What if You Could Talk to Your 12-Year-Old Self?
If you could talk to your younger self, what would you say? And since childhood memories can get a little fuzzy, what would you ask?
I get the idea that my younger self might just stare at me in wonder before telling me to shave my beard and ease off on the donuts, while older me would spend the whole time begging him/me to buy stock in Apple and avoid certain people at all cost. I really like to think that me and I would have a deep and meaningful conversation, but really, after the whole chatting-across-time novelty wore off, it’d probably just turn into a fierce burping competition.
Filmmaker and actor, Jeremiah McDonald, discovered a video he’d made of himself when he was 12yo, talking to his future self. So, twenty years later he created a video conversation between his younger and older self for us to all be blown away by. So watch and be blown away. It’s amazing.
