    I hope I'm proud of my future self. I know my younger self isn't proud of me right now. I don't really know if she would understand why my life has turned out this way.

    Me in high school would at least be proud I was in a band going outta state a few times and the amount of weed I smoked, but now I’m sober, only for a job I’ll still smoke just not as much but he would see that and call me a sellout for giving in over just doing what I please but as an adult we can’t just do as we please he would understand when he is older

    whenever we look back on the past it's always in an idealised light and it makes me wonder why. perhaps it acts as an innate coping mechanism; we block out the painful memories that haunted us, the unpleasant experiences that plagued us, so that all that's left are the happy moments that did not comprise the entirety of our past experiences, yet we recall it as such. the past, the present, and the future are all beautifully flawed in some regard

    My present self will probably like my future self but when my future self becomes my present self I won't like myself if that makes any sense.
    The curse of always trying to improve yourself is that you're never good enough.

    I'll tell you as someone who knows a lot of my negative childhood memories, childhood me would hate current me. How dare I accept that my brain isnt the same as other peoples, how dare I let myself cry when all that brings is ridicule and getting shoved in a conference room for hours for seemingly no reason. Also how dare I be alive but thats its own problem

    From being a homeless working 12 year old with a mom who hid the horrors of the world with a smile that I will someday have too say goodbye too. He would be happy, I've felt love, and for that I think, even in times of emptiness I can hold that feeling tightly and say yes. There is a reason too wake up tomorrow. Too feel that way for someone again, too care for my mother and fight for a better future. I think he'd be happy

    I've just got to take a moment to appreciate your content; it doesn't just pose a concept and leave it, but explores its breadth concisely and makes it enjoyable and low-key.

    15 year old me would probably like me but be confused. I spent far too much of my teenage years being mad at the world and trying to prove that im old enough to deal with it.
    2 dead friends and suddenly I realise nobody’s ready to take everything life has to give.

    I'm 30 and this hit the nail on the head harder now than it would have at any other point in my life. I'll probably come back to this one a lot.

    This is what I've been slowly realizing lately. We are just a tiny piece in a grand, immensely chaotic history. Our individual lives will be lost with time, our stories bent to fit the needs of the people who remember us. Eventually, we may be distorted beyond comprehension. Our lives just a small collection of facts, used to fit narratives of those that need us. A few words is all we can hope to pass on. I live for those that came before me. I will read their words, learn their stories, make space for them in my head. This is all we can really hope for, from a future beyond ourselves. In the meantime, let's create art, memories, and feel all the passions of life that those who went before us will forever be without. It's all we can do. That and to hope someone reciprocates down the line.

    i think my past self would be both horrified and proud. i got myself out of a bad situation and i'm successful in college, but many of my values are different than what they used to be.

    he always blows me away with his ability to put unorganized feelings i've had my whole life into such a well worded and easily digestible video format, easily one of the greatest creators on this platform
