I certainly know that my middle-school self would be horrified by who I am now. Mainly because I moved out of my political bubble and have become a lot more accepting of other people.
.....you too?
The moment i grew up was the moment i realised 4chan wasnt cool anymore
I feel like everyone had that middle school SJW compilation # 3187203 phase and I'm glad that it's over
wow, I thought this almost word for word while watching the video
@@usbgamers123 I think its sweet, actually, when its just a phase and it happens at like 14 years of age. like... that was the first incursion of little me into the world of politics and sociology, even though im quite far left now. the past me had the same scope, if that makes sense, just a different wisdom
Hey man, an episode of SpongeBob and some ice cream still sounds pretty damn good to me
I'm so in love with your videos. You've got a great way of expressing yourself both in speech and cinematography
I agree. I've been watching his content for a while now and It has inspired me to put more effort into the videos I make. I think he's great and I love what he says and does.
@@YT.sophia is
I started working out, gave up porno and started to slightly go out a little every once in a while.
Its been a year and i have never been this happy about myself and this proud of myself. It's not that my appearance or anything particular has changed drastically but I'm pretty sure what has changed is my mind.
People around me are literally amazed at how I've turned around.
Never stop believing.
Man, I'm so glad to hear that.
Wow I wish that worked for me jesus fucking christ. Depression’s killing me.
@@pinzinkinzin4066 hold on man, it gets better.
username checks out
@@agnel47 The more you work on it the better it is.
The better question is “Will my future self life my future self”
I also wonder if my future self will *life* my future self.
@@Bladings cmon its just a typo :/
@@botas5254 well yes I agree lol, i'm just meming on a small unimportant mistake
As a kid we wanted to be instantly older because of the freedom of staying up late and other trivial stuff alike and now it's the opposite and we want to go back. feeling like we used to take life for granted, but maybe that's the reason why life was great.
Similarly to how the grass is always greener on the other side, the past is always rose-tinted to some extent.
Pure chaos -> identification (story of self) -> domestication -> inauthenticity -> crash & confusion -> unlearning -> acceptance -> conscious chaos
do you know a good book I can read on exactly this please?
Honestly, the only thing keeping me going at the moment is thinking that happier days are ahead of me. My childhood was not too terrible, more so I never had one. My parents moved us around a lot, and I was always expecting to leave the people in my life at a moments notice so I never made any genuine connections. On top of which, moving is very stress inducing and my parents kind of left the taking care of my younger siblings to me and my older brother. I always had to put others first, repress all my wants and needs. I love my parents and family but I can't say that I trust any adult in my life to take responsibility because they consistently show me that they can't. I'm not a child anymore though. Well I'm only 20 but the one goal in my life is to be stable enough in my life to pursue all the interests I never got to as a child, or have the things I never truly believed in as a child. Learn to play an instrument, star gazing, take a vacation and it not being a move to a new country, have a home, somewhere that is mine and that I can always return to no matter what.
I hope your goals will be met, i hope your responsibilities won't be too much of a burden to you and you don't have to hand those responsibilities out to an adult, just maybe talk to someone about your responsibilities.
Dude the first half of your comment was literally my life. My dad's military and we moved away from my hometown when I was 8 and went to Germany. Sound cool but I knew we'd be going back to the States after 4 years so I didn't care about the friendships I made there. Then, moving back to the States, I didn't know how to make friends and everyone already had strong relationships because they stayed in that environment. My "best years" were taken from me
@@Ispint I'm not a very open person but I now have made some good friends that understand me and I'm dealing with whatever pain and anger I've picked up because of my childhood
@@maebunny5298 yeah I know that feeling all too well. I've never returned to the countries I've lived in, and I've lived in 5 countries, but it makes you feel very empty. I don't feel like I belong anywhere and everywhere just seems uncomfortable. I get on well with individual people but when people start talking about collective thinking, culture, experiences, I feel very left out. I love being by myself because I don't really know how to be around other people. The best thing all my travelling has done is made me comfortable in uncomfortable situations. I can talk to anyone, make a joke here or tell an interesting story there but it's mostly superficial and small talk is very draining so I hate that.
hey have you considered the van life?
i hate my past self - 100%
i hate my present self - 100%
I hate my future self - loading
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
these days I've been thinking about this and this video really helped, more specifically this part "I come to realize that this memory of a younger self is less of a character profile and more so an inaccurate and systematically biased portrayal of all that I wish was still true of my present self."
Your videos and work is great, I love it
Thank you sissy, you never fail to make my day and keep my head occupied with ideas from your video. You are a gem.
Bruh
>sissy
lol
There is something in your voice that touches something in my brain, I dunno how to describe it.. It's like your voice drags a little bit with some kind of resistance in your throat that creates a really aesthetic sound. I really like it.
Hey guys, Im 19 and I don't know what to do to make my life better, every thing I want from life is just not happening. But it's channels like these that help me through and make me believe that at least there are some people in this world who think like me and it makes my day a bit less depressing.
The truth is, these things that you want from life, they will never happen on their own. Waiting for them to happen is as good as running in the opposite direction of a marathon finish line. Another thing to keep in mind is that happiness in life requires patience. You can't just do a few chores and expect to get, for example, a girlfriend, or a decent job out of nowhere
I am also 19 and preparing for an entrance exam that can make or break it for me.
For a long time I was hyper self aware but did nothing to change parts about myself that I wasn't proud of. Don't be me.
This channel is indeed great, i sometimes use it to sleep. I don't do that with videos i haven't watched though, because they're too interesting to simply sleep.
@@user-jo9sc4ot6j It's less of "oh I'm gonna wait around and do nothing and expect all of my goals to magically appear" and more "I have no idea what steps I need to take to actually reach the goals I want and everything that I am doing now is not working"
I'm 25, not much older but I have some advice to give. We are young, whatever bad happens we still got so much time to fix it and whatever good we have many years ahead of us to remember it :)
Man, considering what you're experiencing right now - fear/regret of being transformed and eventually forgetting who you once were - I would strongly recommend writing a journal. EVEN THOUGH your videos reflect your ideas, beliefs and emotions very well, I am sure there is a lot more you simply wouldn't see reasonable to share woth the world, yet can be very valuable and precious to you.
Journaling is a perfect way of doing that - every single thought and experience throughout your life will be saved and can be revisited by future you, smiling at those often-forgotten moments and being glad you saved them. As the time goes, we DO change and it's not a bad idea to save previous 'projects' of ourselves, I think.
I often think that my high school self would be horrified by who I've become.
To my past self, well she'd be confused at how I"m a girl, unaware that she is too. It's sad to think of it that way, but maybe if my past self knew sooner, she'd be able to be happier. Though, she'd still be trapped within the enclosement of societal pressures and a terrifying family life, so maybe ignorance is bliss. A few years of nothing simply to be who I am isn't bad, right? Years of not living, but survival.
The older me, fully grown and most likely more happy, so much so to the point of having better things to do than think in such deep way, will probably see me and pity me; Or, if she remembers me still (because I might be a repressed memory), she'll want to hug me and say that it'll get better, she promises.
And so, I want to live some of that promise myself. As long as I'm on my own side.
As long as you keeping being "you", you'll look back with compassion and realise that you'll only ever wanted the best for yourself. You'll do great. I wish you all the best
@@londontrack6099 I just escaped my hurtful situation and while I still have issues, I'm trying. Thank you, London
I feel this. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so self aware, a few more years of denial feel like nothing compared to hiding every part of yourself. i’m not yet 18 and can’t move out for a while, so i guess i’ll bide my time until i’m in a place where it’s safe to come out to my parents
@@wren_. Do you have discord? I'm more than open to chat there more.
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.
As I'm approaching my adulthood fully, I'm facing my childhood and the trauma it's caused me over the years. I wouldn't say I had a bad childhood, but like you said you often only remember the flashes of joy and forget the details of moments that could have been devastating. I was made to grow up much younger than I ever should have. I look at my younger self more with a sense of deep sorrow and enraged at everything he went through. But I'm learning to give him the love he should of had all along. As I do with all versions of me, they all deserve the same amount of love for every step they took in our life. So, I can admit now that I don't like any version of me, but I am learning to love them and will reach that likeness one day.
If I could stop procrastinating then maybe I will like him
Haha i'm currently on my chair with a math book Infront of me but yet here i am. my math test is tommorow.
It is mind-boggling thinking how much my future self will change depending on what I do now. The thought of having the power to change the timeline of my history feels so heavy. If I decide to practice piano now for example, my future self will be able to play piano; but if I don't, he won't be able to and that creates a wildly different version of me that determines my interaction with this world I will live in. Decided to study? Different me. Practicing drawing? Different me. Exercise? Different me. Procrastinating? Different me. Me choosing what to do (or don't) today, right now, is the thing that pulls the fragile threads of the future, what determines what I do and don't become, my shape, my mold, my sculptor... And that's crazy, but more so scary
@@usbgamers123 yeah I think about that a lot too. It’s sort of exciting having so many options but also very scary
honestly, this is one of the channels that motivated to study philosophy
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.
Sisyphus I dealt with the same thing when I was your age and to a degree, I still deal with it at 26 years old. My prefrontal cortex is fully cooked and sometimes it’s still a nightmare realizing that this is who I’m gonna be for the foreseeable future. Luckily sometimes it’s also quite relieving. I have not found the answer I was looking for but I have found comfort and a philosophy in the answers I did not find.
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
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 think my future self will think of me fondly, maybe a little reserved, immature, and naive, but still admirable
As someone who has dealt with depression since childhood, I actually have a different perspective on my past self.
I’ve never been truly happy in a way I can truly remember. So I suffer no illusion that some idyllic childhood was the result of my lack of education and mental development. Don’t get me wrong, I have the same bias to miss the simplicity of childhood, but when I really think about it, I wasn’t my happy then either….well maybe when I was really little. Like 5 and younger, but as long as I can actually remember, I have dealt with depression.
I can say that remembering my early 20s from here at age 29, it is somewhat different from my childhood. The fog is there. But the jumble of memories is more varied. Lost loves, breakups, getting fired from jobs are interspersed with the happy memories like the birth of my daughter. The more responsibility you have the more things can go wrong.
The other day I realized that I dont even know what I look like yet, because the way I look will change every few decades. I felt surprisingly frightened for someone who claims to be fine with change. This video nicely articulates the poignant fact that none of us know who we will be.
Thanks for that video! Recently when I was down the thought that I would be cool uncle for my younger self uplifted me. I don't always get a point of trying to be "best version of yourself. But I really want that my future self would be liked by my present self. Anyway I wish you exactly that ^^
Exactly. Nobody is perfect, nobody is EVER the "best version of yourself". Because the self is transitory, and we will never grasp what it essentially means to be alive. Even if we do, we lack the ability to communicate this. All limits, no perfection. A cool uncle is good enough, right?
When you're a kid, happiness is eating ice cream and watching Spongebob.
As an adult, happiness is cracking open a cold one with the boys and watching Spongebob.
I literally shed happy tears from the last part of this video
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.
"You don't remember being me, do you?" "You were a very long time ago"
Best-written video by far. Keep it up man!
your videos always make me less anxious, thank u so much for sharing your thoughts
I've had this feeling for so long now and I've been so incapable of articulating it, thank you so much!
I appreciate all the care and thought you put into your videos
It’s incredible how your videos have genuinely helped me overcome my overwhelming self loathing.
So underrated. Asking the questions that really matter. Really, you are amazing
Four and a half minutes of super well-written and intimate discussion of a very relatable topic
Elegantly written and expressed bro
i think this might be one of my favorite videos i've ever watched on your channel. I like the addition of the irl video inbetween the animation. Not sure why, maybe because that landscape was really pretty, or maybe because its a nice way to make the video feel more personal, or maybe both.
I really enjoy the more personal notes you’re putting on your videos. All I can say from one average man to another is sometimes living life in the moment (as cliche as that sounds) is the best thing one can do to be happy. It’s a simple concept in thought but a hard one in practice. No one ever truly lives in the moment since we will have a memory of that moment but you can still make note of yourself making a memory in the moment instead of looking back to remember a movement you didn’t take note of when that moment existed.
this is your best work so far, if had read this somewere, i would´ve kept record of the autor... You´re pretty good when it comes to putting thoughts into videos for us to understand and percieve them as if they were ours
i think about this all the time, thank you for putting it into words for me
So true. Memories are fragments of our existence. I can remember very few things
Man,you take what haunts me and make awesome videos off that.Also,you almost always get a different conclusion than I even though we share an almost identical thought process,especially in this video.Truly fascinating
Love the idea, that he's making a kind of diary of himself, which he shares with people, that definitely enjoy it as much as he does.
visuals always slap
sometimes i think of this very topic and its awesome how you came to the same conclusion as i did, this is now one of my favorite videos on UA-cam
Same for me! I was just trying to explain to my sister two days ago how I remember only "discrete events" from childhood, and I wish I'd watched this video first because it's exactly the explanation I was reaching for but couldn't articulate!
Music is relaxing I mean the tune at the end of this thing
I just hope that my future self will take care of the person they used to be
im loving the mic quality on this one
This was so beautifully made
I get Michael Stevens vibes from your writing style. I dig it.
Keep up the good work!
"A good day is one spent in the forest searching for dinosaurs" xd
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.
"Will i like my future self?"
Me who already hate my present self
"I'm not sure, jeez"
I think we should think of our views of our past not as pictures, but as reimagined portraits feeding from previous reimaginations. In this sense, your view of your past, or of your past self, is really something which feeds from all of you life since then
Laughed at "new socks"... i just bought a pair of $30 running socks. Yes one pair, $15 for a sock, $30 for the pair. What has my life come to when you get excited at new socks
Never really gave this question much thought. Thanks for a new thing to obsess about
Loved it. Really thought provoking video.
Absolutely fantastic content, top shelf
I'll like my future self, but only if they buy me ice cream.
I have been loving theese types of vids
that was beautiful. Thank you
i never got to be the kind of child you describe so im grateful i can realize the worth of the present moment now 💯🙏
well one thing is for certain that i won't like my past self
I'll be dead, so yeah I will like future me.
Jesus Christ I could cry at these videos
i think of my future self as myself, i never thought about him the way you did. i do however know that this future self will dislike current me, and im okay with that. as i hate previous me aswell. what im really saying is that in the future i will have grown more, and have more of an understanding of things. enough growth to look down on younger me
dropped another banger, sisyphus never misses
Now I'm afraid of dying and being forgot before my actual death.
I currently hate the past and present self, can't see it getting better.
0:40, literally all of those apply to me this week. I am currently eating scrambled eggs with vegetables, my ruined omelette.
They say that anything that is posted on the Internet lives forever. That being the case, you, your children, and your grandchildren will have plenty to work with besides your faulty/too rosy/too cynical future memory. I'm betting that, when tomorrow's loved ones have a chance to see these love letters from the past, they will only fall more in love with you.
cells divide and stuff. nothing blows my mind more than thinking about how i am not one thing but billions of tiny things working together to make a flesh machine attempt to fill its purpose in a greater flesh machine. lol
People take themselves too seriously. When you die, you won't be here to care. Even if on my deathbed I accomplished nothing of value, it ultimately doesn't matter. When you get there, it won't even be you anymore. Just relax.
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.
The future doesn't need us.
can anyone here explain how this guy makes these beautiful 3-frame animations? so good
Great video! You have such a wonderful writing style ☺️ I made a video on memory something you discussed here but you made it sound like art! Wish I can do that some day ☺️ Can’t wait to see the next video 🥳
Sobbing rn
The idea of forgetting who am I and what I do now both scares and comforts me. All life is a collection of memories, and you can’t really trust memory.
"I think therefore I am" Rene Descartes. I think just the act of knowing yourself as true and real can compensate for the fear of forgetting who you were and instead allow for an understanding of who you are.
Great video once again. I can only hope to become as well written as you. I will practice, I promise
My past self hates My current self, but I don't know about My future self
This reminds me so much of a chapter in the last book I read: _You Are Not So Smart_
Oh wow, That was beautiful.
my opinion on that question has always been that I will as long I put the effort into making it happen
Most eloquently spoken
oh man fookin' beautiful
My future self will hate me with a burning passion 100%
huge existential crisis i've always had!
Damn I feel like youre right.
This is very useful right now - especially during a time of post-lockdown romanticized yearning for who I was before it
I love autumn leaves
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.
I find the idea of pondering this hilarious. Your current self will not exist to reflect on your future self, therefore - who cares
I suddenly and compulsively feel like keeping a personal diary now.
