Lele well being in the LGBTQ community doesnt infer that if u were in dat group, you so should be obliged to be accepting. Everyone should accept everyone, regardless of the age,gender,beliefs.
+Nevirr Ranch i know everyone should be accepting but she doesn't seem to have heteronormative views the way most would and doesn't assume her sister to be straight
Lauren Power you should assume that someone is Straight until told otherwise. This is because the vast majority of people are straight . That's the whole point of ' coming out '
+Hakem Yasin but why should you? When I have kids I won't assume until I'm told their sexuality which could make it much less difficult to come out. The majority are somewhere imbetween
Lauren Power NO the majority are straight and that's a fact . You have to assume they're straight because it'll make every sentence talking about them longer. There isn't a need for that . You can tell them you don't mind if they are indeed Gay but you have to assume they arnt .
+Hakem Yasin people can say they wouldn't mind but it still hurts constantly hearing "who is he" when you refuse to say who your crush is. I feel like you don't really understand how it feels. It isn't even that difficult to just use gender neutral pronouns when talking about crushes etc. There have been studies claiming all women are turned on when shown both men and women, even those who claim to be straight. It's much more likely everyone is somewhere imbetween than just gay, straight, or bi and the amount of depressed/suicidal teens because of their sexuality could be decreased if people didn't make assumptions.
By assuming their sexuality, it feels like you are doubting them, or putting them into a box made by goodness knows who, and the more you doubt people, the more they start doubting themselves, and sometimes as it builds up inside you, you become so unsure of who you are, that you feel you are no one. So by assuming people are straight, it can really throw them off, and make them feel like they should be something that not all of the time they are.
Abdihakem Ahmed coming out should be abolished. ik your comment was 3 years ago and your views may have changed but like why don’t we just not assume anyone’s sexuality until we get told by them😌
"Have we made any new songs or gone on more tours yet? Do we still have an audience. Omg does no one care about us anymore? Have you met Demi Lavato!?!?! If not get on it cause we getting old. Are we dead???"
Lol she hops al over place an love it. Can't wait fir her response video
I think I started watching dodie around the time of your original comment. We’re about 7 months away now and I’m seeing her concert in NYC in a couple days
Oh Dodie, I am old, very old,, in fact you might say "an auld phart",, My lovely daughter Chloe is a fan of yours and introduced me to you and your music earlier this year, (my favorite is Rusty and yourself singing Novels)
Let me tell you and ALL YOU PEOPLE that read your posts, you are all at a very special and wonderful time of your lives, the biggest problem a lot of you have is the way you view your lives, speaking from experience, with the luxury of looking a long way back, you need to grasp these years. when you look back at the years you tend to rose colour the past, and this can cause you to miss this moment, the here and now.
As for you lil Miss Dodie, a lot of your followers would give anything to have your talent, your popularity, but by missing the past, you are missing the now, and fearing the future certainly won't bring you peace of mind, you need to relax and allow yourself to enjoy your life as you are living it. believe me when you are 25 you will miss when you where 20 etc etc, although when you are living it, you feel that you aren't completely enjoying being 20. These thought patterns will follow you all through your life if you don't work on changing the way you think now. It really is just a state of mind.
Now I know that because I am old, all you may be hearing is blah blah blah, but trust my experience, I have missed the past all of my life, and it has done more bad than good, although reminiscing can good.. if not being used to judge the past against the present
Live for the moment, enjoy the moment..
Dodie, keep on entertaining the multitudes because you do give happiness and a feeling of belonging to hundreds of thousands of people, young and old around the world. You are in a very special position, take the credit for it, understand the good you do, and be very very proud, and in turn happy x
Darren Mac Thank you so much! I am currently 20, and I feel so sad because my teenage years were very boring and uneventful, and everyone tells me these are supposedly “the best years of one’s life”.
I feel like I have missed my life. I’m only now beginning to feel like it has a meaning, and I’m afraid it’s already too late because I haven’t accomplished anything at 20, contrarly to Dodie.
Your comment gives me hope for the present and the future. I know it’s been four years already, but I hope you and your daughter are doing well.
Watching this video now that Dodie is ACTUALLY 25 is so weird because i know a lot of the answers to these questions, but little 20 year old dodie doesn’t and it’s freaky
2 months until 25 year old dodie emerges!! I just want to say how proud I am of you and how much you've grown as a person with your music and how much I love your personality. YOU GOT THIS DODIE <3
I just watched the response video to this one and I am so emotional for some unknown reason. It was so beautiful hearing you talk to yourself. All the things you said to 20 year old you. I love how excited you were to tell her all the amazing things you've done. I hope she's proud of who you've become Thank you Dodie. Love you
I’m going to cry. I am crying. This is so hopeful. This is so powerful. I love her. Man. Dodie you’re such an important role model and I’m so grateful you’re a part of all of our lives.
This makes me want to make my own "Dear Future Me" video. I'm not a youtuber but maybe I can start with something like this. Shit in 5 years I'll be 22. Wow.
dodie turned 25 today, im so excited to see her response to this and ahh shes grown so much and so much has happened im so proud and happy for her!! love u dodie if u ever see this :)
Dear 20 year old dodie, I can't speak for 25 year old dodie, but I can tell you that she has more subscribers now, is still making music, is absolutely lovable, and hopefully will look back on you and smile! We love you and we still love you; we always will! :) <3 Happy 25th birthday dodie! :) <3
I just love going through the comment section on dodies videos. She has the best fans in the world! You guys are such an amazing community!!! Love youuuu
jesusoup god that made me think. I remember being 9 and seeing the 11-13 year old girls and admiring them. Thinking “being old looks so cool. I wanna go to the mall and wear lipgloss and be pretty like them”. Oh how I wish I could go back.
This video makes me emotional bc this was the year I found Dodie's channel and it was a really shit year for me. Dodie if you're coming back to watch this video soon I just want you to know that you have been a major inspiration to me, and your videos got me through one of the toughest years of my life. I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished and I hope you don't get too sad watching this again because I know I'd get sad talking to 2015 me lol
Happy birthday, Dodie! You are 25 now and you are splendid! Hope you have a good time watching this video and realizing all the good stuff that happened to you through this years! Xoxo
This has just been recommended to me again and I’m honestly excited to see the response video. It’s crazy to see how much Dodie’s achieved over the years.
watching this knowing dodie will be watching in just over three months... i hope she is satisfied with what she’s achieved because what she has at her age is amazing i adore her
Wow I saw this the day you uploaded it... and coming back after you responded to this vid is SO NOSTALGIC! No offense but I feel like I really related to how you felt when I was your age or when I was 16 and started watching you. Im 20 and am inspired to film a video like this for when I am 25 as well... Dodie you helped me through so much! I’m still in a struggling state but you give me hope ❤️ Thank You for this!
A) I can't wait for the reaction video coming soon (maybe, I don't put any expectations on dodie to actually watch this video). B) That "how does it feel to be 10 years away from being 15" question made me realize that this year I'm turning 22 and that means I'll be 10 years away from being 12 and that scares me C) I'd like to thank dodie for getting me into ASMR
@Thatellafella yeah she won't be answering them until her birthday in April but I just meant from following her for so long we're able to answer some/most of the questions she asked
There's something about Dodie that makes me love her. I can't point it out but I feel calm and happy when I watch her videos. Please continue being awesome and unique <3
Well this is crazy because tomorrow you will be 25 and we have watched you grow! Seeing this vidoe made me so happy because I was responding in my head for you which is crazy. I'm so proud of you dodie and cant wait to see where the next 5 years take you 💛
Sooo excited to see the reply now that it's 2020! ✨I remember watching this 5 years ago thinking 'oh my god it will be 2020 by then HOW' and yet, here we are. 🙃
Around your 25 bd I'm rewatching and trying to answer the ones I know and seeing how much I've grown with you virtually keeping me company. I was 14 or 15 when you made this and now I'm 20. I was one of the early subscribers because I wanted to improve my english lol
You have such a beautiful nose!!! Love it! And you! You make me happy every single day with just being in your videos! Thank you Dodie!!!! You are so unbelievable beautiful!❤
You have such a beautiful nose!!! Love it! And you! You make me happy every single day with just being in your videos! Thank you Dodie!!!! You are so unbelievable beautiful!❤
This is the best video I've seen in a very long time, this is a perfect example of how I feel about life right now. And as scary it is and freaked out I am it made me laugh about the things were afraid of, and that makes me feel like it's not so scary. So thanks for that one, Dodie 😊
Watching this waaaaaay late...but it made me smile and made me happy, And your wicked reference made me so very happy ❤️ Loved this video, and I hope when you're 25 and watch it again, you will be happy!
oh god this feels so weird to watch 4 years later, i cannot imagine how weird it must be for dodie... im 21 now, im older than dodie is in this video, which is what makes it so damn crazy?? i remember thinking wow 20, she's so grown up ahh what a difference these 4 years have made. i finished high school three years ago and im just starting to *feel*, not only factually know, like ive actually grown and matured since being in school like maybe i finally feel 19/20 now? why does it take so long for the brain to catch up with that number ah the existential crisis is real. can't wait to see your reply dodie.
So I'm very emotional at the moment, and I just cried while watching your "Just a few nostalgic tears" video, and when you harmonized, that note literally broke me. :P
I first watched this video when I was 16, and I thought “I wonder how I’ll feel about all of these things! How will changes happen in my life - I cant wait to be older and successful and cool!”
Needless to say some of that has happened. I still have these doubts and fears though and the idea that I’m now this age throws me for a loop. I’m still scared of the future. I still want to be cool. But when dodie asks “are you still touring? I bet your audience is gone.” And I think of the packed house I was a part of in Atlanta in October I’m filled with so much personal hope.
I’m watching this as a refresher before I watch dodies newest video and I’m so excited for her to look back on her success and to see the progress she’s made. I’m so fucking proud of dodie but also? I can see for myself how great my life can be. The future is uncertain and because of this we may predict major, terrible changes. But there will be wonderful changes too. It’s so exciting. 💖
Just imagine dodie stopped making YouTube, social media and everything in this 5 years and now all her fans sitting sobbing infront of their phone because we miss her so much...♥️
what did i do to deserve to see this video? It feels like watching the voice in my head in human form but way cuter than i imagine it would be. oh goodness, best of luck for you!
Dodie, are you going to watch this when you are actually 25, then make a video using it like a conversation between time?! That would be pretty darn awesome!
Am I the only one to be like "well two and a half more years go wait" and being genuinely excited by that ideation see a video response of 25ya Dodie ? XD
'Does heady have a boyfriend? Or a girlfriend?' I'm sorry but that line made me really happy haha. I think the thing I've collected from your videos is to enjoy my teenage years and not stress about the future. Or do stress about the future? Idek anymore.
Dear 25 year old Gina: i hope you're happy now. i hope you've found someone you love, and maybe you've bought an english longboat, and spent a good long time appreciating life on river canals of England. it might be teeny-tiny but cosy and an adventure every day. I hope you read a lot of books and have become best friends with Dodie, Evan, Candice and Bry because they're cool and you like them. i hope you've decided on a career you like, because you have no clue what you want to do at the moment and you never want to leave school because you love it, and you don't want to say good-bye to the friends, teachers and classmates you love spending time with everyday. looking back, hopefully you will be happy that moving on wouldn't have been as big of a deal as you think it will be at the moment. Think back to your year 12 musical... did it go well? i hope you didn't forget any lines! but if you did, that's okay :) Are you still living at home? or have you found somewhere else? have you visited America yet, or are you still scared? by this time i think Max will have passed... i hope you dealt with that okay... I'll give him a cuddle for you right now goes outside to give dog a cuddle . I really hope my parents are okay - please tell them you love them every day, and do lots of nice things for them. Have you done anything to make me proud yet? anything to leave your own stamp on the world? Are you still friends with my teachers? i hope so. Have you opened our time capsule yet? Are you still scared of all the things i am at the moment? Did he reply to your letter???? (!!!) i really wonder what he said! Do you have children (omg omg omg!!!) or maybe your expecting? Do Joey and Phoebe ever get together? Do you still play the flute? have you learnt any new instruments? how about your hair? is it short or long, because at the moment it's long. Do you go camping a lot? ooh! do you have a land rover yet? do you still want one? Did you get into WAAPA? are you doing musical theatre? ever been on TV? are you still learning Italian, Spanish and German? maybe you're fluent now - how cool would that be! Do you still have a sweet tooth? are you fat? Do you drink alcohol? Are you still involved in scouts? How about that thing that's niggling at you? has that stopped now? (please say it has!). Do you still have your journal? have you started a new one? Is Doctor who still going? has there been a female doctor? The doctor at the moment is Peter Capaldi, and his new companion Bill has just joined him.
Tips for future me: -spend wisely -go outside at least once a day -read the fine print -stay in contact with the people you love -eat healthily -don't be afraid to be a kid again, i expect you to have ridden the carousel in the zoo at least twice by now! -drink slowly so you don't spill your drink all over yourself -be yourself. always (unless your impersonating characters from TV aha ---- allonsy!)
so yeah, it is currently 2:57pm in Perth Australia. the date is 23/4/17 and i am wearing a white t-shirt and harem pants. if it is 2025 and your reading this, please comment and I'll let you know how my life has changed <3 love you forever <3 from 16year old Gina xxxxx
You know, i've never ever thouth that there is someone else in the world with the same questions and fears and overall thinking about stuff as me. That fact just really calmed me down and made me happy for at least 30 minutes. Thanks Dodie! :))
watching this video back makes me so much because, she's grown so much and alot of the things she's mentioned has happened (like meeting demi Lovato gah) i adore her 💝
wow it’s still a year until dodie can reply but it’s crazy because i already have the answers to so many of these questions and the things that dodie is doing now are making me really happy because they’re only things that past dodie was curious about and didn’t think she could fulfil
As a 25 year old, I feel like 20 year old me was essentially the same person. I was still in uni at the time, so I think the old me would be proud that I graduated and I have the job that I wanted. Still with the guy I met 5 years ago, still generally happy and doing me. Yay! :) Don't worry about it Dodie, life changes but it's still good!
That got me thinking really deep, now I can't sleep. Gonna go make some tee and look at the night sky. Thank you) this is amazing. I hope we'll have our finest 5 years possible
I love how some of the things you said are actually true whne you're 21! you have an amazing EP and have a VEVO and can kinda play guitar and have some great friends.
hah, loved this. i'm only 24 but i've got grey hair and i'm married and i own a flat so watch out because time flies!! i hope make a response to this video in 5 years (: x
When I was 14 I wrote a letter to 24 year old me, I (of course) genuinely forgot what I had written so it was super interesting to see what 14 year old me thought my life would be like. I thought I would have traveled more but mostly my depressed and lonely teenage-self just hoped that I would be a happy adult, that I had friends and love and a purpose, and all those things did happen, sooner or later.
Well, it's 7/2/17 and you're currently getting therapy and it's going quite well and you're now saying how excited and happy you are in your current videos! You're so much better now, Dodie, your smile isn't fake anymore!
this video is one of my favourites on this channel, if not the favourite video. i love it so so so much in fact i decided to write my future self a letter (i'm almost also 20 now so this should be interesting). p.s. i hope when you're 25 i'll be able to find your reply on this video. love ya :* <3
To 25yo dodie: PLEASE don't sign to a huge record label, please don't fall into the trap of prioritising carriere over health, please remember that you are enough.
It's been 2 years and ur audience still loves u!!! And is growing👍👍. Come on dodie audience, let's make it to when dodie is 25!! (I doubt that's going to be a problem😜😜)
I am putting a reminder in my calendar for 11 November 2020 and even if life has moved on and people aren't using Youtube anymore, I will be back on this channel in 5 years to see the response :)
It's increadible to see how far she has come and how much she has grown as a person and with her music. A good friend introduced me to her music and I have been absolutely in love with it since. Every time she anounces a music release I wait until I have a moment alone to properly absorb what she has written. She has been and always will be a significant part of my life. 💙💙💙
"have you met Demi Lovato yet?? PLEASE tell me you've met Demi" my lil dodie's dream has come true. shes accomplishing so much in such a little amount of time im such a proud mom
@***** Fun fact and update: The camera didn't record. Naturally. I mean, why should I ever think that pressing the record button should make the camera record? Turns out you have to press it twice. {facepalm} So, I'm re-working the idea, probably gonna try again soon-ish.
+louisalectube I really like the quote, "You can fail doing what you don't want to do, so you might as well fail doing what you love." Trust your heart louisa, the reason we have dreams is because it nevers stops whispering:)
+doddlevloggle your one of my inspirations for writing song, you have amazing writing skills and my favorite song of your is "My Face". Lastly, l feel you, that's your mood is mostly sad, I'm like that too, but I try to look at the bright side of life. I just want to say that your freaking beautiful and I just love you! 💕💜💕
I don't want to tell you that your sadness will fade as time goes on, because that's just a shitty way of invalidating your emotions and is completely out of touch with the reality of life. None of us know if any of us will be happy in five years. What I hope you know is that you are loved, certainly more than you can comprehend. While I reject this bullshit, Hollywood notion that love is a fix all solution for brokenness, I promise you that no matter where you are now or at 25 you will never have to be sad alone. I can't work out if anything I just wrote makes sense or has value to you, but it's the kind of thing I wish I learned a little bit sooner. I wish you a long and bright string of happy days xx.
Oh this is in my suggestions and yesterday I bawled my eyes out watching her reply and telling her younger self she is a musician and that her mind is better and ah so much feelings
can we PLEASE get an update on your depersonalization and derealization? i have had it two years now and you are the reason i found my diagnosis! i would love to hear you speak about your perspective at 20 vs 25 💖 tysm
@Stoffy Darko Reading this a second time, this sounded kinda mean. Sorry.
She scarcely uploads vlogs talking about her current situation (last 2 days ago). This will give you a good overview. But they are often pretty sad, so prepare yourself.
Dodie, i actually cried watching this... idk why... I want you to know that, even if you don't know me, I support you and that you are one of the best humans I will ever get the pleasure of watching. I love you so much and I hope, in two years, when you watch this again, you will see this comment and feel comforted and loved by everyone that is around you. Thank you for everything... -love luly💕
You're 22 now. You just came off summer in the city stage. Everybody loved you- And then was on 1 hour call with Demi Lovato where you cried about it and you told her everything you wanted to.
i'm the same age as hedy so when she said "she'll be 16" i had a mini freak out 😂😂 I was like omg i'll be 16! aweee when dodie said "I hope there will be people to see it" noooooo!!! i'm never unsubbing.
-Have you had your first kiss yet? -Do you have a boyfriend? A girlfriend? -Are you living at home still -what college are you attending? -my brother will be 16, how’s he doing? -did you conquer your fears of high school? Was it fun? -how are you new friends? Have you lost any old friends? -what is your major in college? Is it still nursing? -are your grades good? -do you drink? Have you done anything terrible to upset anyone? -is grandpa alive? Are both your grandmas alive? Has anyone had any more kids? -is anyone married? Engaged? -did any of your friends mess up and get pregnant young? Did they do drugs, smoke, go to parties? Are they still the innocent funny people they were 5 years ago? Are you still close with them? -have you ever been dumped? Have you ever dumped anyone? -is the family well? Are your little cousins enjoying elementary / middle school? -do you have a job? -are you happy?
You're absolutely a pleasure to watch and an honest breath of fresh air on the interwebs, perhaps even the BEST thing on the interwebs right now! Thank you for being so honest and so vulnerable, there is nothing lovelier than that. You have a big heart, and your sentimentality is something you should hold onto tightly because it will almost always steer you in the right direction, even when it doesn't seem so. Just know that you're wise beyond your years, but sometimes wisdom comes with an uncomfortable dose of worry and concern. Give it a nod, but try not to let it keep you down for long because there is far too much waiting for you in this world. You've already touched so many people's hearts and you will continue to accomplish so many wonderful things in the coming years. I can't wait to see how much you'll conquer in the next five years. Thanks for letting us tag along. <3
I'm 25 in 20 days. Looking back on 20 year old me I've not really changed very much! Definitely haven't gone grey yet, don't worry about that Dodie :p I'm still with the same person who I fell in love with in college when he offered his seat to an old lady, we still go to bed at the same time every night, we bought a house & a dog that we adore. Never be frightened of the future Dodie as yours is most definitely bright.. Talent like yours won't fizzle away :) x
I'll be 17 when you/if remake this. I really hope I still watch your videos ^-^ Maybe by then I'll have my own channel running. Now, I'll post a video, get anxious, and delete it in a day but I hope that'll change. Good luck on reaching your dreams and aspirations everyone!
That is just the best and less cringey "dear 25 year old me" video I've ever seen. I think Dodie will laugh and cry at it and be happy in general about it!
Dodie I don't know if you see this but i might as well say this anyway. I love you so so so so much . I think you are so great and your videos make me feel so happy when I am feeling sad. And that is most of the time tbh. But I am fine because I watch your videos. I am new like 3 days new to your Chanel but I love so much s out you. ❤️ just thought I would say
Oh gosh. Just watching this gave me anxiety. In five years...I'll be nearly 27. Oh. Oh no. I'll have my life together by then, right?? sarcastic laughter gradually progresses into tears
Dodie "I'm scared you've died !" Me looks at screen so much more and shouts " no dodie don't die queen who will do one of the best covers on YouTube??"😭😭😭😭
love how you're talking about 2020 as if it's like 100 years in the future haha I can tell you now - at least when it comes to phones - not much has changed... except now they're trying this flip phone thing that was cool in the 2000s with smartphones, which is quite ridiculous.
+doddleoddle In answer to your question about how it feels for age 15 to be a whole 10 years ago: the very worrying fact is that it will still seem like it was only last week.
And yes, you'll still dress like you did when you were 16. Most people do; that's why older people are so unfashionable.
I'll be 18 when dodie is 25 and I'm honestly so scared 18 feels so so old and right now I just feel so young and literally there's only 3 years... between now and then..
In 5 years I will be 17 and 5 months away from turning 18. What grades did future me get on her GSCEs? Can she drive yet? I'm terrified of growing up even though I hate my life right now.
Dear 19 year old Erin, I hope you've gotten out of the funk you're in now and that you're finally happy. Has Other Side Of March worked out, do you know how to play bass, have you sent out all the song's you've written by my time? Felicity really likes them, maybe other people will like them too! I hope everything works out for Felicity, she deserves it; Are you making other people happy, as well as yourself? did you donate your hair when you were 16, I hope you did, I'm not putting off dyeing it for 16 years just so you can be selfish and not donate it. Also, have you met those emo bands you're into now, how is Good Charlotte's album? Has MCR come back yet? Will ØSØM be everything you hoped it'd be?
don't worry so much about the future. just live in the present and make sure that each decision you make is what you believe is best in that present moment. You'll be fine ;) (BTW I'm now 25 and since I was 20 I had a beautiful daughter, lived in dubai and I'm now living in London. who would guess that right?) all the best xx
Literally just yesterday I was thinking "Dodie should make a 'to my 25 year old self video' and Evan should make a 'to my 30 year old self video'" this is freaky af I'm psychic
Honestly, it feels scary when it's a jump, but as you take the long way around, it's not so bad. I am 25 now, in 5 years I'll be 30. That seems like a big jump. 30 year olds have proper jobs, and kids and stuff. But 20 doesn't feel SO far away. 15 feels like a lifetime ago, though.
what's it like being 10 years away from 15? scary and creepy as fuck. I thought that these feelings of being old and frighteningly aware of aging wasn't supposed to hit till 30 or something. ..
25 year old Dodie, I beg you please, please, PLEASE answer every single question 20 year old Dodie asked in this video. Good luck. There are a LOT of them. XD
Like let me explain myself. so much has changed in this time already. Honestly you've been on a tour, you have an ep coming, you've had your skin sorted (which I'm not saying is bad I'm just saying because you asked if it was still 'shit' as you put it BUT I LOVE IT) and you're great at guitar. And that's only in a year. Well done Dodie
Life is too short to not be happy. You deserve happiness not five years down the road but today and right now. I really hope you're able to find true statable happiness and I am sure that you will have a beautiful and fulfilling life.
Can I just say how much I appreciate your open mind ness( we'll pretend that's a thing ). But when you were talking about Heidi(?) and you were saying "does she have a boyfriend?..or a girlfriend? It just made me happy that you don't care as long as she's happy, I know you probably didn't think twice about it and that this comment is all over the place but yeah, i love you dodie and I hope you start to feel better soon:)
I cannot wait for her reaction. I really want to see that. OH FUCK!!! I just realized in 5years I'll be in my second year of university. I'm scared about that. Jesus Christ I'm nervous now. I'm all paranoid now. I probably shouldn't watch videos like this because I'm always so paranoid. UGH!! I wonder if people in university still have time to full-time fangirl? If anyone in university reads this comment please tell me if Ill still have time to fangirl once I start uni.
I wrote it in december 2013. I still haven't had my first kiss yet, but I don't really care anymore. I am depressed, not still, but again. I know what I want to do after high school! Some of the millenium goals went really well, others really didn't. I am definitely bisexual. I still have the same lovely, weird friends as two years ago. Lol probably none of us is completely straight. I still hate maths. I am almost 18! No way! I almost made it! Next year 11 November I will be a free house elve!
being almost the same age as dodie (19) this freaks me out. 24 is like a proper adult! i'll be done with uni and hopefully doing something i like and be less of a freakin mess oh my god that's so overwhelming gbye
ITS AMAZING TO SEE THAT HALF OF THESE THINGS ARE TRUE STILL OR HAVE HAPPENED LIKE SHE HASNT MET DEMI YET BUT SHE LIKED ONE OF YOUR TWEETS!!! god this is so cute💖✨
I'm a bit late on this comment cuz I've only just found u a week ago and have slowly been watching all ur old videos out of order, but I think I'll also ask my future self some things. Dear 21 year old me, what's it like being able to drink? Do u have a boyfriend? Did u decide to go to college? Have u found ur calling yet? Are u a Youtuber like Dodie? Best wishes, 16 year old me.
It can be totally and utterly terrifying to think so far into the future. You did such a brave thing by making this video!! It's now a little over a year since you've made this video. And you're so brilliant at what you do right now! <3 I've been binge-watching your videos, I may be making a "dear future me" video of my own sometime -- I feel scared but at the same time, inspired. Thank you always for being you, Dodie <3
in 5 years i'll be 25 as well, and i don't even wanna think about it. right now is the major-change-time, i'm moving out in two weeks, i need to find a 'real' job that i'm happy enough with to work at for decades, all my friends are changing and studying and driving and i feel like i'm so not ready for adulthood.. so i hope my 25-year-old me has all that sorted by then. i hope i'm happy.
Everyone came to this video after her most recent video and now it’s been getting recommended to me nonstop because of that 😂 still super excited though
In 5 years I'll be 21. That's bloody fuckin weird to think about. I've this project for film class where I'm supposed to document something wether it be myself or anything really. Might do this dear me in five years thing (if that's alright Dodie?) mixed with some day-to-day shots
I have that "pudge thing" and yes, it's annoying, but you are still really beautiful, and I hope you feel happy soon, you deserve to be. (: I love your videos, they're so truthful and funny!
"You have about 200,000 subscribers" PFFFT YOU DEFINITELY HAVE EARNED WAY MORE THAN THAT! "Are you good singer? Are you a musician? WELL YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY FAVORITE YOUTUBE MUSICIAN AND YOU ARE THE FAVORITE OF MANY OTHERS AS WELL
Your skin is amazing, can you please teach me how to make my skin look as nice as yours? Because you say you have really bad skin, but it looks perfect?
NO DONT BE SAD WE LOVE YOU DODIE DONT BE SAD THAT MAKES ME SAD AND THEN WE ARE ALL SAD NO SAD BAD I DONT LIKE BEING SAD AND YOU DONT LIKE BEING SAD LETS JUST BE HAPPY HAPPY IS GOOD SAD IS BAD DONT BE SAD DODIE NO THATS VERY BAD SAD IS BAD AGAIN NO DONT BE SAD I LOVE YOU AND YOUR FANS LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS LOVE YOU BUT I LOVE YOU THE MOST
Oh god I'll be 18 omg Have I moved out of the house yet? (Probs not) Am I still watching YouTube videos all day and night? Do I still talk to all my friends? Have I met Dodie or Evan? Have I met Dan and Phil? Have I met anyone even remotely famous? Do I drive well, or am I really bad at it? How's my YouTube channel? Do I still make videos? I can't think of anything else ehhhhh
In 5 years I'll be 24. WHAT. I thought this was a great video idea. It's like a YouTube time capsule. WHAT IF THERE WERE VIDEO RESPONSES AND PEOPLE HAD PUT THEM TO PRIVATE AND THEN WHEN THEY ACTUALLY BECOME THEIR FUTURE SELVES, THEY MAKE THE VIDEO PUBLIC AND PUBISH A VIDEO RESPONDING TO THEIR PAST SELVES. STOP THE LIGHTS. THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN.
+Megan Collins Chris Bingham sort of did this over the course of a year. He then released the videos on alternate days of the current year and previous year
I'll be 18 oh god, have I graduated secondary? Am I still planning on moving to England? Did I survive 4 years at OG or did I stay at IFSS? Have I gotten my first love? Have I met anyone remotely famous?, I hope u have. Is Fiona is alive? How's she doing? Wheres Brett gone to? Does he have a love? Any kids? Mom, dad, you doing fine?
Dear 18 year old me, I hope you've watched this video. I also hope the tomorrow's rehearsal you were dreading (12/11/15) goes well and you won Performing Arts Festival. I hope you've met Dodie, Jack and Dean and Dan and Phil!! I hope you're happy. Love, 13 year old you
+Chloe Mason its been four months and i just watched it and now im genuinely curious about how your rehersal went, and whether or not you won?? even if you didnt im sure you did amazing
five years from 15 to 20 is a lot. But five years from 20 to 25 not so much. From 15 to 20, you grew from teen to an adult. From 20 to 25 no physical changes or other changes will for sure happen
hi dodie! um, I've recently got into your videos and you've noticed me on twitter approx 3 times :)))))) (if you remember you retweeted the photo i sent you that was your face on the grandmas?) BUUUUUT PLEASEEEEEE TELLL MEEE WHERE YOU GOT YOUR BLACK DRESS THING THAT YOU'RE WEARING IN THIS VIDEO OMG IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT FOR AGES AND I. CANNOT. FIND. IT. help plz ty xx
About the nose job: Dodie, if you really really hate your nose so much that you find it hard to recognize yourself in the mirror, then go for it. I got a nose job a year ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. I am so much more self-confident now and I actually see myself in the mirror, not a monster with a big nose. My nose used to be quite a bit bigger than yours and I was crooked and it made me feel horrible. You are beautiful just the way you are, Dodie, but this is just my experience (and as you may know that getting rhinoplasty isn't about "learning to accept and love yourself", it's about actually seeing YOURSELF in the mirror. My nose used to be small when i was younger, and then it just grew so quickly that i couldn't even get used to it) ♥♥♥
So ill be 19 in 5 years time and honestly I'm scared as fuck! Am I still alive? Did I win or control my depression and anxiety! Holy crap, I don't want to grow up! 😢
If 20 year old me comes back and reads this comment hello how are you doing I hope you figured out what you want and who you want to be and that you're happy. Are you doing college? What's your major? How's your family? Are you happy? Are you still in therapy? Have you cut your hair yet? Are you vegan yet? Are you dating anyone? Please tell me that at your age you've at least kissed someone. No shame either way but god I hope so.
ahem Dear 17 year old me, How's it going, friend? I hope you watch this video in five years and see this comment because otherwise it's pretty useless. Moving on. So what are you doing? You've finished high school by now. How was it? Did you fall in love with anyone? OOH did you come out because we all know you're pretty much gay. What did you do in your GCSE's? Did you enjoy what you did? Has your singing improved? Can you sing like Mitch Grassi now?????? omg hamza *my lil bro* will be 8!!!!! wth what is he like? annoying? nice? does he still love dinosaurs? are you friends with eleanor and tyler and all them still? did ali end up moving to oxford and do you still keep in touch? have you been to japan yet because we made that promise remember. Do you still love dan and phil? HAVE YOU MET THEM??? AND DODIE????? AND PENTATONIX???? holy crap if you have how was it? um. i dont know what else to say. have you got any pets? or new friends? idk. i guess that's it. hope you're happy friendo. love, 12 year old you xoxo.
All the people in the comments being like "I'll be 18 in 5 years oh god so old" I can't even. You're all like little teeny tiny foetuses. I will be 30 in 5 years, THIRTY. That scares me greatly.
I just realized by the time you're 25 I will be 19 and out of high school and wILL I STILL BE ALIVE HOW WILL LIFE BE FOR ME TIME IS WEIRD HOW DOES LIFE WORK HELP
Do you still live in London? 🙂 I'm not sure what you're saying there, it sounds to me like Dolvenflat but that doesn't exist 😂. I'd love to attend a meet'n'greet if you're ever in South-West London! 💛 x
'are you still going on tours' ouch qurantine hurts 😥 cant believe 5 years later theres a global pandemic, and no one saw it coming (except that creepy ass book in 2008) ahhh time is so weirdddd
sorry for being a downer :( HAPPY BIRTHDAY DODIE UR THE BEST YOUVE WRITTENN AMAZING SONGS WITH MORE TO COME AND GROWN SO MUCH BEHIND THE SCENES AND IN FRONT OF A CAMERA IM SO PROUD I LOVE AND RESPECT YOU SO MUCH
So when Dodie's 25, I'll just be entering college. Wow that's um a lot to think about. Wait...will Kanye be president? Oh man that would be hilarious, and am I still playing guitar and writing songs? What if I quit music and went onto like...acting or something! Did I get over anxiety so I can preform for people soon? That would be good too. Am I still in touch with friends? Oh man is Joe still growing out his hair? Please tell me he cut it. So many questions for 18 year old Sara, so many.
Dear 20 year old me, Your hair should be short by now. Like keep it short forever.I hope you meet Dan and Phil,Dodie,and a bunch of Youtubers.I want you to be the greatest singer of all the time. Did you have the courage to ask Amber out? Are you married? YOU HAVE ANY DOGS? OMG GET A DOG. A PUG OMG! AHHH. Do you still like Melanie Martinez? Does her music still sound heavenly? I have to go now,reply pretty please with a cherry on top!- 15 year old
Well dear 17 year old me, I WISH I MET 5SOS, Ryan Higa and many more people I Loved in the future. Also i hope i got a new laptop. Old one sucks. Also i hope I started making YT videos :-) Much love, 13 year old you.
I know that this is reeally off topic but does anyone know where dodie got this dress from? or where I can get a similar one? Because I think its so cute and I've been trying to find out for ages but I can't find it anywhere :(
Nu nu she once said in her haul video that it is from forever21, but I'm not sure if it's available again. Asos has a similar one I think, they're called pinafore dresses.
Dear 18-20 year old me. Are you still depressed? Probably. Do you have clean skin? Probably not. Remember when zebra was your best friend. Have you got a boyfriend/ girlfriend yet? Have you moved out yet? Are panic attacks still frequent? Are O and K still together? Remember when you're worst memories are with THOSE people? Are the scars gone yet? Are you still causing havoc? Have you been to Ireland yet? Have you seen panic!, fob, dodie, niall, harry, liam, louis play yet. Do you still "ironically " love one direction?, of course you do. Has the Asshole got a new gf yet. Do you still love teddies? Do you still ship larry? Are you still madly in love with daniel and Phillip? Are they married? Are you married? Do you have a job? Please be an author. Are you an author? Tell me your ok? Tell me life gets better? Tell me your free from school and now are living in Ireland with somebody you love near a beach? Do you still love beaches? Do you still love harry potter? Do you still love reading? Wherever you are and what ever you are doing I hope it makes you happy.
I'm 25 it's not so bad. But u need to think less. stop spending the present moment thinking about the past or future. The present moment is all you will ever have. Thinking changes nothing just creates problems
holy shit i just realized that im gonna be almost 18 in 5 years.... OMG ILL BE ALMOST OUT OUT SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then i have to be in the real world.... FUCK!!! maybe i can ask my parents to help me move to london.... OMG DO I HAVE A BAND OR YOUTUBE CHANNEL YET!?!?!?!? OR BOTH!?!?!?!?!?
Dear 20 year old Dodie, don't worry about the future; everything is going to be fine. And don't wait for happiness to come to you - go and find it. Make lots of memories, take lots of pictures, eat healthy foods, travel, exercise, try new things (especially things that scare you) and experience life before shit hits the fan and you're 25 and you need to start thinking having babies and mortgages and marriage and careers and anti-wrinkle creams... From a fellow 25 year old (no wrinkles as of yet)
God i would not make this video cuz i would be so scared for the answer cuz i would be like in college and i dont want to do college but my parents are going to force it upon me and ill be not happy but going along with it cuz honestly i just want to become 16 and stay that way forever and not grow up and stay a child... the future is scary to me. I know you probably wont see this comment because this is an old video but yeah. I feel the fear u feel in asking if u are going to be married or anything. Time is a scary thing and i just want it to stop
I'm currently 25 (very soon to be 26) and I can tell you that 25 year old me is SO much happier than 20 year old me. I'm a different person. It's crazy how much things can change in just 5 years. And to think in another 5 I'll be nearly 31.... STAY POSITIVE, DODIE! Things WILL get better.
This video. Made my day. You are incredible!! I loved watching you think and then think more and go on tangents of thinking. Perfect way to start my day :) Thanks Doddie :)
Dodie, I promise in 5 years we'll all still love you and I promise at least I will always think you're amazing and watch your videos as long as you're here for us! <3
hs was a wonderful, real, cute, perfect video. I hope you enjoy looking back on this, and, also, that Wicked harmony gave me chills up my spine, it was beautiful and happily unexpected.
I am 24 and I have felt similarly through my whole early twenties. I keep wishing I was in my teens (even some days my early childhood) or hoping to be in the happier future and generally being unhappy in the present. .. This is sounding very gloomy so just wanted to say I found this whole thing very relatable so thanks :)
I think I died when you sang Wicked! You should totally do a cover of it, it sounded so good! This is such a sweet video <3 and totally strange to think about where I'll be when I'm 25. Yikes, let's hope the next five years are good one :P
Dodie this was such a great video. I hope your 25 year old self is happy and in love and doing music and YouTube still. And I'm sure you'll still have an audience because you're great :)
In 5 years I'll be 23 and I'll probably be about to finish university... That's crazy!
I find this really interesting- I'm only 22 but am SO nostalgic about my university days around ages 19-21 and would go back in a heartbeat. But would never want to go back to being 15/16 again ever, it was fun at times but I way so insecure and confused about a lot of things, and there's so much pressure around everything.
I just realized that I'm only three years younger than Dodie right now, oh my god. This whole video just made me reevaluate my whole life and the concept of time and the universe and wow I'm in really deep.
This is adorable, I hope you remember to make a reply in 5 years! The future terrifies me too. I'm about to graduate from University, so I have no idea where I'll be or what I'll be doing by this time NEXT year, let alone in 5 years. I'll be 26...oh god.
I'm also 20 and I couldn't feel more related to you right now. I'm sort of panicking. Anyways, I hope you and I and everyone are happy at 25, and tomorrow also why not.
I'm also 20 and that feeling of wanting to be in the past and future at the same time is exactly how I feel too. I think 20 is a scary, weird, half-adult-half-teenager age. I'm sorry you feel like this too but in some ways it's good to know I'm not the only one <3
firstly - love seeing all of the youtube comments on here like "HOLY FUCK IM DEAD" although it isn't something to joke about, vvv funny. I love how close and concerned you are about Hedy. Im very close with my older sister and I promise you that your relationship will come to be extremely important to hedy. Im 15 and i've only just started to realise how close i am to my sister and how much i need her. For example to other night i had a huge argument with my boyfriend and i tweeted an indirect snidey tweet and within 20 minutes my sister was at my front door and we wandered round the 24 hour tescos until 2am just talking about absolute shit and wetting ourselves laughing the whole time. i don't have a little sister but i have a 10 month old niece. I hope i can be that person for her one day
This is so nice - I always wonder with 5 years in the future because 3 years ago I had a completely different plan for what I'm doing now so like next year I might not even be doing what I'm planning for next year it's crazy
Don't worry doddie your amazing and always will be ill watch you always and, when you grow up with Hedi you WILL be happy I guarantee it!! Wut u doddie❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a gorgeous gorgeous video Dodie. Really thought provoking and scary and wonderful all the same time. You've captured 20 year old Dodie and this will be incredible to look back on and answer the questions when you are 25. Yes, the future is scary but it's also exciting :) <3
Dodie. Don't worry. I at the age of 17 now will still be watching your videos until 22 and beyond and have been watching since I was 14/15. Just believe that at that age you will still have at least one person who thinks you and your videos are absolutely awesome. xx
I love the fact that you said "Does Hedy have a boyfriend" and then added "or a girlfriend" I just think it's really nice that you said that and didn't think of it as weird like some people do xxx
I really wish I could see another video from 25 year old Dodie right now!! But yes, 25 year old Dodie, even if you are not making videos anymore, please let us know how you are doing! <3
In 5 years I will be officially an adult OH MY GOD, I think that my goals are to have more self confidence and to not stop watching the youtubers that make me happy like Dodie and Dan and Phil so yeah I guess this is to 18 year old me, I hope I don't change for the worse and I grow to be a great person Love, 13 year old me
I'm 25.... How did this make me cry? It shouldn't have but in 5 years I'll be 30 and nothing has gone the way that I wanted it to and... I hope everything you do is successful Dodie. You are a good egg.
What you said in the first minute... about not being happy and thinking about the past but not doing anything to make the present/future better... wow. Literally exactly how I feel too.
I'm going to be 26 in five years. Oh my goddddd I hope I have my life figured out and not as much of a mess. I'm happy I've started uploading videos because then I can look back on what I was up to, what I was like, and who I hung out with but that's such a scary thought. What till everything be like in five years? .-.
yeah I heard the saying recently "Your future self is watching you through memories".. and it fucked me right up. Its a good reminder to do things now that your future self will thank you for, and not regretting not doing things sooner.
aw dont worry about the future. all good things will come to you !! in five years i'll be twenty and im so curious about how future me is going! i wonder if i've fallen in and out of love!
I will be 18 in 5 years. I hope everything goes well for me and I get good results in all my exams, but I doubt that. No matter what I hope I am healthy and happy
I have no idea how I stumbled on this video as a 31 year old male lol! Probably 'cus i'm about to turn 32. I would LOVE to be 25! lol! I will probably be wishing to be 31 again when I'm 40, you see a pattern here?
One thing I have l learned is that life is what happens when you're busy making other plans, as John Lennon once said. You can't predict what will happen, it's best to live in the moment. Focus on what you have rather than what you don't have. All the best! I'll be back in ten years to bring more wisdom! ;)
The fear of the future is an interesting one. I suppose it goes hand in hand with a fear of failure and a need of control. But I also think you could, potentially, turn it into a positive! Regret of the past is quite a useless emotion, but the upside of the future is that you still have a chance to influence it. And it will always be ahead of you, tomorrow there will still be a "5 years in the future" Dodie to talk to, and the next year and the next. All the things, all the questions you ask yourself in this video - you have a chance to influence the answers to them! Just keep knitting, keep writing songs, keep calling your friends, keep making videos and I'm sure 25 year old Dodie will watch this thinking you were silly for ever doubting her! <3
I really just want to skip ahead and watch your reaction to this video. And then rewind back to now, so that i don't miss the rest of my teenage years. Omfg i will be 21 in 5 years, omfg.
Dodie oh my god ! You're only 20 ? :) I thought you were older because you seem so mature ! Well, it's coming from a 23 year-old so maybe it doesn't mean much, but I felt the same as you did when I turned 20 and now I'm happy :) So keep going Dodie ! <3 Lots of people love you and know you have a real talent. I'm actually watching your videos while eating breakfast right now because you make me feel calm and you make me laugh. Have a great day :)
I'll be 24,so I can relate!except i haven't started doing videos yet(going in a studio this weekend though :) my main question is : where are you?did you settle for Québec?Sherbrooke?did you do that leap of faith and go to Berlin?how good of a singer did you become?Can you sing like James Labrie yet? :O 18 years old Danick,Damn your youngest brother Can vote in Canada!what??is everyone allright? Did you get your tandem skydiving licence yet? Oh well,Doddie Clark you've made me think a lot this morning xD
In five years I'll be 21. Holy fuck, why does that make me so emotional. I would love to stumble back on this video in five years, and see my own comment. Hah.
I won´t go anywhere I need you! In a year I´ll hopefully move to England to study acting, but I´ll be alone, and fuck I´m scared. I don´t know anyone there. Your channel is my safe place!
In 5 years I'll be 21. Woo fricking hoo.. Seriously though, I'll probably have lost touch with all my current friends, my cats have probably died and I probably will have moved closer to the city to pursue whatever it is that I have chosen to do by then. So excited xD
I am 15 and thinking about how I'm gonna be in five years and ITS SO WEIRD. I'll be the age you are today when you're 25 and this is amazing and scary and bizarre and AAAHHHH
I'll be 24, less than a month away from 25 in 5 years time. I always think of the bad side to it all, I hope I'm not still in a dead end job and I do hope that I'm still with my boyfriend in 5 years. I want to be happy and successful in life and at the moment I don't feel like I am able to be either of those.
Dodie in 5 years i'm going to be your age and i'll make sure i'm still watching you! I guess write a tiny letter to myself down here: Dear nearly 20 year old Nell, Are you as cool as Dodie yet? How's that youtube channel coming along? Did you/are you dating that boy? Did you ever kiss that boy? Did you go to prom? Did you wear the Taylor Swift Speak Now dress? What college are you attending? Written a novel yet? (get on that!!) Completed NaNoWriMo? Visited Mr. Weitz? Are you still friends with Amanda, Olivia, Christine, Helena, Jessica, etc? Have you ever met Dodie, Hedy, Dan, Phil, Charlie, John, Hank, etc. yet? I hope you have! Was high school okay? Right now it's going pretty poorly. What your favorite book/movie/song/band now? How's mom and dad? I assume they're divorsed by now. How's Max? How's Zatch? Have you mastered the violin/guitar/ukulele/piano yet? Do you still talk with parenthesis? Did you get to go to VidCon this summer? (Summer of 2016) How was your OC year of camp? Did you go back to be a counciler? (you better have!!!!) Still writing songs and poetry? Are you writing at all? Where do you live now? I hope it's someplace cool like California or London or something!! I really have you go now because it's 1:38am!! Bye!!
I'm reading a book at the moment that is pretty dramatic, but all about trying to be happy and content in the present. It's called The Power Of Now and I just thought about it because you said that you're constantly thinking about the past and the future and worrying about not being happy in the present, which is exactly what I am feeling :) Not sure whether this will help you in any way, but it just made me think of it :) xxx
Awe I wish I could just like squeeze you and tell you everything will be alright and that I and so many other love you SO much!!! I'll just pop out and make you some tea! :) ☕️there you go love. There's some tea.
I know this sounds so cliche, but have you read anything about buddhism yet? I have learned so much from it! I'm not a Buddhist now, but I use a lot of strategies to stay focused on the present and to enjoy every blink of it. but then again some people are just more nostalgic than others and that's totally cool :) I hope 25yr old dodie really has done some good steps towards her personal happiness. <3
Dodie I am 33 (although I kind of share this account with my 9 year old daughter so if anyone sees me popping up commenting on LDShadowlady videos, that isn't me!) First off, I really enjoy your videos. You remind me of myself a little, when I was 20 and that makes me nostalgic and happy.
When I first saw this video I thought 'jeez, 20-25 is nothing' and kind of wondered why you'd think it would be so interesting to look back on.
Then I realised I was totally wrong. 20-25 is huge. And it's still a time when years feel long and meandering and not bullet-fast like they are later on.
When I was 20 I was still at University, studying English and Creative Writing, in a long-term relationship, living in Liverpool in a crazy run-down house with friends. I had dreams of being a journalist. By the time I was 25 I had a baby (a happy accident!) was in a totally different long-term relationship and lived with my then-boyfriend in a lovely flat, had moved to London, had an entirely new group of friends, and was working in Digital Marketing at a publishing company as a manager of a whole load of people. It was probably the craziest 5 years of my life so far. And you have all that to come (obviously not the same things but no doubt even more eventful). Enjoy it. And document it. I wish I had more to look back on from those days. xx
Oh god, 20 year old Dodie is stressing me out because 24 year old Kaylee is realizing that 25 year old Kaylee will be here in a year and she's gotten absolutely none of these things Dodie has asked about accomplished.
Stop worrying holy cow!! You will take the rest of your life each day at a time! Some days will be worse than the present day but some days will be absolutely brilliant! You will never ever feel out of your depth, because remember each day at a time. When youre 25 it will be weird because you'll still feel like you do now except you'll be 25 (I wish someone told my 20 year old self this and that's coming from a 25 year old :)
hey Dodds if ever you want to talk when you are unhappy hit me up I will try to cheer you up with jokes like these. 2 guys walk into a bar the third one ducked pts schhhh
In 5 years time I'll be 20 years old, I have no idea where I will be at that point hopefully in university working towards being a psychologist like I plan to do but hey I'm just rolling with it
I feel like 25 year old Dodie will be in a much better place mentally and its gonna find this video silly. I get it everyone has inperfections and insecurities, but is hard not to see you as someone perfect or at least someone i would rather be than myself, so please learn to love yourself more! You really do deserve all the love and happines in the world
jksgkfk this was so weird for me i always forget that people i look up to (for lack of a better term) really aren't that much older than I am like it's so weird to think that when you'll rewatch this as a 25 year old, i'll be 21 because that doesn't seem like much of an age difference but right now me being 16 and you being 20 seems like a huge age difference??? i dunno i really enjoyed this though, you're so adorable ily
Dear 20 year old me, are you at uni? Have you left Norway? Are you in England? Are you happy? Do you still miss out on life because of your health? Do you still watch YouTube? Maybe you've started doing YouTube yourself? Have you directed that short film you wrote yet?
Anyway I'm really excited to get out of this dump and live my life. Hope both present-time Dodie and 25-year old Dodie are happy and healthy.
IM SCARED in 5 years i'll be 23 SAVE ME i can't be in my 20s thats too old help oh my god everything is going to be so different.. dodie what have you doneeeee
I'll be 22 in 5 years. I will have finished uni (maybe) and then what? will I be working in the bbc? for my own company? will I have a boyfriend/girlfriend?? oh wow this video has made me all questioning
I feel so old because I'm older right now than how old you're going to be in 5 years and in 5 years I will be 31. Ugh. I hope I've found love by then and a real job and don't live with a bunch of roommates who don't clean up the kitchen. And I better have a cat by then or I don't even know.
Dear 19 year old me, What collage do you go to? What are you studying? Where do you live? Are you in a musical? Can you play all of the instruments I want to learn? Are you a musician? Do you have a YouTube channel? From, 14 year old you
Wow in 5 years I'll be 18. Hey future me how did exams go? I hope you're happy and well. You're an adult now, have you learnt to drive? Are you still friends with everyone - diya, alisha, aishani, tala, jade, hannah? oh god I hope they don't find this comment, if you do hi guys. Don't laugh at my name and icon, luna lovegood and phil lester are life. I kind of went off topic. Whatever. - 13 year old me
+Luna Lovegood (2016) it's just been 6 months since this comment and i'm already cringing lmao yikes. also jade is now jay lol. also 14 year old me has a crush on one of my friends isn't life fun
2018, 16 years old - oh god it's been nearly 2 and a half years since this comment. wow i can't believe i've had the same name and icon for this long. life is pretty shit tbh, and gcses are in 2 months whoop. wait holy shit. I actually remember writing this comment, and the friend thing. oh god this is so weird, because i'm actually not friends with 3/4 of those people, and it's not even that we just drifted apart. but i never imagined in 2015 that we wouldn't be friends, we were so close :(
If you want your friendship with someone to be rekindled, why dont you try rekindle it now? You probably have tried! if not, i hope you do and it works out x unless that isnt needed! x
Dear 18 year old me:Right now you're a little stressed, a little annoyed at everyone, pretty happy and really confused. School is eh, but some projects are fun. Hey, a fandom Instagram post randomly got 1,200 likes, no clue how that happened when the average is 60-100.How's collage? What are you studying, have you even decided yet? Are you even going to collage? If yes, is your dorm mate nice? Are there trees there? What happened in high school? Did you like all those clubs you wanted to join? Have you had your first kiss yet? Was it nice? Do you still keep in touch with Jay and Corie and Eleanor occasionally? Please say yes. Let's not talk about if anyone or any pets have died. Do you still like filming cute videos for school? Have you read I'll Give You The Sun or A Dog's Purpose recently? Did you take that creative writing course and realize how shit you are yet? Did you survive Latin? Are you in shape? Please tell me you can finally do a pull-up. Did you finally officially get to 5 feet(If no, what went wrong???)? Is YouTube still a thing? Are you still trying really hard to be social? Are you good at meeting new people? Are you still feeling all hormonal and awkward(Probably)? Do you still wear glasses, or just contact lenses? Can you do a back handspring? Is the scoliosis still a problem? What music do you like? Are you still trying to be a really good person, or has sarcasm absorbed your kindness? Do you still eat Brookside Pomegranate Chocolates? What's your favorite holiday? Where do you want to live? Have you found a new best friend? On one to ten, how much of a nerd are you? (Right now, I'm around 8). Quick Dear 25 year old me:Nopenopenopenopenopenope.Have you grown up yet? Please say no. Are you living in a house? Are you continuing collage? What are you planning on doing? Is running that café still an option? Teaching? Have you found a real passion? Are you like, with, someone? Or is that still not happening? Look at the18 one too, those still apply. How do you dress? Read an extra book whenever you can please. What are your friends like? Who are they? Do you still have so many questions? Almost definitely, why did I ask that? Do you have lots of fairy lights? Can you actually cook? Do you exercise? Are you happy? Do you remember Circus Silks, and how much fun it is?
Honestly do NOT wish to be 15-16, I am soon to be 15 and ngl this is the worst time of my life. I know soooo many people say this and people reply with "YOU DONT MEAN THAT SCHOOL DAYS ARE THE BEST TIMES OF YOUR LIFE" but I cannot wait to get a job that I actually like, have freedom to do what I want (as my school doesn't allow me to dye my hair, get piercings, cut my hair, wear makeup, ETC.) and just be my own person. I don't care how stressful being an adult is and paying bills etc etc as I really just wanna gtfo out of school. And away from everyone in my school. Bleh. But you see my point. I should make the most of being this age I guess but so should you <3
dear 20 year old me, um what's up? are you still playing music, learned any new instruments? have you made a serious YouTube channel or decided on a different career? I'm wearing a Duran Duran T-shirt and jeans hbu? do u know what hbu is?? short hair?long hair ? or other any way hope you re living a majestic life have ur priorities straight(I don't) some friends most importantly, that you are content from, the 15 year old
Dodie, I know this isn't very topical but I need advice rather desperately. I need to cut my hair this weekend because I have messed it up with hair dye and straightening ( I have curly hair that i hated), and I want to cut it short. I am very nervous. I weigh my worth on how others view me even though I shouldn't. I have a rather chubby face, so I tend to look alot younger than I actually am. So I'm nervous I will look younger, and I am scared people will no longer think I am beautiful or attractive. I want the cut for myself, and I love the idea of short hair. But I am scared of the outcome and its effects. I don't want a bad cut or a puffy mess so I am a ball of nerves. Sending you my love, xx
This just made me realize that in five years time I'll be 24, and I just really hope I will have figured out what I want to do with my life. As for Dodie, I hope your happiness only goes up from here.
Hey, Dodie! I just wanted to leave something that might help you out every once and a while! Sometimes when I'm really regretting or even missing my past/ past self, I write my younger self a letter, telling her about what has improved throughout the years. For example, I wrote to my seventh grade self (about four or five years ago when I began to feel pretty shit 95% of the time) about how I was really glad that She had held on. I told her that I had changed so much for the better, and I included how thankful I was because she hung on so long, and it set me in a great path for the future. I hope this can help you out, because I know how crappy it can feel to want to live in the past.
Loved the honesty. Loved the editing. Loved the comical interludes - knitting needle and harmonies in particulars... loved the Time capsuleness of this and the colour coordination. :b
Even if I'm not watching your videos in five years time, I want 25 year old Dodie to know that I think the world of her and wish her the best, and I want 20 year old Dodie to know the exact same thing now. <3
I'm same the same age as Dodie with LITERALLY the same fears, so it was quite nice to have her put it into a neat little video for me to catch up on in five years too! Unfortunately, it's also FUCKING TERRIFYING. I NEED A LIE DOWN AND TEA NOW. WHAT AM I GOING TO BE LIKE AT 25?! Christ, somebody pat my head and tell me it'll be okay.
Oh I'd never have the courage to make a video like this, the future is truly frightening... I barely know what life will be like in a couple of days, I tremble at the mere thought of what life will be like when I'm 25. Hopefully it'll be alright, and I am doing what I am supposed to in life, whatever that is.
Lovely video! Good luck to future you, and even more luck to present you! Hope happiness comes to you, everyone deserves it.
this is really funny, just today I said to myself: "you know what? let's make a book about things you never want to forget" and i think like I should write about you, and how you inspire me to live and speak to myself about future, sooo yeah, you'll be in my book that I'll probably read in some years hahq
this video made my heart ache... all I wanted to do was hug you and tell you that you'll do just fine cause you are most certainly not in the worst place currently and there's no way for you to know anything in the future so don't sweat it. doddie you'll do great things, you just have to do one silly thing: don't doubt yourself! I don't think there is a single person alive that thought in their early 20s: huh, I'm really secure about myself. so don't bother with little stuff and fly my pretty! <33
I absolutely love the fact that you watch your own videos, I don't know why, I just do. I'll be 22 in 5 years time, also wishing that I'll be in love (by then I hope that people won't still be making Taylor Swift references and puns)
it's a britney spears perfume and i think it's called midnight fantasy!! it smells really good, but there's also a pink version that smells a bit like marshmallows!!!!
Oh no I relate so much to this. I'm 20, and have been feeling like I'm too young to be the age I am since like 18. All I want is to be back in high school when just barely two years ago I wanted to be done with it, even though I really loved my school. When I was 15 I wanted to be 10, and now I feel more confused than ever. 2010 feels like not even a year ago, but in 2020 I'll be 25 and that feels like a lifetime away. I also don't feel like I've changed much at all since I was fifteen, it's just like five years happened over the course of a summer or something, I don't understand how it all has gone by so quickly.
And all the dreams I've had growing up, now that I'm actually free to start making them a reality, I feel anything but excitement because I don't know what to do and I'm scared that I won't figure it out soon. BLegh, I'm just word-vomiting now but everything is confusing and really scary!!!! and I feel too young to be this old. Like I don't know anything yet!!! You can't push me into the adult world like this!!! Can't you see I'm a mess!! ..... ok damn I probably need to make a video like this for myself, as a form of therapy or something because I clearly need it, and then hopefully my 25 year old self will be alive and super cool and have at least a lot more things figured out.
At first I was thinking, "man I can't wait to see her reply!" But now I'm overthinking because I'll be 20-year-old Doddie's age when I see it again and I'll be thinking the same things... Crazy.
IN 5 YEARS I WILL BE 20 i can't believe. but i really loved this video it made me think, and try not to worry dodie i will still be watching you in 5 years for sure :')
DODIE! all those things you say you hope your 25 yo self will have done or become, it's up to you to make that come true! and you will! you clearly have the drive and creativity, believe in yourself :) as for the shitty thoughts and feelings, it might sound harsh but it's up to you to handle those as well! it's not for me to speculate how serious it is for you, but some people can overcome it by themselves, others need help - and it's all okay. It might be scary to ask for help and to actually deal with stuff (been there myself, when i was about 20) but it truly does get better if you want it to, and if you don't let it drown you. Stay strong girl, you can do it, and you can make your 25 yo self proud of where you've been the last 5 years! <3
ah what an awesome video! how do you take these kinda simple ideas and turn them into gold i don't understand. anyway good luck, i love you, i hope i get to meet you some day and give you a hug and chat about happy stuff 😊
Hey Dodie, I hope things will all go well for your 25 year old self. In 5 years I'm gonna be 21. Holy fuck thats so scary. I have almost the same thoughts like you when I think about that...
I made one of these earlier this year. I'm currently 29 and I have a 10 month old daughter. I'm trying to change my life for the better. Who knows what's next! :)
In 5 years I'll be 22. It's so scary to think about that. Also a little bit exciting. I don't even know where I'll be a year from now, let alone 5 years from now. This was such a lovely video and I'll probably think about it a lot while having a bit of an existential crisis. :D
I just want to make you some tea and some sour sweets and hug you and tell you that everything is gonna be ok and that I love you and that you shouldn't worry about the future because it's not something you can change and you're amazing. Also of course you'll still have an audience in 5 years!! I bet it's grown heaps and you're doing amazing and you're in love and you have loads of awesome friends. :)
In 5 years I'll be 20, it's really weird! Just 15 years more and I'm old 😁 (I'll be there when future Dodie will upload her response, tbh: I'm actually already excited)
When I was 13 I wrote a letter to 23 years old me. It was mostly embarassing but also very nice to have a look from that perspective. Most of things didn't happen which I wanted but it's ok because when you're 13 you're just silly :)
I just realized I'm older than you! You're out on your own and have all your shit together and I'm just here at uni still coloring in coloring books and crying over mac and cheese.
I'm 25 in three years... I have no idea where I'll be or what I'll be doing and it all freaks me out, there's like this universal pressure of being expected to have your life in order by then! I just hope that I will be happy and that fairylights and blanket forts are still in my life (lets be honest, what more could you need haha ?)
Doddie, you are wonderful, and you have no idea (or maybe you do) how much you help the people who watch your videos. You are not perfect, and that is what I love about your videos. You are human being and you don't try to show us that you are perfect. Thank you for you video. And you know nothing about me, but believe me, you are a great and you will be greater in 5 or 10 or 50 years. Enjoy your present and make beautiful memories. Cry, laugh, get mad, be human every single day.
In 5 years, I'll be 19. I'll be on my way to University, hopefully. I hope collage was good. I hope I still draw and did subjects I wanted to to rather than those I thought I should do like I've done with my GSCE's. How were they by the way. Good? Bad? Please say you passed Maths. Did you go to America yet? Have you still got your same boyfriend or a new partner. Are they nice? Are they treating you properly? Is your University in England or is it abroad because that's what you want. Do you know what your gender is yet!? Are you happy. Do you still remember what happened? Are you over it yet? How are your parents and friends? Do you still talk to Taf? If not, call her. You told her you would keep doing that. Parents? Grandparents? Have you come out yet? Do that soon. How's life? Do you still watch YouTube. Do you still cringe over how awkward you were at 14? Have you worked out the mystery that is makeup and hair styling. Oh hod please say your hair is better. Do something with it! It's a mess right now. Have you dyed it? Is it a pretty colour? I hope being 19 is good and better than 14. Goodbye. I love you. You should try to love yourself more.
Questions to myself in 5 years time.. (20 year old me) Did you and Freya stay in touch, like you promised you will even though you're going to different colleges? Did you get good GCSE results, were they worth the stress I'm in right now? Was prom good? am I being stupid for worrying about it? Did you make new friends at college? How did your A levels go? Did you go to uni? Is it the one you wanted? How are your siblings? did Rowan become an actor like he wants to? How are the babies doing, they'll be in infant school by now, do they enjoy it? Do you still see mum and dad as often as you want to? Have you got a boyfriend? Where are you living and who with? ARE YOU HAPPY? Love 15 year old me<3
Very very nice video (: I'm sorry to hear about the fact that you don't feel very happy right now. I don't even know you but still..I don't like it when people are sad. I think that doing stuff that makes you happy more helps and I've noticed that whenever I feel down or sad or whatever, I usually feel better when I think back to special memories and then I realise that I want to create more of those and then I knida feel better. I hope this helps anyone that reads this comment :) anyway lovely video
Dear almost 18 year old me, Are you still alive? Did you ever date that one guy you liked? Or that one chick you also liked? Did your anxiety get better? Or worse? Did you get help? How's the family? Friends? Did you skip that grade? Or go to the high school you wanted to go to? Or did you stay at that crappy school? I doubt it. Did you get happier. I hope you did. Will you remember today? Or last week? When that guy confessed his love to you? Or when you nearly had a breakdown in choir? Did things get better? Please tell me they did. Did you get a good job? Do you drive? You have a significant other, don't you? All you do is hug, I bet, and tell each other you love them. Have you eaten anything today? Did you shower? Go drink a glass of water. Now. Stay hydrated. I'll go now. 5 years can really sneak up on you. Make good choices and remember that someone out there loves you. I'm serious. Even though I don't like you, someone does. I promise. 😊 Sincerely, Almost 13 year old you.❤️
I'll be 21. Ugh I worry for the future but want to get the hell away from the present. I hate thinking of stuff like this, I can't believe you made a bloody video about it that will be seen by so many people.
Your skin will get a lot better I can tell you that. The older you get the less oils you produce(you probably knew that) and I'm sure your skin will be very nice by the time you're 25 :^)
In five years I'll be twenty and pretty much all of these thoughts are occurring to me too: has your relationship with your brother been fixed? Have you finally finished a book? Are your parents ok? Is charly still alive? Is nan? Did you actually tell the guy you've been crushing on for two years that you were? Have you met dan and phil? Met carrie again? Met the Yogscast? Still addicted to youtube - not gonna lie, I kinda hope you are. Are the Yogscast still around? Are you still talking with gen and haydn? Will you stay friends after school? Which college did you go to? Are you going/been to university? Have you finally decided on a favourite song? Did anything you were stressing about during school matter? Omg so much xx
In 5 years I'll be 19 D: I'm so scared too about the future and the like and oh I'm sorry you got uncomfortable. usually I just drink tea and watch something nice or read a book or go to the park when I think about the future because I get all bad in my tummy. I hope 20 year old Dodie is okay and will get better, I'm sorry you're unhappy mostly. That must suck. I hope you had fun at Jaime's wedding! it was through her I found out about you, and you're lovely <3 I like your music a lot, you've written plenty of nice songs. have a nice day :D
in 5 years i'll be 21, and it's terrifying because everything is going to change so drastically, like i won't be talking to any of my old friends i probably won't even be living where i am by then??? idek what im going to do in those 5 years OH LORD
in 5 years i'll be 22. I don't know what to say to her. I hope you don't get horribly mad at mum. I hope your still friends with rachelle. I hope you see Keely get her karma. I hope you get to travel (maybe with maria) or have travelled already as thats the only thing you want to do. I hope you are very good to Abbey. I don't know i guess i just hope a lot of things.
In 5 years I'll be eighteen. That scares the shit out of me, but in five years time, when I am eighteen, I'll still watch your videos. I'll still freak out when you notice me. Maybe in five years time we'll know each other. Maybe we'll be friends. Oh god oh god I'm going tO gO nOw
Ooo that is a scary thought... I'm just a few years from 25 and I am scared at where my life could be... excited but scared it's not how I planned it... in a bad way.
Hmmm, this video actually made me anxious... I think you need to relax and take some deep breaths. Whatever happens, good or bad there's no point worrying about the future now... I mean... every time you do that you waste energy and emotions when you could be in the moment, focusing on something which makes you smile, going for a walk, texting someone you love, dreaming.... knitting! :-)
ah dodie you worry too much :') like you said, it's only 5 years. but i do agree.... the future is pretty scary. echoing a comment further down, but future dodie and present dodie and even past dodie (should she need it) can call me anytime. always up for a disney marathon and tea binge to forget about any "tenses" or future inevitabilities ^_^
In 5 years I'll be 20 almost 21 Are you still friends with your friends Have you finally meet your internet friend that you will have known for like 5years then Are you in a nice apartment and made a little baking shop that you dream of Made a creative YouTube channel like as a hobbit because making a video is rlly fun for you Did you manage to go to New York with you best friend alone and somehow trick your parents Are you happy. I hope your well ;-; DODIE how do you DEAL WITH THIS OMG
You are precious and you worry too much. LOL Five years will go by so so fast so take your time. Savor every single moment of your amazing, lovely life. You are beautiful and full of all the good things!!! Do not spend your time being too sad, although sadness can sometimes trap you, distract your mind with things and people that you love to help keep the darkness away. If that doesn't work, find a good therapist!! Sometimes simply talking to someone is SO SO helpful!! Also, it can take a few tries to find a therapist that you actually "click" with, so if you don't feel comfortable with the first one or the second one...try try again!! It's worth it, no one should wander through life with sadness in their heart. You're too wonderful a person!! Sorry for the long comment, I'm such a huge fan, I just want to see you succeed in everything you do! xoxo
I hope you are able to find this comment again I hope you are happy and have fixed things with people How was school? Are you in a college or uni yet? Have you had a relationship yet? How is everyone Did you get your hair cut? Have you gotten to meet some of your idols yet? (If not get on it) Are you still scared? And what is your favourite book And your favourite tea, and place
Oh, wow, I've just now realized (from the comments) that I'm a bit older than the rest of your audience... And in 5 years time, I'll be 30! Which is really scary. But my life's going well since I left high school, and I hope this continues (and will work on it ;)) If my 25 year old self right now could give my 20 year old self advice... there's 2: 1.) don't stress yourself over anything, you'll develop allergies... 2.) if a boy is being an asshole, just drop him, he's not worth your time
Ok, in 5 years I'll be 25 too. Will I look at my photos from this period and find them super cringy? What happened to all my family? And my friends? Will I have a job? Will I will be still studying for my master's degree? OH GOD PLEASE TELL ME I'M DONE WITH UNI, PLEASE.
5 Years from now I'll be 25. And oh God I don't know where I'll be I don't even know where I want to be one year from now. I just hope I'll still be in touch with my best friends from now
Dear Dodie, you probably won't see this but damn, in 5 years time I will be 20, takes a moment for self to let that sink in I will be an adult? I can't be an adult? The future terrifies me even more that the present does but I guess there's really nothing I can do until then but live and try my best (dear future Megan please try your very best in your leaving cert exams they are very important and you want an amazing artsy career and to live in a kickass house with a fish tank in the wall right?) so I'm trying not to worry about it and you should too because currently I watch and rewatch your videos because you are twenty, the me stage of 5 years and you've done pretty great with your YouTube and music along with being super talented so if I turn out half as good as you I'll be fine
5 years ago, I was 12. Jesus Christ, I have changed so much since 2010. It seems like an eternity away! But then again nothing has changed. Time is the weirdest thing... Who knows what any of us will be doing in 5 years?! We might be all dead cause the earth was destroyed by an astroid. Or aliens. Or nuclear weapons. Wow this is getting darker than I intended. Anywho, see you in 5 years, 25 year old Dodie. (Yes, 23 year old me will definetely be watching you if you still exist on this platform!
This Video is so on point. 5 years is actually not that far away and i think i fear the future as much as i am excited about it. I wish for so many good things to happen. But at the same time i am so afraid of waking up in 5 years, maybe looking back on this video or what i was doing now, and realizing that my life, the path i chose for myself does not make me happy or would disappoint my "old" self. Future is such a scary thing because there are so many possibilities and everything can change in the next couple of days, weeks and years. I really loved how you thought about everyone else as well as your own future, i think i'm way too focused on what i could mess up about my future right now to even think about still being friends with the same people. The only thing i wish is that i finally am able to cut toxic people out of my life in the next couple of months. If you see this comment in 5 years, even though you may not be doing youtube anymore (i sincerely hope that is not the case!), please know that 20-year old Dodie was a perfect human being even in her flaws and that you inspired lots of people. I'm glad you made this video, you are really giving me something to think about.
Also, I honestly loved you singing that line from wicked. Can we have a Wicked-Mash up or something one day?
In 5 years time I'll be 19. I wonder if 19 year old me is happy and on her way to being successful in music. I wonder if my YouTube channel has grown? I'm very curious.
I'm 15 now and in 5 years I'll be 20 so that's super scary!! I don't want to be 20 I like my life rn, will i even be happy in 5 years?? Will I have the same friends?? Where am I going to college!?!? Ahhhh I'm about to go make a "dear 20 year old Jamie" video
Hi 25 year old Dodie, You better make a reply video to this - regardless of weather you still youtube or not (Pls youtube forever ily). Omg I'll be 24 in 5yrs ahhh D: and baby sister will be 19 wtf :o Can't I be 19 forever?!
The way you are feeling is exactly how I'm feeling!:( Dodie you are just so amazing and I bet wherever and whatever 25 year old dodie is doing she's being great too<3
I'm basically in the same emotional state as you, and it made it even more aaaaaaaaah*headdesk* because I'm also 20. I wonder if I'm in law school at 25.. or working for a non-profit, or working in the government.. hopefully Bernie is the president.. oh gosh. Also, I hope I've met you by the time I'm 25, that would be quite cool.
I'm gonna make it one of my goals that even if I go off YouTube in the next 5 years, I'll watch the response from 25 years old Dodie and let her know that 20 years old Dodie is one of my favorite people and 25 years old Dodie will still be one of my favorites :)
i frickin love you dodie and i'm sure your future will go amazingly (is that a word?). if you're worried about people losing interest in your videos and your social media, (you may say i can't guarantee it) but i will watch your videos until the end, and that is a fact and a promise. i really hope you're happy in 5 years time because you really deserve it <3
So crazy, I just did this yesterday! My poetry teacher had us write letters to ourselves to be opened 5 years from now. I'm also 20 and my letter was almost identical. I'm really so glad that you did this because I was feeling super shitty about being sad al the time but wanting to be successful, but I see I'm not the only one. Also the love of your life one, I feel that!
I'll be 23 in 5 years and i can't imagine how my life will be, really. At least i hope you still be "part" of my life because you are such a great inspiration and a good singer :)
I feel you, I'll be 25 in five years too... That sounds so creepy. I just hope my future me handles everything better than present me (probably wishful thinking though).
Dodie you are my most favorite human. I just love your voice and face and words and thoughts! I hope you're happy in 5 years but also in 5 days. Or 5 seconds! #future Anyway thanks for being so lovely. That's all!
Oh my god, just yesterday I was writing a letter to myself to read the day before I'm going to be (hopefully) leaving to go to university, which is one year from now and I was literally crying because I felt so scared of what will change until then... I totally get you Dodie. The future is scary ugh.
Hey Dodie, what would you say to teenage chronic illness fighters? Just wondering as it's something I don't hear spoken about that often, awesome video!
In 5 years time, I'll be 27! OMG I swear I'll be there (if I'm still alive) and I'll be watching this video and tweeting it to you so you can re-watch it and reply :) I'll always support you, your music, and your choices. I'll always be a fan, and I hope one day I'll be more than a fan, a friend or a film maker and work with you on some music videos and movies :D
I love what you're wearing in this video, also videos and things like this are so fascinating to me?? I really enjoyed getting an insight into you through this, and I know I enjoy having this sort of insight with myself every once in a while. The past two years, I used an email server I think called DearFutureMe, and sent an email to myself about how and who I was then to be delivered the following year. I cannot wait to get the next one, and keep doing it and watch as they evolve over the years as I do. This seems like this to me, but on more public scale. Was that frightening for you? At all? I am curious. Have a lovely day!
+Jenna W (Now that I have finished the video, I understand and empathize with your fear a lot. Probably because we are the same age, but yeah. I am very afraid for the future and whatever it has in store for me. But I hope it's good. I hope it's good for a lot of people. And I hope that both of us are happy. At last. That would be nice.)
This made me so emotional when she said she wasn't happy because I want to give her such a long hug she is perfect and dodie if you see this please I mean you deserve to be happy so much ily xoxoxoxo
I loved this so much! :D I should make one myself just because I am terrified how my life will be in 5 years and if I tell myself now that I should do something productive for the future... Who knows, it might work ;)
Haha this was so cute and funny. I also spend most of my time trying to motivate myself in terms of my music haha. I'll teach you guitar ;) jk and you're "puge thing" is nice haha :) stay awesome
Dear 19 year old me, I hope your illness is cured, and you are still watching youtubers like lovely Dodie, and you've actually done well at school. Have you met internet friends? I bloody well hope so! Also, I really hope ur truly happy. Sincerely, fourteen year old me (blooming hell this is scary)
This was so cute and scary and a beautiful video! In five years i'll be 23... I hope to have a degree (in something that i love) i hope to be in another house, who knows maybe in another country. It would be nice to be in love but I just hope I'll be happy and enjoying life 😊
P.s. I really hope you will still be doing videos and MUSIC of course ❤️
I'm turning 27 in less than a month (think I'm one of the oldest here reading the comments). 20 seems like both a lifetime ago and no time at all. Don't be scared of getting older, yes things change, but so much good can happen in that time too. I went from being an often depressed, single student to someone who has their own (albeit small) business and who is happier much much more often than sad. Be excited for the fun, exciting and life changing things to happen. The best thing I've found from age is that the longer you spend in your body, the more comfortable in your own skin you become 💜
In 5 years I'll be 23... Ouch that's a lot. I kind of want to make a video like this, and I'm also kind of terrified. I haven't watched your videos for a long time Doddie, but you're so lovely that I don't think you'll ever loose your audience. Even if you change, if your channel's content changes, I don't think people will loose interest in you. Wishing you the best! :)
I'm excited for 25 year old Dodie to respond to this video. It's like a video time capsule. Also, Dodie why have you made me reflect on my own life??? Stop that immediately
So Dodie, I will be you current age in 5 years. Yeah, I'm fifteen now, and you are one of those essential persons in life who taught me to live life fully cuz before I know I'll be twenty ieeeh. ❤️ get mentally well soon Dodie! I hope you will be happy soon.
It made me incredibly happy when you said does Hedy have a boyfriend or Girlfriend because you aren't pushing the idea of her might wanting a girlfriend out the way .......thanking you muchly 😀
I promise in 5 years I will still listen to all your songs, learn the lyrics, sing them (badly) and refresh my subscription box every half hour hoping for a new video :-)
I'll be 22 in 5 years... also... 25 is still young!!!! That age sounds very young still to me as a teenager... And maybe you won't be where you hoped you would be in the future, but maybe there'll be something even better by that time that you could never have foreseen and you'll be even happier!
I made one of these for myself 10 years in the future but I didn't even think about how sad things could be! Now I'm really stressed!! That being said, I really liked how you approached this in a very real and curious way. It's cool because you'll be able to see what was important to you at this stage in your life when you watch in the future!
2:38 Hahahaha that was so cute XD also, I'm also 20 and my boyfriend pointed out wrinkles (well "smile lines") on my face the other day ahahahahaha...ha.....ha. I never cared about wrinkles until that point (though to be honest I'm returning to not caring quite quickly!)
I'll be nineteen in five years. there's so much I want for myself at that age, and in reality it's so scary because it seems like two minutes away. right now I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up and it really scares me that in five years I'll probably be on my way to doing it
Dear 20 year old me: I hope you've found friends who respect you and that you've successfully moved on from your friendships that ended badly. I hope you've learned to hang out with people who will treat you how you deserve to be treated, instead of going back to the old friends who have hurt you. I hope your fear of commitment has gotten better, since recently you went through a terrible breakup that completely crushed your hope of ever finding people you can trust. I hope you don't feel isolated and alone and unable to trust anybody. I hope you're happier than you are right now. I hope you know that everything will turn out okay. - your naive 15 year old self
this is so odd for me to watch because I'm 15 now, and I look up to you (20 year old dodie), and when you rewatch this video at 25, I'll be the age you were in this video wOAH FBDSJDJSNDN
Im turning 25 soon and believe me, I still feel as if it was yesterday that I was 15. I cant believe im actually (almost) 25. And you know what the scary part is... In another 5 years ill be 30.THE HORROR...
I really loved this video because at some points you are really scarred but then you thought about excitng stuff like being in love, buying a house etc. and I think that's what the future is supposed to be: scary but also with great potential for good things to happen :)
five years from today ill be "almost" 22. god. i hope that college was nice. i hope you are mentally healthy and in a happy place. i hope that you have a job that you enjoy or at least a job that you do not hate. i hope you are finacially stable and comfortable. i hope that you love yourself. i hope your makeup has improved but if it hasnt its ok cause its already great :D. i hope you are not too grown up to enjoy the little things in life. i genuinely hope that you are happy. love from me, at "almost" 17. <3
Dear 18 year old me, I hope you got out of your bad habits. More importantly, that you're still alive. Present day you isn't doing so good, you know. You're losing your mind as we speak, I swear. I hope you're really happy, and finally doing what you want to do without feeling pressured to do others. How's the father situation? Better than present day, I sure hope. I hope that you have met Dan and Phil, Evan and Dodie, Troye and Tyler, and all the other YouTubers who you watched to get through a day. Oh, hey? Have you seen my bronze hair-clip yet?? It's been missing for a while. Do you feel comfortable yet? When are you going on that roadtrip with your friend? When are you moving in with your other friend? When will you ever get around to cleaning, dammit!? Are you over your anxiety yet? Probably not, you weren't one to ever try too hard to fix things manually. What a shame. I really hope your singing has improved, and your ukulele. God, you're awful in present day. Let me know how you're doing.
You are such a wonderful person, and I believe you are that also off the internet! And please don't get a nose job you really don't need one. And @20-year-old me: WATCH THIS!!!
In 5 years I'll be 20, thats just crazy! I haven't had the courage to talk about my future since when my depression started, which is now around 2,5 years ago, because I never thought I'd still be there right now. But here I am, 15 and still depressed, but hey, at least I'm still here. And I hope my 20 year old me will still be here too in 5 years, because I'm starting to appreciate life more and more every single day. Just make the most out of it, and if life gives you lemons, gosh, squeeze them hard!! 🙃 You can do it. X
I'll be here, well I hope so. Gosh, I'll be 22 in 5 years; I hope that I'll still be watching YouTube videos in 5 years....wow this topic is really mind boggling , it's so weird to think about the future in is way ✨
I was like "maybe I should do something like this" and then i realized in 5 years I will be in my senior year of high school and oh my god that's scary i don't want to be an adult
I've just realised that Dodie is only 5 years older than me and that scares me because I have no clue what I want to do with my life. If 20 year old Holly is reading this I hope you've figured out your life a bit more and I hope you're happy
watching this was first like wow that's so cool watching you probably end up speaking to yourself and comparing yourself what a cool idea and then I was like. In five years I'LL be twenty. will I still watch your videos? Will I be a fan? Will I have met you? Will you YouTube? Tugujunfjdjfgi
For a coule of seconds after seeing the title of this video I thought "cool, I should try that!" Then I remembered this will happen in a few months for me :S
Here's some advice for you Dodie: Have no fear for the future. You can't predict what will happen, good or bad. Life is short too worry about the unknown ahead. So just take it in your stride and be happy. :)
Dear 24 year old Kate. How's life? Did you graduate with the grade you wanted? Do you have a job you love? Are you living with/still in a relationship with the boyfriend you had at 19? 19 year old Kate certainly hopes so. Have you sorted things with you mum? I hope you have done that too. Have you become more confident in yourself? Do you still worry what other people think of you? Do you have your own place? And a cat? I hope you still love cats. But most of all I hope you're happy and in a good place. Lots of love, 19 year old Kate xxx
CRUD IN FIVE YEARS TIME ILL BE AN ADULT. ILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN DESCISIONS AND STUFF CRUD CRUD CRUD On another note, I sat in front of the computer screen flapping my arms like an excited seal at that Wicked refrence. Oh, I'd probably explode with happiness if Dodie did a Wicked cover!! By the way, Dodie, in five years time, I'll definitely still be here 😉
Dear 19 year old me, you better still be watching dodie so that when she makes the reaction to this video u can come back to the original and (hopefully) see this comment :))
"what if you've died" jesus christ dodie ofmdkdm dont put that image in our minds i lov u lots <3 im so interested to see how you've changed in 5 years and i hope youtube is still a big thing bc that would be nice to see & a comparison between this video & the next one would be fab x
I think its funny how people say "never change" because that's exactly whats supposed to happen. Your unhappy most the time right now, which is sad but i bet it will be better in the future. Its okay to be afraid of the future but you have to allow it to come, and let it change you. Because you have gone through a lot to get you were you are right now, and although sometimes it doesn't feel as amazing eventually it will!
Dear 18 year old me, How are you? Are you good? I hope so Did you get good gcse's? Did you pass drama! I hope you've passed drama Have you been in a theatre production yet? I hope you've met Dodie, Dan, Phil , Evan , jack and Mark! Love , 13 year old me
dear 22 year old me have you survived school? does your family still come together as much as they do now? (if they don't shame on you arrange something) Have you found a nice guy? Are you having the most amazing university life ever? Do you have a dog? Hows emily (she is still your best friend obviously) have you stayed in touch with your amazing friends ? Are you happy ? Much love 17 year old you
Im 27 in 5 years, well, almost 28, birthday is in December :) But it will be so cool to see the reply to this video in 5 years....bet you it'll fly by in a blink ;) And dont worry, you'll be fine! xx
I'm 14 right now and one of my biggest fears is growing old. Nothing terrifies more than thinking about when I'm old. When I'm 70 and I'm helpless. I will constantly need a nurse to look after me or I have no family left. My passion for music has been long dead because I thought I should get an office job in some shit company. I'm so scared.
dear 19 year old me, you better be watching this video to read this psh and you better still be watching dodie so she doesn't have to work in an office ok go watch more dodie videos
hope you're okay after this video btw, idk if anyone has already said that, but thats some heavy shiz and idk if its going to be on your mind. get those thoughts out of your mind and busy yourself. ily and stay healthy and happy xx
This is the reason I love Dodie, she's confident in herself and is not too terrified to make this video. I honestly think you are perfect and always will be. Please never give up on social media, it's where you belong. Lots of love as ever xxxxxxx
i'm si saad you alway think such thoughts, i'll try to send you positive energies but try not to worry about death, i mean everyone does it's not that big of a deal
Im only like 14 and im TERRIFIED of the future it makes me emotional just thinking about it gahhh.Just wish that like so far of my life is just a dream and i will just wakeup as a baby(lol)
just wondering i was watching your old videos on this channel and there is one where you shout 'IAIN FOR FUCK'S SAKE' - one of my favourite moments btw XD - do you have a brother? it's just you never talk about having one but you do talk about Hedy sorry if there's a personal reason or something i'm just curious :)
Ohh Dodie. I want to hug you so much. And tell you, that life gets better... but you know that very well! It comes and goes in waves... And I know your life is not my life. And your experience are not the same as mine. And probably we are nothing alike. And these words will mean so much less to you than they mean to me. But I remember being 20, (and the memory I have of myself at this age seems like it is pretty similar to the Dodie in this video and realizing that hurts a bit because I want to hug 20 years old me very much right now, tell her to breath and telling her that it alright...) I remember being 25, as well, (it's really not long ago at all) and the world laying between... all the things I did, I stood on mountains and I cried under my desk. I can barely grasp it, so much has changed. And that is more frighting than anything, I know that very well. Time passing is sooo frighting. Life can be so incredibly frighting. But it is so beautiful as well when you take each day as it comes and make the best of it. Enjoy the way, not the goals! (These boring old words. I am sorry...)
I hope your journey will be incredibly beautiful!!! I really, really do!
i'll be 22 in 5 years oh god i hope i've got a degree know what im doing with my life maybe a lover a good job and a nice house and a dog and great friends
I wrote a letter to my future self. I'm not sure where it is but I'm sure I will find it one day. I mostly told myself about where I was then (like year ago?) that I hoped I was better, more okay, but even if I wasn't, that's okay too. I feel like in this video you put a lot of pressure on your future self. Like, in a fun and excited way, but I guess maybe you wouldn't ever see that as pressure. I remember writing my letter and concioisly trying not to do that. In case future me read it and felt like she had failed her younger self. I wrote a lot about how far I have come already, and how even if there are still shitty things in the future, I've always been able to get through it and that future me is no different. That if I have a job or a career, that's great! That's like, the biggest achievement ever (I've been unable to work for years due to mental health). But if I don't, that's totally fine too and we will probably get there one day! I think mostly, I wrote to myself and told myself that this is where I am now, and wherever I am in the future, that's okay. If I'm reading it, I'm alive, and that's so wonderful and more than I could ever dream of.
It scares me to think about my future. Im 14 years old and in 5 years I hopefully will be out of school. Travelling through Europe and The USA. Maybe I would volunteer in Africa or maybe I live in New Sealand. My little brother is 12 now and than he will be 17. What the heck?! In 5 years... Will my brother ever grow up? Is my grand dad still alive? (I dont think so, because he has cancer and there is nearly no time for him) But the last, but not least question: Do we have Hoverboard in 2020? Jule, 14years old p.s. Are Dan and Phil out to the Phandom in 2020?
WOW this scared me too but seriously Dodie stop worrying that you won't be relevant in 5 years, your young and your Channel is only getting bigger and bigger. You will be still be around
it makes me feel better that you have the same fear of the future and death and shit like me but it makes me feel worse becauseeeeeeeeee i want you to be happy ok bye ily
holy shit in 5 years I'll be 20 wtf i'm a freshman? wow. i hope i mature. five years seem like nothing, but a lot can happen. ohmygod??? my grandparents will be dead? THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT
This is so scary and exciting at the same time omfg ahhh asdfghjkjhgfd might do one to like my 21 year old me hehe :D 21 year old me: YOU BETTER STILL BE WATCHING DODIE VIDEOS
QUESTION TO 25YR OLD DODIE: I HOPE WE BECAME FRIENDS OR ARE FRIENDS OMFGG WHATTT OR LIKE IDK YOU STILL REMEMBER ME SPAMMING YOU ON TWITTER AND COVERING YOUR SONGS (rlly badly omg) LOLOL AND HOPE YOU ARE WELL AND IF YOURE STILL MAKING VIDEOS IM SURE IM STILL THERE :DDD
Hi! How are you? Are you good? IS HUNTER GOOD? What about Jaxon? He's like 8 now, how's that going? How's mom? How's dad? Did Dad and Kara get married, or break up? Did Mom and Adam get married? Did you move in with your best friend? Have you applied/got excepted into Emerson? DID YOU FINISH ALL OF THOSE BOOK SERIES YOU SHAMEFULLY HAVENT FINISHED YET? coughharrypottercough Did you meet Dodie yet? Dan? Phil? Evan? Pj? Chris? Sasha? Do you have a boyfriend??!?!?!?!? OH MY GOD. Did you end up living with your mom or your dad? Have you figured out why you felt sad all the time? Did you get over that? HOW WAS PINOF 12 OH MY GOD TELL ME IT WAS AMAZING AND THEY ARE STILL BEST FRIENDS Did you finally learn how to play piano, uke, and guitar? Pls say you have. Are you vegan, vegatarian? Where does your family live? OH GOD HOW IS GRANDPA JIM IS HE FINE WHAT ABOUT GRANDMA JANET?
In five years i'll be 18. Oh my god, what if I don't graduate high school? Do I continue with Spanish? Or do I stop by freshman year? because right now is bad. Do I find out what sexuality I am? Or will I never know? Am I still friends with all of my friends now? Did anyone move? Do I know what I want to do with my life? What colleges do I want to go to? Do I still play the cello? Please say I get into some fancy music school. Are you better at talking to people? Do you feel confident in yourself?(because that's not happening for me right now) Did you get an A in 7th grade Spanish? Or did you fail and have to repeat the year over again? Does anyone love you that you didn't know existed when you were 13? Do you still watch YouTube? Please tell me you didn't try YouTubeRed because if you did then you must not have a social life, you barely do now but thats still a social life. Have you gone outside of the continent? Have you gone to at least one YouTube convention? because I know you wanted to do that when you turned 15 or 16. How was the "fantastic beasts and where to find them" show? Do you still like Harry Potter? Have Dan and Phil gotten married yet? How many more oscar's hotel are there? Did you find a talent? Or something your really good at? Is Donald Trump president? Is there a WW3? If he is president, did you move to Canada like you said? What about England? Are you better at sports? Do you have more anxiety because of high school? How long is your hair? Is it still a pixie cut or are you growing it out again? ok, see you in 5 years future self, I wonder if you'll see this... If you do today was a half day, someone farted on the bus and arctus told kate that she had a crush on her. It's also the day they selled plastic poppy's at school. You are 5'8, your hair is kinda shaved on the sides, and you own hogwarts leggings.You've been playing the cello for about 4 years, you have the awesomest friends in the entire world that are just as weird as you, and you have an IPhone 5(do you ever get a 6s?)
Cute cute cute! I remember you living in bath! That's when I first started watching you and Jamie, it's incredible to see how far you've come, I can't wait to see how much you've achieved when your 25. YOUVE DEFINITELY MAKE INCREDIBLE SONGS!! Silly billy. I love all of your songs! I hope you feel happier soon! Because you deserve it! Hedy is going to be a wonderful young lady, I don't doubt that one bit! 💜 Love you lots!
Assuming youtube doesn't go down all together, I'm sure you'll still have an audience then. I bet there's loads of people like me out there that just cling to everything from their past and know that if they love something now, they'll probs love it forever <3 can't wait to see where you're at by the time you can respond to this! This is gonna sound stupid but I hope that in 5 years I'll have done well enough at youtube that we'll sort of be acquaintances by then :P
You know there's a thing to improve skin quality. An oil thing. I know it's weird to wash your skin with oil but it actually works apparently. I saw it on Cammies own channel (from Shannon and cammie) you should check it out !
I'm so happy to have seen this the day it came out and hopefully see the reply on the day that's out! (ik you think you wont have an audience but I will still watch you tbh because your videos make me so happy lol lame) anyway this was a really cool video and I like it a lot - in 5 years I will be 20 omg thats scary gosh
Dear 25 year old me: wow you were such a baby then though you sure thought you were fully grown and mature. You knew nothing and were depressed and afraid of the future. Now, the future is exciting and literally everything only gets better. Your skin's gotten better, your mentality has gotten better, your self esteem, your relationship with yourself and with your parents, your priorities, your job, your body, your interior decorating skills, your intellect, your understanding of things in general and of yourself- literally all of that's gotten better. And it's only been 3 years! Your 20s were okay but your 30s are going to be awesome. Here's hoping you never get pregnant!
hugs forever but like, "unhappy in the present", me :~( I hope people are still on youtube- though im sure it's probably branched out into much much muuuuch bigger things in five years?? maybe, idk the future is scary
It's only been 3 years so far but it is safe to assume nothing will change to drastically. Everything is basically the same apart from your experiences and maturity

Dear twenty-year-old Dodie, if you want to be happy you need to stop spending so much time thinking and talking about yourself, get out and do something for others and I guarantee you you will become happy. Yours is a generation of self-centeredness like no other generation ever. That's why you're so unhappy. It is only by giving to others your time your treasure your talents that you can ever be truly happy. Trust me on this I'm 63, I love your music, I teach it to my students and I know what I'm talking about. God bless you young girl, now get out there and do something for somebody and stop thinking about yourself so much ♡
If 25 year old Dodie is reading comments, tell her to give me a call. No matter when or where or how long it's been!

+Nevirr Ranch i know everyone should be accepting but she doesn't seem to have heteronormative views the way most would and doesn't assume her sister to be straight

7 likesLauren Power you should assume that someone is Straight until told otherwise. This is because the vast majority of people are straight . That's the whole point of ' coming out '
1 like+Hakem Yasin but why should you? When I have kids I won't assume until I'm told their sexuality which could make it much less difficult to come out. The majority are somewhere imbetween
8 likesLauren Power NO the majority are straight and that's a fact . You have to assume they're straight because it'll make every sentence talking about them longer. There isn't a need for that . You can tell them you don't mind if they are indeed Gay but you have to assume they arnt .
3 likes+Hakem Yasin people can say they wouldn't mind but it still hurts constantly hearing "who is he" when you refuse to say who your crush is. I feel like you don't really understand how it feels. It isn't even that difficult to just use gender neutral pronouns when talking about crushes etc.
28 likesThere have been studies claiming all women are turned on when shown both men and women, even those who claim to be straight. It's much more likely everyone is somewhere imbetween than just gay, straight, or bi and the amount of depressed/suicidal teens because of their sexuality could be decreased if people didn't make assumptions.
I like that!
0 likesBy assuming their sexuality, it feels like you are doubting them, or putting them into a box made by goodness knows who, and the more you doubt people, the more they start doubting themselves, and sometimes as it builds up inside you, you become so unsure of who you are, that you feel you are no one. So by assuming people are straight, it can really throw them off, and make them feel like they should be something that not all of the time they are.
13 likesLauren Power I liked that part

13 likesOh Dodie, I am old, very old,, in fact you might say "an auld phart",, My lovely daughter Chloe is a fan of yours and introduced me to you and your music earlier this year, (my favorite is Rusty and yourself singing Novels)
131 likesLet me tell you and ALL YOU PEOPLE that read your posts, you are all at a very special and wonderful time of your lives, the biggest problem a lot of you have is the way you view your lives, speaking from experience, with the luxury of looking a long way back, you need to grasp these years. when you look back at the years you tend to rose colour the past, and this can cause you to miss this moment, the here and now.
As for you lil Miss Dodie, a lot of your followers would give anything to have your talent, your popularity, but by missing the past, you are missing the now, and fearing the future certainly won't bring you peace of mind, you need to relax and allow yourself to enjoy your life as you are living it. believe me when you are 25 you will miss when you where 20 etc etc, although when you are living it, you feel that you aren't completely enjoying being 20. These thought patterns will follow you all through your life if you don't work on changing the way you think now. It really is just a state of mind.
Now I know that because I am old, all you may be hearing is blah blah blah, but trust my experience, I have missed the past all of my life, and it has done more bad than good, although reminiscing can good.. if not being used to judge the past against the present
Live for the moment, enjoy the moment..
Dodie, keep on entertaining the multitudes because you do give happiness and a feeling of belonging to hundreds of thousands of people, young and old around the world. You are in a very special position, take the credit for it, understand the good you do, and be very very proud, and in turn happy x
Cheers
Chloe's dad (aka Auld Phart)

0 likesI first watched this video when I was 16, and I thought “I wonder how I’ll feel about all of these things! How will changes happen in my life - I cant wait to be older and successful and cool!”
Needless to say some of that has happened. I still have these doubts and fears though and the idea that I’m now this age throws me for a loop. I’m still scared of the future. I still want to be cool.
But when dodie asks “are you still touring? I bet your audience is gone.” And I think of the packed house I was a part of in Atlanta in October I’m filled with so much personal hope.
I’m watching this as a refresher before I watch dodies newest video and I’m so excited for her to look back on her success and to see the progress she’s made. I’m so fucking proud of dodie but also? I can see for myself how great my life can be. The future is uncertain and because of this we may predict major, terrible changes. But there will be wonderful changes too. It’s so exciting. 💖
Just imagine dodie stopped making YouTube, social media and everything in this 5 years and now all her fans sitting sobbing infront of their phone because we miss her so much...♥️

0 likesDear 25 year old Gina:
2 likesi hope you're happy now. i hope you've found someone you love, and maybe you've bought an english longboat, and spent a good long time appreciating life on river canals of England. it might be teeny-tiny but cosy and an adventure every day. I hope you read a lot of books and have become best friends with Dodie, Evan, Candice and Bry because they're cool and you like them. i hope you've decided on a career you like, because you have no clue what you want to do at the moment and you never want to leave school because you love it, and you don't want to say good-bye to the friends, teachers and classmates you love spending time with everyday. looking back, hopefully you will be happy that moving on wouldn't have been as big of a deal as you think it will be at the moment. Think back to your year 12 musical... did it go well? i hope you didn't forget any lines! but if you did, that's okay :) Are you still living at home? or have you found somewhere else? have you visited America yet, or are you still scared? by this time i think Max will have passed... i hope you dealt with that okay... I'll give him a cuddle for you right now goes outside to give dog a cuddle . I really hope my parents are okay - please tell them you love them every day, and do lots of nice things for them. Have you done anything to make me proud yet? anything to leave your own stamp on the world? Are you still friends with my teachers? i hope so. Have you opened our time capsule yet? Are you still scared of all the things i am at the moment? Did he reply to your letter???? (!!!) i really wonder what he said! Do you have children (omg omg omg!!!) or maybe your expecting? Do Joey and Phoebe ever get together? Do you still play the flute? have you learnt any new instruments? how about your hair? is it short or long, because at the moment it's long. Do you go camping a lot? ooh! do you have a land rover yet? do you still want one? Did you get into WAAPA? are you doing musical theatre? ever been on TV? are you still learning Italian, Spanish and German? maybe you're fluent now - how cool would that be! Do you still have a sweet tooth? are you fat? Do you drink alcohol? Are you still involved in scouts? How about that thing that's niggling at you? has that stopped now? (please say it has!). Do you still have your journal? have you started a new one? Is Doctor who still going? has there been a female doctor? The doctor at the moment is Peter Capaldi, and his new companion Bill has just joined him.
Tips for future me:
-spend wisely
-go outside at least once a day
-read the fine print
-stay in contact with the people you love
-eat healthily
-don't be afraid to be a kid again, i expect you to have ridden the carousel in the zoo at least twice by now!
-drink slowly so you don't spill your drink all over yourself
-be yourself. always (unless your impersonating characters from TV aha ---- allonsy!)
so yeah, it is currently 2:57pm in Perth Australia. the date is 23/4/17 and i am wearing a white t-shirt and harem pants.

0 likesWhen I was 14 I wrote a letter to 24 year old me, I (of course) genuinely forgot what I had written so it was super interesting to see what 14 year old me thought my life would be like. I thought I would have traveled more but mostly my depressed and lonely teenage-self just hoped that I would be a happy adult, that I had friends and love and a purpose, and all those things did happen, sooner or later.
0 likesWell, it's 7/2/17 and you're currently getting therapy and it's going quite well and you're now saying how excited and happy you are in your current videos! You're so much better now, Dodie, your smile isn't fake anymore!

I don't want to tell you that your sadness will fade as time goes on, because that's just a shitty way of invalidating your emotions and is completely out of touch with the reality of life. None of us know if any of us will be happy in five years. What I hope you know is that you are loved, certainly more than you can comprehend. While I reject this bullshit, Hollywood notion that love is a fix all solution for brokenness, I promise you that no matter where you are now or at 25 you will never have to be sad alone.

-are you happy?
I’m curious :)
You're absolutely a pleasure to watch and an honest breath of fresh air on the interwebs, perhaps even the BEST thing on the interwebs right now! Thank you for being so honest and so vulnerable, there is nothing lovelier than that. You have a big heart, and your sentimentality is something you should hold onto tightly because it will almost always steer you in the right direction, even when it doesn't seem so. Just know that you're wise beyond your years, but sometimes wisdom comes with an uncomfortable dose of worry and concern. Give it a nod, but try not to let it keep you down for long because there is far too much waiting for you in this world. You've already touched so many people's hearts and you will continue to accomplish so many wonderful things in the coming years. I can't wait to see how much you'll conquer in the next five years. Thanks for letting us tag along. <3

I hope everything works out for Felicity, she deserves it; Are you making other people happy, as well as yourself? did you donate your hair when you were 16, I hope you did, I'm not putting off dyeing it for 16 years just so you can be selfish and not donate it. Also, have you met those emo bands you're into now, how is Good Charlotte's album? Has MCR come back yet? Will ØSØM be everything you hoped it'd be?

Like let me explain myself. so much has changed in this time already. Honestly you've been on a tour, you have an ep coming, you've had your skin sorted (which I'm not saying is bad I'm just saying because you asked if it was still 'shit' as you put it BUT I LOVE IT) and you're great at guitar. And that's only in a year. Well done Dodie

1 likeAbout the nose job: Dodie, if you really really hate your nose so much that you find it hard to recognize yourself in the mirror, then go for it. I got a nose job a year ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. I am so much more self-confident now and I actually see myself in the mirror, not a monster with a big nose. My nose used to be quite a bit bigger than yours and I was crooked and it made me feel horrible. You are beautiful just the way you are, Dodie, but this is just my experience
0 likes(and as you may know that getting rhinoplasty isn't about "learning to accept and love yourself", it's about actually seeing YOURSELF in the mirror. My nose used to be small when i was younger, and then it just grew so quickly that i couldn't even get used to it) ♥♥♥

What's your major? How's your family? Are you happy? Are you still in therapy? Have you cut your hair yet? Are you vegan yet? Are you dating anyone? Please tell me that at your age you've at least kissed someone. No shame either way but god I hope so.

Have you moved out yet? Are panic attacks still frequent? Are O and K still together? Remember when you're worst memories are with THOSE people? Are the scars gone yet? Are you still causing havoc? Have you been to Ireland yet? Have you seen panic!, fob, dodie, niall, harry, liam, louis play yet. Do you still "ironically " love one direction?, of course you do. Has the Asshole got a new gf yet. Do you still love teddies? Do you still ship larry? Are you still madly in love with daniel and Phillip? Are they married? Are you married? Do you have a job? Please be an author. Are you an author? Tell me your ok? Tell me life gets better? Tell me your free from school and now are living in Ireland with somebody you love near a beach? Do you still love beaches? Do you still love harry potter? Do you still love reading? Wherever you are and what ever you are doing I hope it makes you happy.

1 likeDear 20 year old Dodie, don't worry about the future; everything is going to be fine. And don't wait for happiness to come to you - go and find it. Make lots of memories, take lots of pictures, eat healthy foods, travel, exercise, try new things (especially things that scare you) and experience life before shit hits the fan and you're 25 and you need to start thinking having babies and mortgages and marriage and careers and anti-wrinkle creams... From a fellow 25 year old (no wrinkles as of yet)

0 likesI'm currently 25 (very soon to be 26) and I can tell you that 25 year old me is SO much happier than 20 year old me. I'm a different person. It's crazy how much things can change in just 5 years. And to think in another 5 I'll be nearly 31.... STAY POSITIVE, DODIE! Things WILL get better.
2 likesThis video. Made my day. You are incredible!! I loved watching you think and then think more and go on tangents of thinking. Perfect way to start my day :) Thanks Doddie :)
0 likesOh my god this was so cute and thoughtful. Love you Dodie.
0 likesDodie, I promise in 5 years we'll all still love you and I promise at least I will always think you're amazing and watch your videos as long as you're here for us! <3
0 likeshs was a wonderful, real, cute, perfect video. I hope you enjoy looking back on this, and, also, that Wicked harmony gave me chills up my spine, it was beautiful and happily unexpected.
0 likesI am 24 and I have felt similarly through my whole early twenties. I keep wishing I was in my teens (even some days my early childhood) or hoping to be in the happier future and generally being unhappy in the present. .. This is sounding very gloomy so just wanted to say I found this whole thing very relatable so thanks :)
0 likesWhen you said 'I hope you're happy' I started singing in my head, and it really surprised me when you were singing too!
0 likesYou're my inspiration Dodie. Your videos make me so happy
0 likesYour gasp when you said "are you married?" Ahaha I can't stop replaying it how absolutely adorable
0 likesOh Dodie, I really, really, genuinely wish and want you to be happy. I REALLY do. I hope you get happier as time goes on.
0 likesI think I died when you sang Wicked! You should totally do a cover of it, it sounded so good! This is such a sweet video <3 and totally strange to think about where I'll be when I'm 25. Yikes, let's hope the next five years are good one :P
0 likesDodie this was such a great video. I hope your 25 year old self is happy and in love and doing music and YouTube still. And I'm sure you'll still have an audience because you're great :)
0 likesIn 5 years I'll be 23 and I'll probably be about to finish university... That's crazy!
I find this really interesting- I'm only 22 but am SO nostalgic about my university days around ages 19-21 and would go back in a heartbeat. But would never want to go back to being 15/16 again ever, it was fun at times but I way so insecure and confused about a lot of things, and there's so much pressure around everything.
0 likesI'm 20 too and 25 sounds so scary and far but I loved this video!
2 likesI just realized that I'm only three years younger than Dodie right now, oh my god. This whole video just made me reevaluate my whole life and the concept of time and the universe and wow I'm in really deep.
0 likesDodie your music is AMAZING!!! Don't doubt that. Seriously. You're my favorite.
0 likesThis is adorable, I hope you remember to make a reply in 5 years! The future terrifies me too. I'm about to graduate from University, so I have no idea where I'll be or what I'll be doing by this time NEXT year, let alone in 5 years. I'll be 26...oh god.
0 likesYou are awesome and will always have a growing fanbase!
0 likesDodie your hair looks so cute!!
0 likesand i love that overall dress thing i need to get me one of those
I'm also 20 and I couldn't feel more related to you right now. I'm sort of panicking. Anyways, I hope you and I and everyone are happy at 25, and tomorrow also why not.
0 likesI'm also 20 and that feeling of wanting to be in the past and future at the same time is exactly how I feel too. I think 20 is a scary, weird, half-adult-half-teenager age. I'm sorry you feel like this too but in some ways it's good to know I'm not the only one <3
0 likesfirstly - love seeing all of the youtube comments on here like "HOLY FUCK IM DEAD" although it isn't something to joke about, vvv funny.
1 likeI love how close and concerned you are about Hedy. Im very close with my older sister and I promise you that your relationship will come to be extremely important to hedy. Im 15 and i've only just started to realise how close i am to my sister and how much i need her. For example to other night i had a huge argument with my boyfriend and i tweeted an indirect snidey tweet and within 20 minutes my sister was at my front door and we wandered round the 24 hour tescos until 2am just talking about absolute shit and wetting ourselves laughing the whole time.
i don't have a little sister but i have a 10 month old niece. I hope i can be that person for her one day
i love this video so much :) <3333
This is so nice - I always wonder with 5 years in the future because 3 years ago I had a completely different plan for what I'm doing now so like next year I might not even be doing what I'm planning for next year it's crazy
0 likesDon't worry doddie your amazing and always will be ill watch you always and, when you grow up with Hedi you WILL be happy I guarantee it!! Wut u doddie❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
0 likesThis is a gorgeous gorgeous video Dodie. Really thought provoking and scary and wonderful all the same time. You've captured 20 year old Dodie and this will be incredible to look back on and answer the questions when you are 25. Yes, the future is scary but it's also exciting :) <3
0 likesThis is amazing i love it❤️
0 likesDodie. Don't worry. I at the age of 17 now will still be watching your videos until 22 and beyond and have been watching since I was 14/15. Just believe that at that age you will still have at least one person who thinks you and your videos are absolutely awesome. xx
0 likesI love the fact that you said "Does Hedy have a boyfriend" and then added "or a girlfriend" I just think it's really nice that you said that and didn't think of it as weird like some people do xxx

1 likeOne thing I have l learned is that life is what happens when you're busy making other plans, as John Lennon once said. You can't predict what will happen, it's best to live in the moment. Focus on what you have rather than what you don't have. All the best! I'll be back in ten years to bring more wisdom! ;)
aww my god my favourite thing about this video is how much she cafes about hedy it's so cute omg
0 likesThe fear of the future is an interesting one. I suppose it goes hand in hand with a fear of failure and a need of control. But I also think you could, potentially, turn it into a positive! Regret of the past is quite a useless emotion, but the upside of the future is that you still have a chance to influence it. And it will always be ahead of you, tomorrow there will still be a "5 years in the future" Dodie to talk to, and the next year and the next. All the things, all the questions you ask yourself in this video - you have a chance to influence the answers to them! Just keep knitting, keep writing songs, keep calling your friends, keep making videos and I'm sure 25 year old Dodie will watch this thinking you were silly for ever doubting her! <3

Dear nearly 20 year old Nell,
Are you as cool as Dodie yet? How's that youtube channel coming along? Did you/are you dating that boy? Did you ever kiss that boy? Did you go to prom? Did you wear the Taylor Swift Speak Now dress? What college are you attending? Written a novel yet? (get on that!!) Completed NaNoWriMo? Visited Mr. Weitz? Are you still friends with Amanda, Olivia, Christine, Helena, Jessica, etc? Have you ever met Dodie, Hedy, Dan, Phil, Charlie, John, Hank, etc. yet? I hope you have! Was high school okay? Right now it's going pretty poorly. What your favorite book/movie/song/band now? How's mom and dad? I assume they're divorsed by now. How's Max? How's Zatch? Have you mastered the violin/guitar/ukulele/piano yet? Do you still talk with parenthesis? Did you get to go to VidCon this summer? (Summer of 2016) How was your OC year of camp? Did you go back to be a counciler? (you better have!!!!) Still writing songs and poetry? Are you writing at all? Where do you live now? I hope it's someplace cool like California or London or something!! I really have you go now because it's 1:38am!! Bye!!
I spend way too much time wishing I was 15. We gotta stop that. Enjoy nowww!

0 likesIn 5 years I will be 19. I wonder what I will be doing. Am I happy? Do I still worry a lot? I hope 19 year old me is okay.
0 likesI'm reading a book at the moment that is pretty dramatic, but all about trying to be happy and content in the present. It's called The Power Of Now and I just thought about it because you said that you're constantly thinking about the past and the future and worrying about not being happy in the present, which is exactly what I am feeling :) Not sure whether this will help you in any way, but it just made me think of it :) xxx

0 likesbut then again some people are just more nostalgic than others and that's totally cool :) I hope 25yr old dodie really has done some good steps towards her personal happiness. <3
Dodie I am 33 (although I kind of share this account with my 9 year old daughter so if anyone sees me popping up commenting on LDShadowlady videos, that isn't me!) First off, I really enjoy your videos. You remind me of myself a little, when I was 20 and that makes me nostalgic and happy.
0 likesWhen I first saw this video I thought 'jeez, 20-25 is nothing' and kind of wondered why you'd think it would be so interesting to look back on.
Then I realised I was totally wrong. 20-25 is huge. And it's still a time when years feel long and meandering and not bullet-fast like they are later on.
When I was 20 I was still at University, studying English and Creative Writing, in a long-term relationship, living in Liverpool in a crazy run-down house with friends. I had dreams of being a journalist. By the time I was 25 I had a baby (a happy accident!) was in a totally different long-term relationship and lived with my then-boyfriend in a lovely flat, had moved to London, had an entirely new group of friends, and was working in Digital Marketing at a publishing company as a manager of a whole load of people. It was probably the craziest 5 years of my life so far. And you have all that to come (obviously not the same things but no doubt even more eventful). Enjoy it. And document it. I wish I had more to look back on from those days. xx
I'll be 22 and I'm scared cause I don't know what I want to do with my life.

You will never ever feel out of your depth, because remember each day at a time.

0 likesDear 18 year old me:Right now you're a little stressed, a little annoyed at everyone, pretty happy and really confused. School is eh, but some projects are fun. Hey, a fandom Instagram post randomly got 1,200 likes, no clue how that happened when the average is 60-100.How's collage? What are you studying, have you even decided yet? Are you even going to collage? If yes, is your dorm mate nice? Are there trees there? What happened in high school? Did you like all those clubs you wanted to join? Have you had your first kiss yet? Was it nice? Do you still keep in touch with Jay and Corie and Eleanor occasionally? Please say yes. Let's not talk about if anyone or any pets have died. Do you still like filming cute videos for school? Have you read I'll Give You The Sun or A Dog's Purpose recently? Did you take that creative writing course and realize how shit you are yet? Did you survive Latin? Are you in shape? Please tell me you can finally do a pull-up. Did you finally officially get to 5 feet(If no, what went wrong???)? Is YouTube still a thing? Are you still trying really hard to be social? Are you good at meeting new people? Are you still feeling all hormonal and awkward(Probably)? Do you still wear glasses, or just contact lenses? Can you do a back handspring? Is the scoliosis still a problem? What music do you like? Are you still trying to be a really good person, or has sarcasm absorbed your kindness? Do you still eat Brookside Pomegranate Chocolates? What's your favorite holiday? Where do you want to live? Have you found a new best friend? On one to ten, how much of a nerd are you? (Right now, I'm around 8). Quick Dear 25 year old me:Nopenopenopenopenopenope.Have you grown up yet? Please say no. Are you living in a house? Are you continuing collage? What are you planning on doing? Is running that café still an option? Teaching? Have you found a real passion? Are you like, with, someone? Or is that still not happening? Look at the18 one too, those still apply. How do you dress? Read an extra book whenever you can please. What are your friends like? Who are they? Do you still have so many questions? Almost definitely, why did I ask that? Do you have lots of fairy lights? Can you actually cook? Do you exercise? Are you happy? Do you remember Circus Silks, and how much fun it is?

I know soooo many people say this and people reply with "YOU DONT MEAN THAT SCHOOL DAYS ARE THE BEST TIMES OF YOUR LIFE" but I cannot wait to get a job that I actually like, have freedom to do what I want (as my school doesn't allow me to dye my hair, get piercings, cut my hair, wear makeup, ETC.) and just be my own person. I don't care how stressful being an adult is and paying bills etc etc as I really just wanna gtfo out of school. And away from everyone in my school. Bleh. But you see my point.

0 likesDodie, I know this isn't very topical but I need advice rather desperately. I need to cut my hair this weekend because I have messed it up with hair dye and straightening ( I have curly hair that i hated), and I want to cut it short. I am very nervous. I weigh my worth on how others view me even though I shouldn't. I have a rather chubby face, so I tend to look alot younger than I actually am. So I'm nervous I will look younger, and I am scared people will no longer think I am beautiful or attractive. I want the cut for myself, and I love the idea of short hair. But I am scared of the outcome and its effects. I don't want a bad cut or a puffy mess so I am a ball of nerves. Sending you my love, xx

0 likesHey, Dodie! I just wanted to leave something that might help you out every once and a while!
1 likeSometimes when I'm really regretting or even missing my past/ past self, I write my younger self a letter, telling her about what has improved throughout the years.
For example, I wrote to my seventh grade self (about four or five years ago when I began to feel pretty shit 95% of the time) about how I was really glad that She had held on. I told her that I had changed so much for the better, and I included how thankful I was because she hung on so long, and it set me in a great path for the future.
I hope this can help you out, because I know how crappy it can feel to want to live in the past.

0 likesthis is really funny, just today I said to myself: "you know what? let's make a book about things you never want to forget" and i think like I should write about you, and how you inspire me to live and speak to myself about future, sooo yeah, you'll be in my book that I'll probably read in some years hahq
0 likesthis video made my heart ache... all I wanted to do was hug you and tell you that you'll do just fine cause you are most certainly not in the worst place currently and there's no way for you to know anything in the future so don't sweat it. doddie you'll do great things, you just have to do one silly thing: don't doubt yourself!

0 likesOh no I relate so much to this. I'm 20, and have been feeling like I'm too young to be the age I am since like 18. All I want is to be back in high school when just barely two years ago I wanted to be done with it, even though I really loved my school. When I was 15 I wanted to be 10, and now I feel more confused than ever. 2010 feels like not even a year ago, but in 2020 I'll be 25 and that feels like a lifetime away. I also don't feel like I've changed much at all since I was fifteen, it's just like five years happened over the course of a summer or something, I don't understand how it all has gone by so quickly.
1 likeAnd all the dreams I've had growing up, now that I'm actually free to start making them a reality, I feel anything but excitement because I don't know what to do and I'm scared that I won't figure it out soon. BLegh, I'm just word-vomiting now but everything is confusing and really scary!!!! and I feel too young to be this old. Like I don't know anything yet!!! You can't push me into the adult world like this!!! Can't you see I'm a mess!! ..... ok damn I probably need to make a video like this for myself, as a form of therapy or something because I clearly need it, and then hopefully my 25 year old self will be alive and super cool and have at least a lot more things figured out.
At first I was thinking, "man I can't wait to see her reply!" But now I'm overthinking because I'll be 20-year-old Doddie's age when I see it again and I'll be thinking the same things...

1 likeas for the shitty thoughts and feelings, it might sound harsh but it's up to you to handle those as well! it's not for me to speculate how serious it is for you, but some people can overcome it by themselves, others need help - and it's all okay. It might be scary to ask for help and to actually deal with stuff (been there myself, when i was about 20) but it truly does get better if you want it to, and if you don't let it drown you. Stay strong girl, you can do it, and you can make your 25 yo self proud of where you've been the last 5 years! <3

Did you go to America yet? Have you still got your same boyfriend or a new partner. Are they nice? Are they treating you properly?

Have you got a boyfriend?
Where are you living and who with?
ARE YOU HAPPY?
Love 15 year old me<3
Very very nice video (: I'm sorry to hear about the fact that you don't feel very happy right now. I don't even know you but still..I don't like it when people are sad. I think that doing stuff that makes you happy more helps and I've noticed that whenever I feel down or sad or whatever, I usually feel better when I think back to special memories and then I realise that I want to create more of those and then I knida feel better. I hope this helps anyone that reads this comment :) anyway lovely video

How's the family? Friends?
Did you skip that grade? Or go to the high school you wanted to go to? Or did you stay at that crappy school? I doubt it.
Did you get happier. I hope you did.
Will you remember today? Or last week? When that guy confessed his love to you? Or when you nearly had a breakdown in choir? Did things get better? Please tell me they did.
Did you get a good job? Do you drive? You have a significant other, don't you? All you do is hug, I bet, and tell each other you love them.
Have you eaten anything today?
Did you shower?
Go drink a glass of water. Now. Stay hydrated.
I'll go now. 5 years can really sneak up on you.
Make good choices and remember that someone out there loves you. I'm serious. Even though I don't like you, someone does. I promise. 😊

Which college did you go to? Are you going/been to university? Have you finally decided on a favourite song? Did anything you were stressing about during school matter? Omg so much xx

I hope 20 year old Dodie is okay and will get better, I'm sorry you're unhappy mostly. That must suck.

0 likesHmmm, this video actually made me anxious... I think you need to relax and take some deep breaths. Whatever happens, good or bad there's no point worrying about the future now... I mean... every time you do that you waste energy and emotions when you could be in the moment, focusing on something which makes you smile, going for a walk, texting someone you love, dreaming.... knitting! :-)

0 likesYou are precious and you worry too much. LOL Five years will go by so so fast so take your time. Savor every single moment of your amazing, lovely life. You are beautiful and full of all the good things!!! Do not spend your time being too sad, although sadness can sometimes trap you, distract your mind with things and people that you love to help keep the darkness away. If that doesn't work, find a good therapist!! Sometimes simply talking to someone is SO SO helpful!! Also, it can take a few tries to find a therapist that you actually "click" with, so if you don't feel comfortable with the first one or the second one...try try again!! It's worth it, no one should wander through life with sadness in their heart. You're too wonderful a person!!

Oh, wow, I've just now realized (from the comments) that I'm a bit older than the rest of your audience... And in 5 years time, I'll be 30! Which is really scary. But my life's going well since I left high school, and I hope this continues (and will work on it ;)) If my 25 year old self right now could give my 20 year old self advice... there's 2: 1.) don't stress yourself over anything, you'll develop allergies... 2.) if a boy is being an asshole, just drop him, he's not worth your time
0 likesOk, in 5 years I'll be 25 too. Will I look at my photos from this period and find them super cringy? What happened to all my family? And my friends? Will I have a job? Will I will be still studying for my master's degree? OH GOD PLEASE TELL ME I'M DONE WITH UNI, PLEASE.

0 likesDear Dodie, you probably won't see this but damn, in 5 years time I will be 20, takes a moment for self to let that sink in I will be an adult? I can't be an adult? The future terrifies me even more that the present does but I guess there's really nothing I can do until then but live and try my best (dear future Megan please try your very best in your leaving cert exams they are very important and you want an amazing artsy career and to live in a kickass house with a fish tank in the wall right?) so I'm trying not to worry about it and you should too because currently I watch and rewatch your videos because you are twenty, the me stage of 5 years and you've done pretty great with your YouTube and music along with being super talented so if I turn out half as good as you I'll be fine

This Video is so on point.
0 likes5 years is actually not that far away and i think i fear the future as much as i am excited about it. I wish for so many good things to happen.
But at the same time i am so afraid of waking up in 5 years, maybe looking back on this video or what i was doing now, and realizing that my life, the path i chose for myself does not make me happy or would disappoint my "old" self.
Future is such a scary thing because there are so many possibilities and everything can change in the next couple of days, weeks and years.
I really loved how you thought about everyone else as well as your own future, i think i'm way too focused on what i could mess up about my future right now to even think about still being friends with the same people.
The only thing i wish is that i finally am able to cut toxic people out of my life in the next couple of months.
If you see this comment in 5 years, even though you may not be doing youtube anymore (i sincerely hope that is not the case!), please know that 20-year old Dodie was a perfect human being even in her flaws and that you inspired lots of people.
I'm glad you made this video, you are really giving me something to think about.
Also, I honestly loved you singing that line from wicked. Can we have a Wicked-Mash up or something one day?

I love what you're wearing in this video, also videos and things like this are so fascinating to me?? I really enjoyed getting an insight into you through this, and I know I enjoy having this sort of insight with myself every once in a while. The past two years, I used an email server I think called DearFutureMe, and sent an email to myself about how and who I was then to be delivered the following year. I cannot wait to get the next one, and keep doing it and watch as they evolve over the years as I do. This seems like this to me, but on more public scale. Was that frightening for you? At all? I am curious. Have a lovely day!

Don't be scared of getting older, yes things change, but so much good can happen in that time too. I went from being an often depressed, single student to someone who has their own (albeit small) business and who is happier much much more often than sad. Be excited for the fun, exciting and life changing things to happen. The best thing I've found from age is that the longer you spend in your body, the more comfortable in your own skin you become 💜

0 likesDear 20 year old me: I hope you've found friends who respect you and that you've successfully moved on from your friendships that ended badly. I hope you've learned to hang out with people who will treat you how you deserve to be treated, instead of going back to the old friends who have hurt you. I hope your fear of commitment has gotten better, since recently you went through a terrible breakup that completely crushed your hope of ever finding people you can trust. I hope you don't feel isolated and alone and unable to trust anybody. I hope you're happier than you are right now. I hope you know that everything will turn out okay. - your naive 15 year old self

0 likesfive years from today ill be "almost" 22. god. i hope that college was nice. i hope you are mentally healthy and in a happy place. i hope that you have a job that you enjoy or at least a job that you do not hate. i hope you are finacially stable and comfortable. i hope that you love yourself. i hope your makeup has improved but if it hasnt its ok cause its already great :D. i hope you are not too grown up to enjoy the little things in life. i genuinely hope that you are happy. love from me, at "almost" 17. <3
0 likesi lov your videos so much and the fact you are a fan of demi too is amazing
0 likesDear 18 year old me,
1 likeI hope you got out of your bad habits. More importantly, that you're still alive.
Present day you isn't doing so good, you know. You're losing your mind as we speak, I swear.
I hope you're really happy, and finally doing what you want to do without feeling pressured to do others.
How's the father situation? Better than present day, I sure hope.
I hope that you have met Dan and Phil, Evan and Dodie, Troye and Tyler, and all the other YouTubers who you watched to get through a day.
Oh, hey? Have you seen my bronze hair-clip yet?? It's been missing for a while. Do you feel comfortable yet?
When are you going on that roadtrip with your friend? When are you moving in with your other friend? When will you ever get around to cleaning, dammit!?
Are you over your anxiety yet? Probably not, you weren't one to ever try too hard to fix things manually. What a shame.
I really hope your singing has improved, and your ukulele. God, you're awful in present day. Let me know how you're doing.
Love, your 13 your self.
You are such a wonderful person, and I believe you are that also off the internet!

0 likesIn 5 years I'll be 20, thats just crazy! I haven't had the courage to talk about my future since when my depression started, which is now around 2,5 years ago, because I never thought I'd still be there right now. But here I am, 15 and still depressed, but hey, at least I'm still here. And I hope my 20 year old me will still be here too in 5 years, because I'm starting to appreciate life more and more every single day. Just make the most out of it, and if life gives you lemons, gosh, squeeze them hard!! 🙃 You can do it. X

1 likeOh god help the responsibilities coming!!!
Here's some advice for you Dodie: Have no fear for the future. You can't predict what will happen, good or bad. Life is short too worry about the unknown ahead. So just take it in your stride and be happy. :)
0 likesDear 24 year old Kate. How's life? Did you graduate with the grade you wanted? Do you have a job you love? Are you living with/still in a relationship with the boyfriend you had at 19? 19 year old Kate certainly hopes so. Have you sorted things with you mum? I hope you have done that too. Have you become more confident in yourself? Do you still worry what other people think of you? Do you have your own place? And a cat? I hope you still love cats. But most of all I hope you're happy and in a good place.
1 likeLots of love, 19 year old Kate xxx

By the way, Dodie, in five years time, I'll definitely still be here 😉
Dear 19 year old me, you better still be watching dodie so that when she makes the reaction to this video u can come back to the original and (hopefully) see this comment :))

How's life?
Oh dodie I love this so much
0 likesI think its funny how people say "never change" because that's exactly whats supposed to happen. Your unhappy most the time right now, which is sad but i bet it will be better in the future. Its okay to be afraid of the future but you have to allow it to come, and let it change you. Because you have gone through a lot to get you were you are right now, and although sometimes it doesn't feel as amazing eventually it will!
0 likesDear 18 year old me,

I'm 14 right now and one of my biggest fears is growing old. Nothing terrifies more than thinking about when I'm old. When I'm 70 and I'm helpless. I will constantly need a nurse to look after me or I have no family left. My passion for music has been long dead because I thought I should get an office job in some shit company. I'm so scared.
0 likesdear 19 year old me,

0 likesjust wondering i was watching your old videos on this channel and there is one where you shout 'IAIN FOR FUCK'S SAKE' - one of my favourite moments btw XD - do you have a brother? it's just you never talk about having one but you do talk about Hedy sorry if there's a personal reason or something i'm just curious :)
1 likeOhh Dodie. I want to hug you so much.
0 likesAnd tell you, that life gets better... but you know that very well! It comes and goes in waves...
And I know your life is not my life. And your experience are not the same as mine.
And probably we are nothing alike. And these words will mean so much less to you than they mean to me.
But I remember being 20, (and the memory I have of myself at this age seems like it is pretty similar to the Dodie in this video and realizing that hurts a bit because I want to hug 20 years old me very much right now, tell her to breath and telling her that it alright...)
I remember being 25, as well, (it's really not long ago at all) and the world laying between... all the things I did, I stood on mountains and I cried under my desk. I can barely grasp it, so much has changed. And that is more frighting than anything, I know that very well. Time passing is sooo frighting. Life can be so incredibly frighting. But it is so beautiful as well when you take each day as it comes and make the best of it. Enjoy the way, not the goals! (These boring old words. I am sorry...)
I hope your journey will be incredibly beautiful!!! I really, really do!

0 likesI wrote a letter to my future self. I'm not sure where it is but I'm sure I will find it one day. I mostly told myself about where I was then (like year ago?) that I hoped I was better, more okay, but even if I wasn't, that's okay too. I feel like in this video you put a lot of pressure on your future self. Like, in a fun and excited way, but I guess maybe you wouldn't ever see that as pressure. I remember writing my letter and concioisly trying not to do that. In case future me read it and felt like she had failed her younger self. I wrote a lot about how far I have come already, and how even if there are still shitty things in the future, I've always been able to get through it and that future me is no different. That if I have a job or a career, that's great! That's like, the biggest achievement ever (I've been unable to work for years due to mental health). But if I don't, that's totally fine too and we will probably get there one day! I think mostly, I wrote to myself and told myself that this is where I am now, and wherever I am in the future, that's okay. If I'm reading it, I'm alive, and that's so wonderful and more than I could ever dream of.

0 likesDear 25 year old me: wow you were such a baby then though you sure thought you were fully grown and mature. You knew nothing and were depressed and afraid of the future. Now, the future is exciting and literally everything only gets better. Your skin's gotten better, your mentality has gotten better, your self esteem, your relationship with yourself and with your parents, your priorities, your job, your body, your interior decorating skills, your intellect, your understanding of things in general and of yourself- literally all of that's gotten better. And it's only been 3 years! Your 20s were okay but your 30s are going to be awesome. Here's hoping you never get pregnant!

0 likesDear twenty-year-old Dodie, if you want to be happy you need to stop spending so much time thinking and talking about yourself, get out and do something for others and I guarantee you you will become happy. Yours is a generation of self-centeredness like no other generation ever. That's why you're so unhappy. It is only by giving to others your time your treasure your talents that you can ever be truly happy. Trust me on this I'm 63, I love your music, I teach it to my students and I know what I'm talking about. God bless you young girl, now get out there and do something for somebody and stop thinking about yourself so much ♡
