Nicole Morel I am so critical of my 20-year-old self I am 25 now and I finally was able to retrieve all of my memories from when I was in my 20th year and the videos were just so hard to watch I thought I was actually being cute and quirky but it’s just annoying...I was still a teenager🤣🤣🤣

@@sofiabravo1994 🤣🤣🤣 see that's what im afraid of

I think you might be surprised at how youd feel about your young self. I saw a video of myself from 2014 and I thought I was a cringy ugly kid at the time but when I saw that recently I just looked like a nice kid..because u was a nice polite kid and I'm so sad i was so pointlessly insecure .

Working on gentleness and care for your past self is really important! They were working really hard and helped you get to where you are now!

i read it like 'lived in bath & body works and also worked at lush '(bc i didnt hear her say that bit)

hahaha i didn't realize this until you pointed it out xD

I could have seen her in there but I wouldn't have known it was her. Oof.

It's nice to remember how much we can grow tho

Right

It really isn’t If one thing on this earth is true it’s that things change!

The thing that brought that home the most for me was some of the more visceral stuff that has changed in 5 years-there’s a different house, different hair, and a whole album and tour that 20yo dodie hadn’t even dreamed of! Those are some big shifts, it’s cool to see how far you can go in just a short five years.

Ellis Scott I know i literally felt so proud of her

kissingthimbles same. (also i love your picture)

estherthebester thank u c:

I'm 17, and i feel the exact same- its hard to picture being 20 or 25 and what things will have happened or not happened & where life will be. Its scary as hell. I think writing a letter will terrify me but also hopefully something to look back on and go yeah i did that.

@@plestrange511 Oof, I heavily relate to the both of u. I'm turning 17 in two months and this video brought me to tears. The future is really scary, the past is cringy lol and a bit fascinating too. A lot of people here keep mentioning writing a letter so I might just do that aswell, it'll be an interesting experience to open it in a couple of years. Thank you, and I wish u both good luck in life, it's going to be alright.

hey, you’re probably 18-ish now - hopefully you’re still around and you have a better vision of the future. if not, i just wanted to say that i was just like you all once; i’m now in my early 20s and i can say with certainty that i’m glad i’m here. the world moves on, day by day. the future is not some huge destructive force that will come in and crash down all at once. the future is tomorrow, and then the day after that, and the day after that. the issues you’re dealing with might still remain, but as you grow older you develop new ways of seeing the world and those issues as well - at the very least, you need only worry about tomorrow. it’s like when you’re in kindergarten, you look at the high schoolers and feel a sense of intimidation b/c they seem so big and smart; like omnipotent adults. but time goes on, over the years you grow and naturally you gain experience, and eventually you’re a high schooler and it all seems much more reasonable and manageable. i hope you’re well. keep pushing on. i was once a 17 year old who thought they wouldnt live past 20. i’m glad i did. im still scared of the future but i feel ready to take on tomorrow, and that’s all you need. take care

the earth is grateful to have you here, the tides will change for you at some point, and you deserve to be there when they do ♥️

@@edenjensen6708 thank you ❤

Hope things are better now imo life is a lot of ups and downs. Enjoy the better times and when things aren’t good, try to remember that it will get better and to be kind to yourself. It can help to try and focus on the positive things in our lives, rather than more on the negative side (a balance of both) Setting small goals can help, write them down to look back on later

Hey, life happens but things come and go and change with the time... I hope everything gets better someday and even tho the future is scary, it doesnt all happen at once, so take your time life the present :) really hope u are fine and with you a good week 💙

vending machine oreos honestly i remember i cut my hair short and immediately watched her video on short hairstyles for some inspiration. i was so excited

This comment almost made me cry, proud of you internet stranger 💛

Man that made me think. From around the ages of ehh 11 to 15 I just... learned to despise everything about myself. I was so insecure about my body, personality, sense of humor, hell- even the things that made me happy. I dont know where it came from or why it persisted so long, but like you said, it was this primal, connatural hatred. I would nonstop compare myself to my friends, all the while noticing the beauty in them- internally and externally- and never fathoming that anyone would do the same for me. I hated myself with every fiber of my being. I genuinely believed no one could ever love me. And so it was odd and really quite lucky that over the course of a year or so, I managed to unlearn all that hatred without putting too much effort into doing so. Looking back, it was like as easily as it had come on, it was gone. I'm saddened by the time I lost hating myself, but I'm so so grateful that I've learned to laugh at my own jokes, rant about the things that make me happy, dance in the mirror in a crop top and smudged day- old makeup. To this day, I dont know what prompted this change. I still have slip ups, sometimes I still shy away from the mirror or cringe at a joke that fell flat, but now those moments dont define me. I've fallen in love with myself. Who'dve thought :,)

Beautiful ❤️

Same. Even reading this comment made me tear up again

it’s incredible how much she’s grown and how positively and calmly she handled something this heavy.

thank u for writing these up!! I loved her wisdom here too. I cried with Dodie in there. And now while I'm writing this lol. My parents divorced a few years ago and last year we sold the house I grew up in and got rid of all the mess and the memories so that kind of hit me hard. I'm only 22 and I still worry a lot about whether I'll ever be, like, okay. this video honestly gave me a lot of hope. I'm graduating from university soon so it seems a good a time as ever to write a letter to future me.

happy slightly belated anniversary to the the day i got perceived by dodie

Kind of unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a large amount of videos directed towards 20 year old girls about how to spot toxic people. I don't know if it's because then it would force them to critically look at their standards and how they can be blinded by attraction. Because presumably it's not like 40% of men are emotionally abusive and lie 100% of the time. (I guess men as a group are extremely bad if that's the case, and I would be surprised how society wouldn't immediately collapse with so many immoral people in the world.) So it seems like a fair amount of the time, women are picking a man who turns out to be abusive rather than the many men who are not abusive. Certain traits women are picking out from the group of men to find a partner seem to be correlated with abusive tendencies, because if you just take a random guy, chances are he's not abusive -- abusiveness is not nearly as ubiquitous as that, so something else seems to be going on. And to think how many years a woman has to suffer because she couldn't see the red flags. And so it could help a lot to have more media that tackles this topic. Instead, the trend seems to be more about, "just pick whoever you want, and don't question your desire, just follow it hedonistically, don't be sexist and question a woman's choices." But that can lead you down a pretty bad path if you're not careful.

i feel the same way right now. it’s wild

Insanely relatable😌💕

Eh, I mean, it's hard to set a momentary feeling as a universal life goal.

@@PeachPlastic damn. haven't even thought about it like that. damn

i remembered i wrote a comment this time, but i forgot what i wrote, and also that i replied to myself. can't wait until 3 months from now, when i reply to this comment again

doddleoddle love u and your music so much and happy birthday again💞💞

I lost my childhood pet recently and I really wish I had heard those words before. It really isn’t as scary as it seems. It’s awfully tragic and horrible and sad but it’s also very serene and peaceful in a way that only death can be. Idk. Very weird and surreal, but yeah, not scary.

I needed that quote. My cats are old and I have small flares of anxiety a few times as week as I think about losing them and always hoping I have more time with them. I know it will be heart breaking, but those words help ease my current worries

I saw this as she said it.

Absolutely, you can change and grow a lot in 5 years! Especially when you are young!! 😁

Five years is spit in the ocean. It is very little. The human cortex isn’t fully formed until about age 25. You guys have a long time coming.

I am back......what a wonderful introduction to your work. Thank you so much, just such powerful work, now let the dreams begin.

I heard or read somewhere that there was a study where when people look at images of themselves from the past, the same part of their brain lights up as when they see other people, i.e. their brain identifies their past selves as a different person.

GreekGirl102 ahh thanks for telling me that’s actually quite interesting

Dodie has a few asmr videos already! 😊

ur in luck friend !! just search that shit and you’ll get some gold content from a year or two ago

I'm so glad you're alright man, that's awesome! There will always be a special place in my heart for the people and things that helped me stay alive, and dodie is one of those. I still sob every time I hear secret for the mad. Mental illness is one hell of a thing to have to deal with and I'm so proud of us all for making it through.
