alot of replying to videos before but never the filming of a what life like now video.
I can't wait to see how amazing your life will be in 5 years, You're so talented I have no doubt there are great things in store for you.

"Hope you're surrounded by legends. I hope you can do a pressup"

hopefully 30 yr old dodie has just the same amazing thoughts

Hi 30 year old Dodie,
I hope you are having an amazing day!
God bless you wonderful person! ✨❤️🤺

Always fun watching these kinds of videos you make. I'm exactly a day younger so we are experiencing life in tandem. Hope we both are happy healthy and content at 30. It sounds gross just saying that number, but I hope I don't fee that way when I finally arrive at that age.

Dodie, you've inspired me to also make a video to my 30 year old self. I turn 25 this year so I'm going to make it on my birthday as a gift to my future self.

this is gonna be such a nice thing to look back on, years from now

I'm ready to watch the reaction in 4 years and cry 💛

This is both comforting and scary at the same time 😂

im glad ive been here since “dear 25 year old me”. can’t wait for 30 yr old dodie to see this :) 🌻

Side note: where did you get that shirt?? I’ve been trying to build a spring wardrobe and I saw it and I was like I MUST HAVE ITTTT

This is like a time capsule but in video form and I love it! Imma leave a comment for myself so that when I come back and rewatch this once Dodie turns 30, I'll hopefully be able to find this. Hello Ingrid from 2025! I hope you're doing well and please let me know that the current me will be ok despite life being a pain at times.

i remember watching the og "dear 25 year old me" and im so excited to watch the 30 one. this makes me so nostalgic

i've said years ago when i watched her first "dear 25 year old me" that i'd love to make one for myself and now i'm 22 lmao. but srsly tho, now i rly want to make one!!! i should make one aaaaaaaaaaaah

message to dodie from the future: I'm so glad we've been through this journey together. Your fans love you and we're proud of how far you've come.

I feel like i’m pre-crying thinking about how thirty year old dodie will react but i’m really grateful to think that maybe we will get to know :)

I started doing this when I saw your first reaction video. I get to watch the first one I made when I turn 25 next year, I'm super stoked!

I have witnessed all hair and eyebrow iterations of dodie and I feel honoured and privileged. I am looking forward to what is to be 😌😌😌

okay wow so, hi me rewatching this, i know you’re crying and mby thinking wow time flies but yeah, hope you’re doing great. And in case 30 y.o. dodie sees this as well; hi i love you sweetie <33

I always love these. I'm about five years older than you (I turn 30 in November, what??!!?) and despite being different people it always feels like I'm watching back to myself five years ago. Funny, that. Time does feel a little faster, but it's just as unfathomable how much happened in five years time. People I was close with then I barely speak to now. People from high school I've picked up again as pen pals. Career changes. Moving apartments. I got a second cat! I figured out I'm queer! Still trying to write a book, still not very good at it, but that's alright. I'm less apologetic for the bits of myself and my life that I love, now, which is nice. I swear when lockdown ends I'm actually going to use the museum membership pass my mom bought me years ago.

Happy 26th! Cheers to another five <3

We share our birthday and this was honestly so nice to watch because I’m feeling very similarly towards future me.

Happy Birthday dodie! Don't worry about time changing, I know it's scary. Just enjoy life now cause you only have one! (:

YALL i hope grandad is still kicking in 2025 so she can call him 😭🥰

I was 15 watching in the first one...I was 20 watching ur response...I’ll be 25 watching your response to this... I love you and I’m growing up with you 😭

You’re making me wanna start doing this

watching the last one i was like wow its been so long i cant belive shes 20. BUT 30??? i feel like im growing up w her its so comforting see you all in 5 yrs!

i'm so happy you did it omg! i will be 23 that's crazyy but i'm so sure i will have been watching and listening to you the whole time, i just know. here's to the adventures and experiences and future us who are not in lockdown lol

[slightly] old person here to tell you that my 20's were an absolute mess - fun, albeit, but messsssyyyyy - but my 30's have been a fantastic experience. even the hard times. it just feels so good to really grow into yourself, to be more sure, to care less about odd things held onto in your 20's that now mean literally nothing. but also i was so brave and wild, and tried so many things in my 20's that i was worried i'd regret, and i regret NOTHING. even the mistakes. you're gonna be so in love with 30 dodie, i can't wait. xx

i'll be 40 in december, though my heart and like 92% of my body believes i'm still 25. (:

'Portrait of a lady on fire', is an Amazing film! I only wish Héloise had turned her head at the last minute with the tear in her eye and seen Marianne. That would have perfected in for me.

Yeaahhh.... It's your birthday today. I want you to know that you are amazing. You are creative, you are extremely musical, and most importantly, you bring joy and beauty to thousands of people all around the world. I kind of imagine that it might not be easy to be Dodie. Nevertheless, keep on doing this great thing of being you, making your videos, creating songs, harmonies, situations, and so on. In every video, we learn a bit, we get help to cope with our everyday life. Even with this pandemic. Have a happy day, Dodie.

I don't know why, but I'm breathing easier after this one <3

hadn't watched her videos in a long, long time and got all emotional when she mentioned that her favorite color is sage green now. i remember when it used to be yellow:(

i just know i’m going to cry

these videos are always so interesting to me, because you're almost exactly a year older than me.

I did one of these in the fall of 2019. Life was much more different just a few months later than I could ever have imagined. It’s gonna be so weird to watch that in 5 years

I forgot how nice dodie's videos can be to me. So nice to hear while I'm cleaning up around my room and organizing things.

i’m getting prematurely emotional for her response video 5 years from now 😭😭 i sobbed at her last one

here we go again! glad to be here at 26, imagine you in your 30s with albuns and records and shows and everything else

I was there for the last one. Excited to be here for this one. Very excited to see you react to it

Can’t wait to come back to this with you in five years and sob xx

hello 20 year old me is such a comfort video for me I love this

i'm going to be turning 20 very soon and it's so crazy and somewhat unreal... thank you for comfort in this new chapter of my life <333

Well I guess it’s time to write another letter to myself in the next few years.
I love to be in sync with Dodie. I never forget to include in those letters that Dodie inspired me all these years. ❤️

Crying right now and waiting for future me to edit this, that she's crying after watching a 30 year you ❤️ see you in five years ❤️

amazing vid as always dodes!!! Feelin so nostalgic and dramatic tho... I’m literally gonna blink and dodie’s gonna be thirty and I’ll be 23😭 that’s what happened w dear 25 y/o dodie. Time’s freakin weird folks thank u for reading my emo comment LOL😩

oh wow... if I stick around for five years to watch dodie's reaction, I will be in my late teens!

dear future me, I truly hope you're doing well. when you need help, please do not be afraid of getting help. please take care of yourself and your loved ones. remember, you - along with everyone else in this world - are all temporary. there is so much to love, to be inspired by, to create. what are your music preferences? what is the state of your mentality in? what are your favorite things? how different am I from you? how have things changed throughout the years? these are things I right now do not know... but you do. isn't that fascinating? I am working to improve myself everyday, and I just wanted to say: it is okay to be uneasy and to not know what you want to do. to not know your dreams. try your best and open doors for yourself. experience life while you still can. the hourglasses inside of us are slowly running out each day, hour, second, moment. you never know how many grains of sand is left. do what you can for others. carry on this world and make it your little bit better.

~ Younger You (2021, amidst the covid-19 pandemic)

Happy early birthday, Dodie!

it's crazy to me that in 5 years i'll almost be 25 omg also i will still be watching dodie then, i don't think i could ever stop

It's amazing seeing the evolution of Dodie and it's crazy to think that I've grown throughout the 5+ years I've watched her too. Hope to see the future me back in this comment section after seeing the response to this video in 5 years too :)

I just- I feel so special to be watching this right now. So excited to still be obsessed with your music when you’re 30. Also, I have a song suggestion that would make my life to hear you sing. The Cat Came Back!! It’s such a cute song and it screams dodie to me. ❤️

Happy birthday for Sunday Dodie!! <33

I'm at a point in my life where 5 years feels like its forever away and I'll never see the follow up to this. But then I look back and realize I've been on the internet for way longer than that. Crazy.

I’m so excited to watch you reacting to this

heres a lil message for me when i come back to this video in 5 years:

hey dude! how's life? I hope you're having a good time, cause I'm not really (lol.) It'll get better though, I'm sure. If not then, later.
I'm 19 now, you'll be 24. That's weird.

Anyway, I wish you peace and certainty before anything else, and please remember to not take your family for granted. You're doing a good job, I'm sure. Don't be too hard on yourself!

Kissies x

i was JUST thinking about making one of these as I'm turning 25 this year!!! spooky!!!

I can't, this is the series I most anticipate but also the mist heart wrenching

1) that transition at 1:37 was incredible
2) i learned to drive in an auto car first for a while and then learned on a manual car once i'd figured out the driving basics, would recommend!

1:36 That edit/cut is impressive. Also its weird to think I'm only 2 years younger, I definitely have not changed much over 4 years.

this video makes me want to cry in itself, so i can't wait to cry next time

i can’t wait to see your aesthetic in 5 years. it’s changed so much from 5 years ago!

I FEEL SO OLD IVE BEEN A FAN SINCE 2014 I love you!

Happy birthday Dodie! I love your songs

This is so surreal to watch! It makes me want to do this for my future self as well tbh. Like who is this strange person that I don't know yet but that I will be a part of?

i would love more than anything for you to play singing bowls and sing with them. it would be the most amazing experience

I love this so much omg. I can gurantee in 5 years I’m going to watch her reply and then come to back to this video so I’m gonna make my own

- Currently 17, 17th birthday was alright started off cool
- Scared of spiders and loud noises still
- My guinea pigs atm are Rolo and Toffee. They’re the iconic duo and its been those two for 2 years now.
Toffee’s almost 6, that’s insane.
- Current obsessions= Animal Crossing, Drag Race (my absolute main one), Pokémon (although less so now) lots of YouTube lol.
- Joining the gym with Izzy next week, idk if I’ll keep that up.
- Not too stressed, pretty hopeful of the future, I hope I keep that mindset.
- I don’t have many friends atm, hope that changes, that’s just the nature of going to school during COVID and having to go home between lessons.
- Not motivated to do much of anything atm, it’s kinda sad, but we’re still in lockdown. I can’t wait to leave school and start something new. And talk to new people!!
- Haven’t seen the Australian cousins since June 2019, I hope we get to meet up with them again soon.
- My brother has this amazing new friend he keeps seeing, I love her. I hope something happens between them ngl.
- I don’t have much ambition atm. I don’t really want children. I want a part time job, my stamina is so so low, I cant work all day. And I dont want the same job forever, I wanna try many different things
- I hope no one’s died. The only deaths I’ve experienced so far is of the guinea pigs and Great Gran. I’ve always had a weirdly optimistic view about death, thaf might change once I’ve properly experienced it idk.
- Haven’t thought much about that crazy relationship thing that happened last year which is good. It’s almost the one year anniversary of it.
- I plan to visit Scotland, Iceland and NYC (to see a drag show lmao) before I die. I wonder if I’ve done any of those yet.
- I hope my metabolism is still good lol
- I hope you’re still staying true to the ideal that all bodies and all faces are beautiful the way they are. Every day on social media I feel the need to conform and change myself, whiten my teeth, build up my muscles, clear up my skin.
But I don’t. Stay true to yourself. We as humans should be valued by the content of our character. I hope in 5 years you’re a kind, loyal and helpful person. And not a pretty one. That doesnt matter. You know that. Please don’t change that. xxx
- Love you. Life is weird. I hope you stay fabulous and just have fun. That’s all life is.

Happy Birthday Dodie :)

I honestly love these videos so much

Dodie, I'm 3 days younger than you and these videos always come at such a reflective time for me. I've been watching you for the past decade and it's been wonderful to see you grow and to grow and change along with you.
I love how in this video you seem so much less phased by the passing of time, and I guess I feel that too, maybe that's one of the blessings of getting older!
Happy 26th bday to you 🥳 x

Man, I remember writing letters to future mes in Animal Crossing Wild World. How time flies...

when she was reacting to her 20 year old self i was 20 which means im gonna be 25 when she reacts to this one holy shiiiiiit thats wild, ive been watching her videos since she made the dear 25 one thats so much of my life

this makes me want to write a letter to 18 year old me :)

I can’t imagine dodie being 30 oh my gosh

Can't wait to watch this with NOT OLD 30 year old Dodie <3 (I'll be 29 by then)

Happy Birthday young lady!

wowowowowow
I made one of these videos (from 17 year old me to 20 year old me) a while ago, inspired by you, and I'm SO EXCITED to reply!!!!

dodie seeing you doing these videos kinda makes it easier to acvept for me that one day i will have to grow up

It's crazy that all our cells are replaced on its entirety every 7 years. You'll be almost an entire different person. Im now in my 30s, and 20s year old me feel like another person that Im embarrased he ever existed. Whenever I talk about him I refer to him as a 3rd person. I wonder if that happens to anyone else.

Can’t wait to watch you watch this when you’re 30

It warms my heart that your list of friends is so long.

holy shit imagine watching this in five years and crying ahahah because i think i will !

Happy Birthday Dodie!!🎉🎉

God a Dodie in LA that I could run in to and watch play live often is something that would heal me after this pandemic

What made me watch this right after I entered the last year of my 20s?! Hello anxiety about turning 30 👋🏻✌🏻

Portrait of a Lady on Fire yes!! I wish I could’ve seen it in theaters, but I’ll settle for Parasite being the last film I saw at the cinema

Oh damn, I'll be doing my doctor when you'll react... So much time passed before the last one, I grew so much it's crazy 🥺😊

yes get your gallbladder out! My mum had like the same symptoms as you and it completely fixed her even though nothing showed up on tests.

Omg I share my birthday with Dodie.......
I was a bit sad because this year I won't be able to see my family. But your video really lightened my mood! Keep being amazing and kind to yourself <3

Oh love, when I tell you I didn't think there was much difference between 25 and 30, I was wrong. There is a lot that is the same. A lot that's better. A lot that's harder. If there's anything I've learned from the last 13 months, it's that a lot can change in a little time, both on a global scale and personal. Happy tears and sad, I'm looking forward to crying with 30 year old Dodie while she sees how much she's grown.

I turned 30 in January, and I wish I did a similar video!
But after thinking for a second, I did the right thing, 25 was the worst, then it got even worse (idk how that was possible) but now it's okay, I suppose.
#stillkicking

Happy Early Birthday Dodie!

You inspired me to make a video for me at 25 with the last one!

i'll be turning 20 when dodie reacts to this video and holy shit that is so wild

Writing a comment to 29 year old me who’s going back to watch this after 30 year old dodie’s video:
Hopefully you’ve finished grad school! Hopefully you live somewhere new! I hope you’re happy and can see your friends more often and have gone to another dodie concert (or 2!)

"remember to take care of all the young dodies" 🥺

"Are you just too wrinkly" 🤣 I turn 30 in December 🙏 I should do one of these for myself

Happy early birthday Dodie!

I tried adding the Dodie dots a few days ago & am almost 30. Can confirm, under eyes are aaaalmost too wrinkly 😂

"Hope you can do a press up" lol I relate, I want to get fitter!

this feels so weird. i remember watching your last one but i hadnt disvoered you yet when you filmed the very first one so it didnt really make me feel anything. but i know that ill be watching you reply to this when im 23 which seems worlds away. but also not that far. time is weird. good luck dodie! im excited to see your reply lol but dont rush it please cos im not ready to be 23 xdd.

also dods loving the new thumbnail theme ✨💗

these videos always make me cry a little

Happy birthday!! ❤️🎉

i can’t wait to be turning 26 when i’m watching 30 year old you react to this video

I’m watching this drunk, and when a haunted house ad with a goblin in a dark room popped up, I thought I forgot Dodie making an insanely realistic skit about her goblin persona

what a lovely video dodie!

you're awesome dodie

The older you get, the more beautiful you are. Remember this in 4 years :)

“i would say i’d make one for me at 30 but... i’m just not going to!”

we’ll all be back in a few years watching her react to this

Happy almost birthday dodie!

I avoid thinking about the pandemic too much and simply carry on as best I can, but Dodie saying "it's weird to think something I've mourned will come back, that doesn't usually happen" really hit me. I still haven't decided if it's best to hang on to the hope that normalcy will eventually be regained, or if I should let that idea go completely.

omfg see u all in 5 years i guess (maybe i’ll try and find this comment when you make the reaction video I WILL BE 22 EW)

You are like the ONLY person I've seen that pulls off sage green. It looks absolutely STUNNING on you <3

I cry at these videos every SINGLE TIME

can’t wait to cry at this in 5 years

I'm 18 and just realizing how different I'll be in my twenties. Looking forward to that

the one thumbs down is someone who accidentally pressed through tears of joy 🤌

Oh man
The day she will watch it in the future will be soooo weird for me, as I can't imagine that I'll still like her music but I'll never know til I come here again

I love watching videos that are to someone’s future self. If I watch this in 4 years then that means I’ll be...17??? Wow...well erm. Hi 17 year old me.

my god I’m going to be a legal adult when the second part of this comes out

30 is going to be amazing, ups and downs, and you'll love it all no matter what. yet, hate it all at the same time.

Dodie being Dodie, talking about Dodie, in a way that only Dodie can.

girl when did you get all of these tattoos I'm so proud

this video is already making me emotional gahhhhh

Excited for me to blink and suddenly be watching the reaction vid to this as if no time had passed 😂

Im sort of glad I get to spectate such a personal conversation between 2 people.
Now we wait for a response

in 5 more years, i'll be 20. :,(
i hate the feeling of becoming an adult because i never got the chance to be a kid.

some ways into your book really enjoying it , waiting on human and build a problem to release (preordered) excited to hear them on vinyl , i snagged your amazon music releases to tide me over , keep up the great work. 30 doesnt suck as bad as i thought it would , you get a certain sort of auto respect from people , its nice.

Yayyy. Happy birthday for Sunday gal! Can’t wait for tour

I’ll also be hitting a pretty big milestone in five years!! I hope my life when in 18 will be a bit better :)

When Dodie will be 30, I will be 40! Scary thought... but I feel like I'm still 25!

ohhhh i can’t wait for her to react to this later hehehe

I turned 30 during lockdown. I love that to a 26 year old 30 feels so far away. It's really not and I feel the same as I did 4 years ago. Well life is a bit more stable, I guess. I feel more comfortable being myself. And all my friends have babies. Okay I sound really old so not really making a good case here.

My 18th birthday is on Friday and watching this is making me feel so bittersweet.

It's weird because we're the same age and for me 20 to 25 went by SO FAST. I feel like I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and be 30 already.

Goddddd I can’t wait for the 30 year old dodie video, I’m honestly so excited, and scared.

5:05 I really hope Dodie will figure out the thing with her Dad even if he isn't 'Guiltless' (Stream now on Spotify ;)

ever since the other one she did i mad e one of these too for myself but im pretty hyped to see the progression!

This is such a good idea. Made me wanna do the same, but in a letter form. I'm putting this thought of doing it in the universe so that maybe I actually do it and not just put it off 😬

i love your reccomendations they are all the best (to 25 year old Dodie)

i love her so much i cant believe in the next one we will have granny dodie

okay imma write a letter to 20 year old me now bc i turn 18 in 2 months and that seems like an appropriate thing to do,,,, ✨fear✨

I can't wait to see 30 year old dodie react to this

i will be 24 when i watch the reaction to this and that makes me feel ✨ill✨

Cant wait in four years to cry to her reaction to this

by the time you respond to this one, i’ll have a grown up. my college graduation year is the one you’ll watch this in, it’ll be right before. so. thank you? yeah, thank you.

ILL BE TWENTY YEARS OLD WHEN SHE RETURNS TO THIS S T O P

The last one made me cry :')

i cannot wait for the catharsis that will come with watching dodes' response to this in five years time :')

AAAAAAA this video is so sweet and lovely oh my gooooodddddd

My birthday is also on Sunday, however I will be 29. Either way, this has inspired me to do something similar even though 30 is much closer for me.

'im reluctant to name anyone' names EVERYONE

Turned 24, two days ago. It's scary to think about how old I am now. At the same time, I'm excited to see what I do next. Is this what life is?

How did I not know that my favorite artist has the same birthday as my sister?!?! Happy early birthday!!!

Happy early birthday! 💙

Happy earlier birthday to you 🥳

'...Rosianna. Okay!' Initially heard this as '... Rosianna, now gay!' 😂

2021 Dodie: How's your body? Have you had your wisdom teeth removed or do you not have the balls yet?

2025 Dodie: has testicles and no wisdom teeth

I'll be 21 years old when dodie reacts to this...geez.

‘ur first album build a problem is out now’
....or is it

okay guys, I'm prepared for crying again in 5 years! 😢

I still remember watching the original dear 25 year old dodie when it came out

Wow your 37 and looking forward to 40! great one! doodlenoodle :D

Aw, man, I remember when you released your "Dear 25 year old Dodie" video :3

anD SHE SAID SHE WASN'T GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER "DEAR FUTURE ME" VIDEO!

Dodie has real skills that an interrogator would dream of. 😊

My god i just realized that I'll be 23 when dodie reacts to this video. Also if 23 year old me somehow finds this comment, hi! Don't forget to take care of yourself, I love you ❤💕❤

Woah, 30 seems so far away to you right now. I'm 35 and it happened so quickly! It'll surprise ya. I'm totally still 20 something in my head though :P

the thumbnail is the face i made when i saw the title in my notifications

i just know that I'll be back after 5 years and i will definitely cry.

“I love you, and I am in you” woah there dodie

i was there for “dear 25 year old dodie” and i’m here now

we share a birthday and i think that’s pretty cool. i shall be twenty. you shall be thirty. i find that simultaneously cool and a tad bit scary.

all in all, happy (early) birthday dodie !!!!

Oh my God I haven't clicked something this fast in a long time

These are my faaaaav dodie videos (other than her music ofc)

30 aint old. There's a lot to look forward to in your 30s :)

Dodie videos are the only thing reminding me of time anymore

happy birthday dodie 💜🎂🎉🎉💃

ah jeez I'm gonna be 19 when she replies to this that's just- uuahahshhaaaAAAAA

1K likes and 1 dislike - that's the best ratio I've seen in ages 😊 Crazy to think I'll be watching the response to this in 4 years (when I'm also 30) and remembering back to when I watched this video today. Wow.

I wish I could take a tiny peek into the future and see the response right away

im so ready for this one

motorbike noises "what is going on"
They always love to start when you want to film anything in London fml

can't wait to cry about this in a few years

Writing a comment for me, in 5 years from now: i hope you're okay.

can't wait to be here in five years after watching "hello 25 year old me"

Dodie looks like a disney princess in this video :)

I love how it ends on a white screen instead of black!

I started watching dodie my freshman year of high school (2016) and the ‘dear 20 year old’ came out right before I graduated, so I cried looking back at how much I had grown and how dodie was a part of that. The next part of this will be out after I’ve graduated college, can’t wait for that

the way that i'm tempted to make one of these for myself

I had a minor panic when Dodie said "I was in a video game" because I thought she meant she voice acted a character and I was freaked out that I hadn't heard about this ahead of time until I realized she meant that she was playing one. >.<

As someone who learned manual and then drove an automatic I can highly recommend not bothering with manual, automatic is so much nicer

Am I the only one who can't wait for 5 year from now? I can't wait for dodie to react to this! wow! crazy!

i'm turning 25 in a couple of days and i know how hard it will hit to watch this in 5 years. growing old is so scary. i'm very afraid of being a failure, of wasting time. but i know i don't have to. and i know i will always wish to be 5 years younger. but eventually that will stop, i will be happy and comfortable with who i am and my life. and i know to get there i have to LIVE and KEEP GOING. so i will, and so will everyone else and we will be fine guys, let's enjoy the last of our 20's and try not to put so much pressure on ourselves.

Its odd to realize ill be watching part 2 to this video when I graduate from high school.

Oh god

I’ve been waiting for this 😭

This year on my birthday I'll get an email from my 18 year old self! I'm so excited!

I can see 30 year old Dodie struggling to keep up with all the questions and pausing constantly. Must be a struggle when you're ancient

This video is beautiful.

already preparing for the tears I’m going to cry when you come back to this in 5 years. also?? would it not be 2026?? or is that my maths gone wrong too

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY DODS

If dodie can see the comments hi 30 yr dodie your doing great i can read time i know that

cabbage

Fun fact: dodie and my dog share a birthday

I forgot what his birthday was and I looked up dodie’s birthday

He’s turning 12!!!

I felt like as soon as I turned 30 time started disappearing before my eyes. Also please don't talk about 2030 because I'll be turning 40 that year haha

i'm 21 and nowhere close to going on 30 why am i getting the feels

“I love you and... I’m in you”
This is true but sounds like it shouldn’t be 😂

One of the charming things about you is how expressive your face is when you talk and sing.

”It’s weird to think that something I’ve mourned will come back”
TOTALLY. I feel like we’re so used to this way of life now, it’s like we’ve come to accept that this is the way things are now - and when the old normal comes back it’ll be so strange to see if we can fall back into it easily????

Anyways, I wasn’t here when dodie recorded her video to her 25 year old self; but I know I’ll be here for 30. I will be the grand old age of 21. Madness.

why am I like emotional at this? brb crying.. It just feels so nostalgic 🥺

Happy Birthday Dodie

Every year I'm like "wow our birthdays are so close" because I literally have no concept of time and no recollection of dates (my bday is Friday and I'll be 26 as well lfg)

Happy almost birthday!! ((:

oh i can't wait to see where you are in 5 years :')

I didn’t think I was gonna have an existential crisis about time but here we are 🤷‍♀️

oh my GOD i cannot wait for her response five years from now

Hello 30 year old Dodie, bet you’re sobbing right now :))

1:36 alr can we just appreciate this transition WOW

I reckon current dodie's humour and personality could get anyone through a crisis, and no doubt has! 30-year-old dodie will only be better in that regard. 😎

Happy birthdayyyyy🎉🥳🌈🌺💕✨

She actually did it, The Mad Las did it!!!

I'll be 19 turning 20 when she reacts to this holy crap

ill be 25 in 5 years,, that's insane to think that I've been watching your videos since your dear 25-year-old me video ouch ouch

I just turned 30 a few weeks ago... I moved to LA not long after turning 26. I felt this burst of reflective feelings after watching this vid, so don't mind me.. The last 5 years had the hardest losses and the largest gains in understanding about quality of life. I think you'll have a better time than I did, entering a wounded but healing country. You'll continue to take on that new difficult thing as the newest, most difficult thing... You go on living through it all, and it's just a lovely mess of awful and beautiful. You'll begin to appreciate the hard times more than resent or depress them. You begin to be more grateful and graceful than you've been before. This is a very different world than it was. Age 25-30 has been monumental. 30 doesn't feel real still, but it often feels about right.

I'm 38 on Sunday. Happy Birthday us! :) x

i'll be 25 when when dear 30 year old me reaction comes out and i can't even BELIEVE that 25 is a real age for me. how. what.

I am 22 and in my head, I am already older. I recently met some new people and I accidentally said I am 23. 25 feels so close and yet so, so far considering I only just started my adult job last year, graduated with my Bachelors last year and will graduate with my Master's soon. So I will only really start feeling time has changed when I am no longer in the education system (only 2 months more, makes me sick to think about it tbh)

this honestly sounds like a poem

Oh god you reminded me to pull my wisdom teeth. I have fewer years left to grow the balls to do that.

How are you so good at generating hype for a video that won't come out for FIVE YEARS

In 5 years I'll be 20 and that's wild, I remember watching the other videos when I was like 13 ish this whole thing is wild, time is stupid haha

Whoa I’m so excited this is happening but I’m also nervous😂😂

Ur voice is so therapeutic I CANT-

Ahh so excited to see the response in five years

i am very happy this is happening

I cried during this entire video and idk whyy

i feel anxious watching this because that five years will be zooming. but its cool, goosebumpy

I am already counting the minutes to your birthday. I'll be celebrating by myself, 'cause I care about you and nobody will be with me for this celebration. Btw, today it is your 9494th day on the face of the Earth. Did you know that? Sometimes I wonder if your dodiedots have a secret meaning. Probably yes, but you don't have to tell us if you don't feel like it.

I’m 30. I forget what a wee bairn she is; she’s so accomplished 😌

It's so cool how willing you are to talk about the past and the future (especially because if ur anxiety/dpdr combo is anything like mine that shit is TERRIFYING) because it makes me feel comfy with where I'm at, like yes I'm terrified to turn eighteen and be a LeGaL aDuLt yes I feel AWFUL because I can't drive and I've never had a job and I feel SO BEHIND yes I'm probably being stupid and nothing will actually change and it'll all be fine yes I'll probably cringe at myself for being scared later but IT'S OKAY because someday I will be a beautiful woman like you and that will be wonderful.

wow i seriously can’t believe you’re already doing a dear 30 year old dodie video :’) I started watching your videos in 6th grade and now i’m currently attending my first year of college ! life really flies by. thanks for being here through the ups and downs. love you dodes <3

I'd already forgotten about people getting in trouble for having masks at the start of the pandemic because of panic buying lol

I can't wait for dodie's response in 4 or 5 years

the fact that i will be 23 when she reacts to this scares me

WOW THIS IS GONNA BE EMOTIONAL

so you're saying i have to wait like, four more years to cry about life again and have a breakdown with 30 year old dodie

We have the same birthday, so happy early birthday to both of us!!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

I am so excited for these answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DODIE! 💜💖⭐💖💜⭐☉💜💜💖☉💜

i lovee your sense of humor

i’ll be 20 when i watch the response to this video and thats absolutely terrifying.

can't wait to rewatch this when i'm 21 and sob lmao o

i remember watching the dear 25 year old me like it was yesterday omg,,,

I kinda wanna do one of these for my 35 year old self to watch [ CRINGES AT THE THOUGHT OF BEING ON YOUTUBE AT 35 ]

I share a birthday with such a cool human 🎂🖤 it’s crazy to think about how the pandemic has impacted my view on aging. I feel like I’m just in my house rotting away getting old and weary it’s a very vain thing to think but yeah our youth is being wasted :(

when I'll be watching the response to this I'll be 26 this is so unreal

can’t wait to come back here in several years and be sad 🥲

see you all in 5 years, i’ll be 24 - this feels strange

I strapped in for the riiiide! Can't wait to watch you respond to this in 5 years omg. What if YouTube isn't that big of a deal by then anymore? And then when you 30th birthday comes up, you blow the dirt off of this account to react to this video hahahah

when she reacts to this video i’ll be done with college. what. dodie i can’t do this rn

this is gonna be in my recommendations in 5 years and im gonna sob

i feel like this is gonna make me cry. not a bad thing. i just cry a l o t

i love this video so much

I made one of these for 20 year old me because I’m 15 right now 😌

Next time I watch this, I will probably cry

why did this make me tear up

if 30 years old dodie's seeing this
Hi! take care!

Hi 30 year old dodie!!! Hope you’re well

I just watched dear 25 year old Dodie was sad that she didn't do this video. So this is lovely!

I love dodie! siiiiing for us on your birthday pls

a few weeks ago i read a diary entry that i wrote when i was 14, it was all about how i didn’t want to grow up and i want to be stuck at 18. Now that i’m 20, i am so excited to grow up. the fact that my fears have changed into appreciating how time moves forward gives me so much hope. when i was 17, life was great. now that i’m 20, life is also great but in a different way. i’m looking forward to when i’m 25, 30, 35, and seeing what other things will make me happy later :)

i'll be 20 by the time 30 years old dodie sees this holy shit





I'm not ready yet

You inspired me to write a letter this year to myself in 5 years time. Turning 30 this year gave me a few grey hairs but I’m blaming lockdown not age :p

Truly the weirdest thing about this uhh ?series? (I guess I can call it a series) is that I am 5 years younger than dodie, so I always feel like I'm looking into my future. I watched 20yo dodie's video when I was 15 and saw her as sooo much more grown up than me at the time, and now I'm 20 and I cannot believe how young I feel in my own body, and I can laugh at how dodie reacted to her younger self because it feels something like self-awareness (the gentle good kind). This is really weird...

Omg screaming because I was the one who told you to run and slide in the mall... I feel like I just made history 👀👀

the fact that there will be a reaction video to this but it just doesn’t exist yet is not processing in my mind I AM WITNESSING HISTORY AND IT HURTS MY HEAD

how is it already almost a year of you responding to 20 yr old you wow I'm going to blink and you're going to be responding to 25 yr old you

I’ll be 21 when we all come back to this 😃 wtf

I hope you find the one, it’s getting rare, but it is the best feeling being absolutely smitten.

ahhh in a blink of an eye 30 year old dodie will be watching 25 year old dodie I’ll be coming back to this video as 21 year old me :)

uhh i'd just like to say hi future me also, who i hope watches this video in the future too :) i hope you're happy and safe and well!!

im gonna be so sad when i rewatch this years later

This would make a great topic for a song, with the response also making another great possible song.

I was literally watching the dear 25 year old me video yesterday!!!!

can't wait to look back on this vid,, as you're getting older i am too T___T

not me being inspired to make a video like this and then realizing for me it's only TWO years away and now i'm having a crisis. oops

I'm already crying.. the time capsule has just begun and I'm already crying. 😭

off topic but I have seen SO many dodie hairstyles and I think that your hair looks the best here I've ever seen it. so long but so much volume but zero frizz???? incredible

omg no i will cry watching this in 5 years

Well, glad I got to see this 77 days later than intended and now I'm off to wonder about the answers to all those questions. I think that by 2025 or later I might come up with something. Yes, I can drive a car, though. In fact, drove one into a tree just last year and another into another car just a few months ago. I am an auto insurance scam artist's dream. Happy belated birthday and I will go sulk now.

In five years.... I will be 22 holy shit well! I hope I come back in five years too lol

Hello current me I’ll see you in a few years :D
Maybe I’ll make one of these teehee

Yeah okay Dodes, back off, listing all your cool friends. My list isn't even an eighth that long! ;D

I CRIED SO HARD

Uhhh excited for the next five years lol 🌟

42 year old me to all you youngsters, time gets real fast, but having children slows it back down again. Then you find yourself living for them and less about yourself all the time.

Nah, the thought that I met you at sitc when I was 16 (around the age of your 'dear 25 year old me' video) and now you're talking to your 30 year old self while I'm 21...I'm just 5 years behind you, MAD

See you guys in five years :))

I watched that video and my phone lay on - from the looks of it - exactly the same couch with exactly the same blanket on it. Couchception :D

happy birthday to dodie on sunday

These questions r soo good!

can't believe it's been 5 years since her last dear 25yrold dodie.. omggg

ur so grown up isn’t it’s odd because i am nineteen and i am saying ur so grown up but u just have grown !!! like mature is the wrong word but you have a calmer vibe
idk u seem more peaceful
or maybe that’s what ur letting us see
oop
hope ur well

"i wonder who you love, i wonder who you miss" FUCKIBG HELL DODIE OWWWW

cant wait to come back here age 21 and cry lol

Holy moly when dodie replies to this I'm going to be a young adult 18!!! AHH!!! Oml this is making me feel weird can't wait 😌 to see my comment from four years ago 👌

If you ever stop making videos I pray you come back to react to this video as a finale🥺

i'm leaving this comment here for 24 year old me to find when i come back to this video after 30 year old dodie posts a response

I just turned 23 yesterday and I've been having a crisis because 20 is young and 21 is basically 20 and taylor swift made 22 seem young but 23 is O L D

why do I feel like crying watching this? IM NOT OK LOL

I'm getting flashbacks to "dear 25 year old dodie"

uh oh it’s 5 years away but i already feel tears

I can't wait to see the video in 4 years

HAPPY [BELATED] BIRTHDAY DODIE :D !!!!!

remember this comment in 4 years AKXCJSNX LMAO

I dropped everything for this

this is history in the making

30 year old dodie... I hope u are well... Just wanted to tell u that 25 year old dodie was lit af.
24 year old fruit dude would find it awesome if dodie would have made a sick song out of a melody that 14 year old fruit dude made in 2011... Who knows... I'll send 26 year old dodie a file some day... Would be sick...

we share the same birthday:) i turn 19 on sunday AAAA! i wrote a letter to my 20 year old self last year and my GOD i want to read it but i am not 20 quite yet

can wait to watch the next video when im 20 😅

lol im commenting here for my future self when I come back and watch this in 5 years. hey girl! lmaoo

I predict older Dodie rolling her eyes at young Dodie for calling her an old lady!

i did not expect to tear up

Talking about friends naming like 20 people that was a flex haha

here’s another letter to myself: i’ll be 24 when i come back and read this! the way i type online is probably so weird to you now; i can’t even look at my old texts without cringing lol. how’s your life going? last time i wrote this i thought i’d be in a completely different career route than what i’m doing right now, have you given up on being a nurse yet? i doubt i have, but rlly i want to know what else you’ve discovered besides nursing...how’s the relationship with music...? i can feel myself drifting away because lately life has been squishing me down in a pressurized tupperware. but it’s alright; people like dodie remind me of joy and passion in such a raw, untouched form. As long as people like her exist i don’t think music will become a faint memory anytime...how’s your health? how’s your family? any new additions? any new Erikson stages you’ve entered hahaha, to be honest i can’t wait to meet you. but i will, and i’ll take care of younger melanie in the mean time :)

happy birthday for friday, my wrinkly 32 year old face disliked this video though. i love thursdays!

"anyone sleeping in it with you" subtle dodie, very subtle

I hope I watch this again in 5 years

I really hope I’m still here when you respond😊

I'll be 42 when I watch the sequel to this.

And I just made my dear 25 year old self a couple weeks ago 👀

30 year old dodie - write the songs you like. love the ones you like. but please, please not - don't cut your hairs short.

Putting a comment upon a historical wholesomeness. I'll be back in 5 years.

Aaah I wonder what I’ll be like in five years time I’m terrified

PORTRAIIIT OF A LADY ON FIREEE YES YES YES YES YES YESSSS a cinematic master piece

Fuck we share the same Birthday, that made me smile today

It's crazy how 25 years old Dodie is asking all those questions to a person who does not exist yet, and when she will exist, she won't be able to answer, but she won't need to, because she will know the answers already.

can’t wait for 4 years

happy almost birthday
may 7th is too long to wait for the next album

OH BOY TIME IS GOING FAST

U INSPIRED ME THANK U AHHHHHHHHHHHHBBBB DAMMMMMMMM

Your video last year inspired 15 year old me to write a letter to 20 year old me. Can’t wait to read that!!! 😬

i just had the sudden realization that ive been following dodie since she was like 20?? and now she's 26??!!? and ill probably keep watching her grow up till she's 30????@?!!!?&^%\?

dodie and my birthdays are two ish weeks apart so Ill be (turning) 20 when shes (turning) 30. I guess Im young. but fuck will it be weird to be the age she was when dear 25 year old me came out. I think I can wait. yah I can wait.

Holy shit I'm emotional now

SHE DID IT

Four years dissolved in to thin air
But back then what did I expect
The tenuous grasp we held on each other
A feeble hold on the past

And I'm afraid, that I'm not where I thought I'd be
Afraid I didn't chase my dreams
And I'm afraid I scaled back what I want to see
Afraid I never had the faith to just believe

It feels like a subtle strangulation
It feels like a creeping desperation
Another day older
Another day to say "what might have been?"

Ten years dissolves into thin air
We thought we held it in our grasp
Ten years can be a long slow burn
Ten years can rocket by so fast

I KNEW IT SHE WAS GUNNA DO IT AGAIN

Wow doddie, you look so young for some one who is 30. You like 25!

te amo con todo mi corazón

Dodieee I'll be your age now when you react to this don't do this to me

You are really 30+?
Sometimes you look so young, sometimes chubby, and sometimes unpredictable.

here’s to another 5 years :]

when dodie turns 30 i'm gonna be 21, fear

did a dear 25 year old me 6 months ago... pretty sure i asked if i'm friends with dodie yet... dodie just asked what new friends she has to 30 year old her... MEEE!! obvs!

Setting my alarm for 5 yrs time for the crying video responding

dodie and I are almost exactly 10 years apart. She was born on April 11, 1995 and I was born on May 1, 2005. I'm 15, about to turn 16 and she's 25, about to turn 26. I just made my "dear 20 year old me" while she's making her "dear 30 year old me," so it feels kind of odd? It's like I'm watching older me which is like time travel, and it's so... cool.

it’s that time of the year again :)

I hope i can see your reaction to this video 🥺

i'm pretty sure this video actually gave me vertigo xxx

no because im gonna come back to this and cry in 5 years

When I watch the reply to this, I'll be a couple of weeks off turning 38 😬 fuck. I wonder if I'll actually have kids by then? I'm also a few months off making a huge move abroad, I wonder how that will have gone?

Once you pass 30...5 years feels like nothing.

I feel like I watched the response to your 25 one, blinked and then ended up here

i’ll be 20 when she reacts to this AAA

OMG WE'RE DOING THAT!

i think it's agreed we all want to do this

it freaks me out to think I'll be 20 by the time 30 year old dodie replies

me watching this knowing ill be 21 when the next one comes out

i cant wait for the next 4 yearsss 😭😭😭

This is profound.

Everyone now setting our timers for four years from now

when me and dodie have the same birthday :)
when dodie is 30 im gonna be 19 lol

This video kinda puts me in an existential crisis 😳

As someone who will be thirty on my next birthday I feel slightly offended by all the shade. Lol!

I cannot wait for this 4 yea4 to go!!!

i feel like i just watched you react to hello 25 year old dodie 🤭

This is very strange to me because you(dodie) and I share a birthday. And this April 11, 2021 I am turning 30. So. Weird haha. Happy Birthday, birthday twin!

Why am I crying this much

Dear 26 years old me: Shit, 26! Thats kind of old, hope you are fine. Hope you feel healthy and happy and chaotic in a nice way. How is your life? How do you feel? Are you still living in the flat? Hope hou found a nice new roomate... Are you still vegan? Maybe you ate frensh cheese because you couldn't resist...How was france? Did you go there together with your current girlfriend?
I feel quite settled at the moment and glad about my friends and family! I ate a bowl of quinoa and will learn sign in a minute. Did you finish your sign class?
Currently I love playing Depreston and Oh my love on the guitar. What do you play? Do you still work in the vinyl store? The vinyl strore is the closest thing to home right now. Without sea tho...
Bis Baldrian and see you, N

I can tell you from the wise old age of 40 that when you turn 30 it feels as if you’re strapped into a roller coaster and are shot straight through life at speeds so fast you can barely see it flying past you in the periphery.

Inb4 I come back to this comment in 5 years. Currently having a cuddle with Moose and about to stay up all night for work.

Hyped to see hologram dodie react to this

She's currently cracking time travel

Why am I crying while I watch this?

Happy birthday

This is especially personal because I will also hit 30 the DAY Dodie hits 30. Phew. Stop aging, future old me, I beg you

Why am i crying 5 years from now?

this is so amazing but also in five years i will legally be an adult uh oh
if that me is reading this what's up? also sorry lol

hahaha oh my god the thumbnail face made me lol

So, when you get to thirty-five or thirty, you will find that any answers you thought were coming from a random poster was in fact you speaking from the future. Most of my friends became very weird, but I didn't notice because I just adapted to the increased weirdness of it all. I decided in 2024 to try driving a manual again, but it was because I did the splits and it didn't work out so well being as old as I was. I had to steal a car to get to the hospital. I unfortunately did not steal an automatic.

Hello 21 year old me coming back to watch this

can we just talk about that transition?! 1:35

The ending felt a little Doctor Who like talking to a different you after regeneration.

ok, but why did this made me cry?

I’m excited to see where we all go. Also hi future sevvi (me),

Viewers just bought in on a solid investment for a really satisfying cry 5 years from now

“do you have a cat yet?” ENTER MRS

what’s terrifying is when dodie is 30 i’ll be 20, hopefully i can come back to this vid and find this comment, so hi 20 year old me, i one hope your still alive because i’m not sure i’ll make it to 20, i hope you were able to figure things out and heal, i hope you feel loved, i really really really hope that you found a career your gonna be obsessed with and are really good at and i hope u had a glow up because i’m gross at the moment, i love you - your 16 year old self 😏

i just realized this, but when dodie turns 30, and maybe comes back to this video or maybe doesnt, i will be 20. and maybe i will come back to this video, and maybe i won’t. weird.

Ive been watching you since before you turned 20 jesus christ

Why am i holding back SOBS rn oh ma lord

Hello 28 year old me if you decide to come back and watch this in 5 years!

i just... dodie this is so insane because i only became a fan a few years ago and i never got to watch the dear 25 year old me video as it happened and i'm like watching the new one now and i just can't believe it like when i eventually get my sister into your music she's gonna see you make a response and i'm really gonna be able to say i was there fjdcndjcdknc??

Casually saves it in a notepad i have of things to check 4 years from now

IM SO HYPED

imma have a birthday party for you!!! imma make cake me thinks

Bro I'm gonna be 21 when she answers this 😭

Wait stop I’ve been watching you since 2014 this is so weird. 30 YEAR OLD DODIE???????

my brain saw the vid and went "I THOUGHT SHE SAID SHE WASN'T DOIN--- yknow what not complainin"

damn, i'll be a full on adult in 5 years

The idea of you moving to LA is so exciting!

I have homework and a test today but thirty year old dodie is more important obviously

ay im (almost) on time to a doodle vloggle :) lucky ducky me

1:37 POG EDITING MOMENT

i'mmmm OBSESSED with your dress, where do you get it?

can’t wait to have a mental breakdown in five years

OMG IM SO EXCITED

im gonna be 20 when it comes out wowww

"know that I love you" <3

hi me 5 years from now. you’ll be like 19, i hope you see this and have a good day, don’t forget me ok?- me 14 years old

❤️❤️❤️

Yess I wasn’t there to see the first future me so I’m pumpedd

That beautiful, feathery eyelashes tho... What mascara did u use dodie???

Your so beutiful ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

when you'll watch this i'll be 21, wooow exciting

HEY 30 YEAR OLD DODIE!

0:27 Do you have the sentence I suggested in your background!?!!? 'I ROBBED A PLUM!' If so, THANK YOU! Love you <3

wtf I feel like I just watched last year's birthday video. Where has the time gone?

sunday?? as in 11th?? That's my birthday too!!💜💜

oh i see me crying in your 30's

happy birthdayyy

you share a birthday with my mum :)

The fact that I’m still be here is wild

Wait if its five years from 2021, doesnt that mean the actual year to check in is 2026?

Oh my god how has it been a year already holy fuck

awwww dodieeee

I don't know why but I'm crying

Please consider covering Love Everybodys gotta live

when i watch this in 5 years i'll be 25 wowie

30 YEAR OLD DODIE?!! Madness. So weird to think about.

I'll be 30 in less than 8 weeks & lost my gallbladder at 28! 🤦‍♀️

dear 27 year old me. I hope u come back and find this comment 💚

now this is gonna be wild lol

Omg I'm gonna do a dear 30 year old me video too

your birthday is a week n two days after mine 🥺 love u

maybe in 2025 there will be a time machine created so they can come back to 2021 so that we can go to 2025 so that we can see the 30 reacting to 25 video sooner? please? the 20 to 25 anticipation was just too much for me

"im reluctant to name anyone" names everyone

So much to think about here....like, do I do a "Dear 68-year old me" vlog?

Damn ill be 20 when i watch the update

I just realised I will have graduated by the time she responds to this :0

I remember when you did the one when you were 20

Everyone who was 13 when 13 Going On 30 first came out is now 30.

It is a universal truth that 25 year olds think 30 is old, but 40 year olds think 30 is just so very young.

....when everything went wrong you could still consider taking a trip to a 'rural track 2 3/4'....I could recommend!, as it is/helps grounding and is a 'travel' to nature ;-)....however even somewhat scary at the same time, not only for real 'big city rats' ;-(

im shook how does her last b day seem like yesterday

You released this a day before my 30th birthday. Hope this isn't gonna call me out. :P

DODDLEVLOGGLE RETURNS

22 year old me how much did you cry 🎤

I hope YouTube is still around for me to see the 30th bday video

💖💖💖

this is crazy that the reply was a year ago! also hello 18 year old Ellie u better come back to this video after watching the next reply <3

I clicked on this video SO FAST!

i actually don't have a brain she said the album has been out a while and i was like "omg i didn't realise" and went to spotify to listen????????

This is so scary and i hate it and i cannot even imagine 5 years in the future nope nope nope and its going so quickly like the last year in a flash and it makes me feel so gross and how life is on fastforward like im in the sims and i cant cope ahhhhh
How its been nearly a year since reacting to dear 20 year old me fucks me up man
And the fact that i’ve been around all this time since dear 20 year old me and before that and im still here and now 22 and terrified of everything but also really want to go back. I’ll probably read this comment in the future so the only thing i really want next time i see it is to have bought a flat, if i have a girlfriend that would be a nice bonus but i doubt it lol im so scared i hate thinking about the future

happy belated birthday! so you are still going to move to LA?

Its funny hearing you say my name (sage) even though I know you are just talking about the color loll

cant wait for us in 5 years.

Excuse me while I SOB bc I can’t grasp that you will age and when I watch the reply to this video, I will be 21.

Commenting so I can see this in 5 years
Cant wait for the future

Dear 27 yo myself, pls dimmi che non hai rimpianti e che ti stai godendo la vita

it’s two in the morning i’m going to cry

💕

Successfully baked Banana brick!" XD

17/18 year old me, are you crying? 🥲

Musical genius

🖤

Hello 30 year old Dodie and 22 year old amber :,)

AHH IN 5 YEARS ILL HAVE GRADUATED
O H N O

omggg i cant wait for 30👁👁👁

this is irrelevant but the lighting is really nice lol

The response will be insane

i hope when you ask how the planet is 30 year old you doesn’t look at the camera and nervously laugh just think oh how the rona was only the beginning ahh

see you in five years!

I still havent recovered from the 25 year reaction video

oh my god i love you

one of my friend's mum's birthday is also on sunday lol

Keep forgetting I'm the same age as dodie!

it’s weird to think that somewhere there is a dodie answering these questions already. i don’t like that thought

She’s so critical of herself

absolutely devastated that I didn’t get a mention but I’ll forgive u as I was so prominent in the lockdown 1 videos x

dodie forgot to ask 30 year old dodie if she still watches la la land. :(

just gotta wait 5 years now 😯

2025 doesn't feel so far away but 2015 feels so long ago

What if instead this was watched by 20 year old Dodie

JFJJDJFJDKFJSKFHKSD i literally wrote a dear 16 year old me this morning in my notes app lmao-

one more to the series B)

A THRILLING SEQUAL (trilogy?)

I live in LA now, just watch Blade Runner to see your future. It's LA LA Land basically.

lollllllll the way i watched the last one when u first uploaded it AGH we are all time travellers but it just takes......... a while

“I am in you”

if you're here from 30 year old dodie please say hi :)

Why are you doing this to yourself Dodie LMAO

oh DEAR DODIE

I'm turning 26 on Sunday too!!!!

The existential crisis I was already having DID NOT NEED THIS. But we liked it anyway...

wait did i get this right, are you not as spaced out as you used to be? Or do you mean it doesn't bother you as much anymore since you've gotten used to it?

happy thursday #4💕

I'll be waiting for the response vid.

HI 27 year old me!!!

if you are back here! How was Dodies reaction? How are you?? I think when i was younger 27 felt so big to me, as if i would be married with kids HA I dont think so anymore.. ARE you married? hmm its unlikely but if you are, hey husband :)

Okay important things..
Hows your health, mental, physical? Your headspace is..still weird right now, in a way that its confusing to know if it will ever go away. Your physical health is pretty great, you are trying to do better to look after you. How's your weight, I wonder if u ever lowkey got abs again?

Hows mum and dad, happy and healthy I hope :) They know u love them. How K..HE'll be 20 aaaah I hope you are still close. Its so difficult to write this because you are in a mental space that is so afraid of the future. How is the job? Are you at the place where u want to be spiritually?

How much do you cringe about the things I like now and who I am? I feel like a lot of the things you are attached to are a coping mechanism right now..but I havent really changed in 22 years its hard to think that 5 more will make a difference

Did you apologise to the friends you wanted to? Did you make more friends?hows R, FF, T,C..right now its like my life and choices and relationships are at a standstill in this pandemic and you are still working through so many internal branches, picking off unwanted leaves, hoping to become a stronger, more wonderful tree to protect and shade those around you.

Anyway its scary to say anymore publicly on here but i hope you find this again..whatever has happened, i love you :)

Omg I’ll legit be 20

hello 21 year old me <3

hi dodie from the future

Welcome to team 26 ^^

In 5 years I’ll be 21, ew no please

this cannot be happening pls why does time pass

wait i swear you turned 25 a month ago what is time

dodie has so many friends. i’m not surprised. i’m just lonely.

I want to know the answer to these questions now, but i'm 5 years too early

in five years I'll be 22 woah

Come to Australia and we can teach you drive a manual. Get a friend to drive you out into the country somewhere a long way from anyone. Then drive around until you figure it out. Chance of hitting anyone/thing…. Low.. Enjoy the chance to scream out loud with no one except your long suffering friend who thinks they are teaching you, able to hear. Kangaroos can hop out of the way. Cops will laugh and wave you on. Just try to stay in a straight line as you figure out the gears.
Anyone can learn to drive a manual in Australia.. However the shitter you are to start with, the further into the Outback we recommend you go…
Then the 30 year old You can have a Dodiemobile

I just witnessed history

please fast forward 4 years

(also me coming back to this comment in 2025 ranting why I wished for that, wanting to rewind)
