Also, yeah, I decided to blur the yellow-ish rectangle underneath the "Days since last haircut" box. It used to show an estimation of how many peers my age were still alive, based on acturial tables from US Social Security. My intention was that was to show the fragility of life and how you can't take anything for granted, so enjoy each day of life as it comes. But after uploading the video I realized it was actually kinda depressing. So, I think the video's better with it blurred out! For my ten-year video, perhaps I'll replace that with a stat of how many people my age are *married*, since that's a much happier milestone. :)

Omg I SEE ME
This is the best version of this I’ve ever seen
OMG wassup person I met on Aug 17, 2021!
Hallo
@@carykh hallo
Damn already pinned lmao
yooo
the fact that i dont recall you ever mentioning this on any channel despite on how long its been going makes me appreciate it even more. playing the LONG game.
Makes you wonder what he’s cooking up right now
I'm pretty sure I remember him mentioned it before (although it's not like I could point to a specific video off the top of my head…), so it's not like it was a secret or anything. It just isn't the kind of thing that comes up often. But in any case 8 years is a long game however you square it!
yeah, i kept it on the down low for a while because I wanted it to be a surprise reveal! Although, i did tweet one image of me holding the photo-a-day paper back in 2018, but I don't think many people saw that. (that's probably what you were remembering, Alan!)
i swear he mentioned this somewhere on the humany channel. I knew this existed, before this video was made.
@@carykh Hey Cary. You're one of the coolest people to ever exist. I hope you continue having a wonderful life.
Can't believe how consistently you were able to keep your facial expression! The smile is almost exactly the same size haha! Here's to your next power-of-2 years😄

Honored to have a true blink-and-you’ll-miss-it background role in this amazing video! You truly are creating the coolest stuff at all times! Also I love the song choices.
This is definitely one of the best videos I've seen on this platform. There's this weird element the video that brings a sense of growth and nostalgia at the same time that's hard for me to describe.
He’s had this going for 8 years under the rug. 8 YEARS. I couldn’t even imagine.

Props to Cary for standing still for 8 years
What a champ
lol
lmao
yeah such a chad
he didnt sit still he just came back there once per day to take a photo 😡😡😡😡🤪🤪🤓
It WaS 8.082 YeArS.
The fact that he put the days when the photo was taken, the bar that showed what was happening, his channels, its subscribers, what video was made, how many videos it had, how many views it had, the most popular song, movie, event, Days since last haircut, My life box, This vid box, AND added what season it was is just mind blowing. The amount of time this video would have taken to edit. I would not have the patience to do all this. Huge massive amount respect to Cary.
For those who are camera-shy, I've been keeping a spreadsheet since 2019 where I log what I've been doing every half-hour of every day into one of 15 categories, with some space to optionally write down some thoughts for that day. It's really neat to go back to a random day two years ago and be able to "relive" it. Highly recommend.
Half-hour?!
ADHD: impossible.
I'm kinda curious now. When the covid lockdowns started, how was it? What did you do at 9:30 AM on Monday, March 16, 2020?
@@jakerussell135 hahaha. I had off from work, so that day I slept from 3 AM to 11:30 AM. I got up / shower / breakfast and called my parents, and then kinda lounged around for a few hours. I watched highlights from the previous evening's presidential debate (which I tagged as "news"), watched 3blue1brown's ted talk on math education (which was awesome enough to warrant a mention in that day's thoughts), and then an hour of "study" which I explained as "geometry problem" (I assume I found it online somewhere, inspired by the 3b1b talk). That afternoon I tutored someone for 2.5 hours in AP Psychology (not remotely my strong suit, I'm kinda surprised I did that). Dinner was 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, and another half hour tagged as "news" right after. The rest of the day was more leisure time with no more explanation, with bedtime at 3:30 AM.
@@johnchessant3012 ah yes the classic early covid high sleep schedule. love it
Hey what did you do in july, 4th 2022
Wow! Not just for sticking to this for so long, but for writing a new card each day with whatever was going on in your life that day. Even if you didn't keep THAT part up every single day, you still did it for over 2 years straight.
i just realized he also used about 1000 sheets of paper lol (he stopped using the papers around there)
2:08 i kinda wanna know what that redacted part says LOL
Thanks TheEverythingTheorist! Honestly I tried to think of it like brushing my teeth, meaning, "no going to bed unless you've taken your photo".
Also, pvic, yeah I stopped after Day 998 because I didn't realize how close I was to the big 1,000 LOL silly me (but I reached Paper #1,000 in 2020 so it's all good)
@@carykh I wonder if you're the only person who has single handedly gone through multiple reams of paper haha. Anyway, I LOVE this is something you did. It's so very you and I think its really cool
@@carykh You stole the life I never had!!! I've done nothing these past 7 years
@@carykh you should read atomic habits! it’s a book about harnessing exactly that principle!
One thing I loved about the papers, no matter where I paused, you always did something interesting that day. Even if it was small. Called up your friends, went to see a movie, helped your dad with a python script, uploaded a TWOW episode, learned some Japanese. You fit so much into those 8 years. Well done and fantastic project.

I started documenting every day of my life with videos/photos in January 2020. I recently hit day 1000 (2.5 years) and this video was the exact thing I needed to see. This is awesome!
I had thoughts to do something like it too, modern day, we just don't have time to be writing diaries. Plus with tech, we can really relive what we went thru so. But eh
Wow, it's really cool to hear from other people doing a similar photo-a-day project! I'm glad I'm not the only one. (As a side note, I can't believe it's already been 1,000 days since January 2020.) Anyway, if you ever decide to upload a time lapse of yours, I'd love to see it!
@@carykh it’s mostly videos of my every-day activities and then photos of the world around me as it changes. So I make videos about the project but maybe I can create a Timelapse at some point too 👍🏼
when u mentioned the medely of the popular songs of that time and when I rewatched them I was just in awe.. everyone who was apart of this project deserve the praise!
Never realized we were the same age! Not sure if it's inspiring or demoralizing to see how much you've done in 8 years compared to me haha. Wish I had the same idea back in 2014!
Amazing video, well worth the 8 year production time
well, its never too late to start
Thanks Realgaps, 25-year-olds unite! And also, I remember in 2014, I already thought it was "too late" to start a project like this because I was already nearly an adult. But I like this video not because you see me grow up (bc you don't), but because you can see the cool experiences I've had. So the moral is: it's never too late! :D

This is really cool. My uncle who is 55 has kept a journal every day since he was 18. I think stuff like that is really cool, it’s easy to forget days that aren’t notable and things like this help to preserve them.
That's so cool, do you know how much he writes everyday? I'd love to have something like that and it's one of the reasons why I journal, to have something to look back at when I'm older, I'd love to read entries from say 20 years ago

Wow, thanks for the kind words, Fluffball The Wizard! I know I have my own sort of “data-heavy” style haha. So I’m honored you think of me as someone who could do this well! 😊
The peers that died makes me sad… to think some people die so much earlier than others who are living their life and making the nost out of it… i’m just glad you are!
This is just- amazing! I love that there were the latest headlines in almost every card!

this video has mad effort in it. I could stop any frame and see a new story about a new day in your life. truly amazing. damn.
I love the fact that you put so much information in your videos, it makes them even more interesting to watch!! :]
Out of all these types of videos, this is by far the best one I've ever seen. The, assuredly, immense amount of effort that went into adding all of the other information is incredibly appreciated! I feel like I could watch this video back multiple times and find something new due to the pure amount of information, milestones, and markers of time included.
You have very important keys in your life all set in photos here, thats amazing you stayed ontop of things like that!! I could never, but you accomplished so much, be proud of yourself. 👏

Two incredible youtubers in one place!
Hey Cary, I'm almost 2 years into my own daily photo timelapse project, and just... wow. The effort put into this is so far and beyond what most other people do.
First off the alignment is spot on, and especially impressive given no completely obvious reference points to align from. Doing whole top body shots as well, would put so much more effort into needing to take the photo each day. Even just a consistent smile, I ended up having to near frown in all my photos, since its the most consistent face I could muster. And then most obviously the cards, they're amazing. All the key info, sweet personal anecdotes to look back on, and some world news. I can't even imagine how much harder that all made it to take the photo each day, yet you pulled it off flawlessly! The best I managed to do on that front was a date in the corner added in editing lmao. And that's just half of it, all the stuff on the side, from the visual timeline to the world's pop-culture is amazing, and I'll probably do a version of it myself when I hit a decade, so thank you for the idea!
Also I certainly agree, photos with friends are by far the best to look back on. Anyways, sorry that rambled on, just wanted to appreciate how awesomely you've put this all together!
The idea behind this video is really amazing. But what's MORE amazing is that you have taken photos of yourself daily. And, considering the timespan, it's actually mind-blowing how you never get bored of taking these photos. Really inspiring, Cary. Way to go.
bfdi was a great show i watched it when i was five. thanks for animating it cary my childhood memories are so entertaining :D

Hello ❤
Mr. Beat here is incredible. Did you see the card for January 6, 2021?
yooo, glad to see you smiling everyday bro
I am writing my college apps right now and have no real idea what the future holds so this video relates a lot with me. You also do programming and robotics which is kind of cool. it's crazy you cataloged the different events and stuff. You must have developed some crazy code to make this project work. Your work is inspiringman. Keep up the good work!
this is incredible in classic cary fashion. As a nerd who thinks about a lot of things like this, you inspire me. Keep up the awesome stuff man. I've been keeping a digital diary myself and am on day 1,077 today, I believe.
THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING PROJECT, judging by the amount of absolutely amazing achievements Cary had he should be on the wiki page for the word "productive". Also Cary looks very good with long hair
During the covid section I noticed his hair getting long and the number go up and I was like "Is he going to go a full year without cutting his hair!?"
Cut just a few days after 10 months.
It looked so good though!
This video was amazing. Your note cards for each day were great, keeping that up must've taken a lot of effort. I'm currently a senior at Campolindo, and it's so cool to see that some of the teachers are still here these days
bro istg you're literally the coolest person ever
I really liked how you included what was going on with the world on the right hand side, and the amount of time you kept up the paper was insane, I couldn’t imagine. You’ve come a long way!
So fun! I feel like watching frame by frame so I can read each day's happenings. Great project!
its amazing how you stayed so consistent
Man, that must’ve taken a lot of effort. Great job! I wanna do something like that
wow it takes amazing dedication to do something like this! youre awesome cary :)
Cary, we're about the same age so i see you as a peer. Your dedication and determination inspire to me to no end. Youre amazing and you should feel amazing

I like your algodoo videos, they are part of my childhood and have been an inspiration for my own personal projects.
greetings from Uruguay :)
I might even do this awell, you are very inpersational and you were my favourite since I started subscribing in like 2017 or something. Keep up the awesome videos!
What an incredible accomplishment! Keep it up, this is something you'll be so grateful to be able to look back on in the future, if not already. (Also, pretty cool to see the card we met irl)
What makes this fun is pausing on specific dates that are special to you or other people, like your birthday or on Christmas and just seeing what stuff they did on that day. It’s really cool how they actually wrote out every single thing they did for (almost) 8 years. It’s also really tempting to pause on bits where their clothing changes drastically like when it goes from a shirt to a suit and tie, makes you really wonder what they did on that day.
Plus the dedication to do something like this baffles me, I’d probably stop on the 2nd day because I love procrastinating and I hate writing, really cool vid!
bro, i first watched this 9 months ago and i thought "Wow, fasatining" i didnt focus on the videos at all, i would never knew i would watch this channel ever again. But here we are, im a massive Bfdi fan now. So, thank you for making my favorite object show, Bfdi, i just want to say thank you for micheal and cary making my favorite yt show. And thats it
this is awesome dude!! i love the creativity!
That’s incredible Cary! Doing this for 8 years shows incredible dedication and motivation! Props to you bro and congrats!
I didnt even know bout this project but this is genuinely amazing and the fact that you did this for 8 years straight is so unbelievable!!!

Was super interested when I saw you work on one of the papers in person - very cool seeing all the progress!! 💚 & I relate with your feeling at the end with not feeling like you've lived the day until you've taken a pic, have had the same feeling ever since I started journaling! must be a common thing :O
Hi!!!!
And I love you video
The fact he also displays the current Movie, Song and overall Event of that very year makes me smile because I can see what past really looked like internet-wise.

He also make him 4 channel cubs count and how long that took just to see the smile on everyone face 😊
Good job!! 🎉🎉🎉😊
insane commitment, very underrated
I didn't expect cary to also have one of those in the works!!! :)
Interesting idea for another video, maybe:
Use a face morph software on these photos.
I did it for my son's 2 years daily photo project and it looked "interesting" (if you don't mind it being a little uncanny 😂).
Btw, i love the in sync info panel! I'd love to know if you automated that in some way, or did it manually 😱

Absolutely beautiful video, it’s very hard to commit to such a lifetime scaled project, but you did it! Also is it weird that the thing that excites me the most is that I can finally see Jacknjellify’s daily subscriber growth since sub counts are abbreviated?
So, this will blow up thanks to the RUclips algorithm. I have always loved your content, doing this for 8 years is so impressive, yet alone keeping it a secret, plus organizing it all, and even giving us events that happened along with the picture date. Thanks for the entertaining content, Cary
I’ve never seen this much commitment, and I know people have taken photos of themself everyday but writing a paper for everyday is a step up in my book. Amazing video or photos and those 2 videos you had during the Timelapse. I hope you continue to enjoy what your doing. ✌️😄👍
Also could you mind telling me how you kept all those photos organized throughout the years?
As someone who's had a daily diary for 4 years now, I'm always glad to see other people having their own life long project. At least for me, this diary has been exceedingly important and has given my life quite a bit more meaning than before. I hope it did so too for you carykh and for everyone else who has something like it.
Oh, and if you think that doing things like this is hard, then yeah, it's kind of tough, but once you get used to it, you won't notice it that much. Definetly try it, it took me 3 tries to actually get going with my diary, as the first 2 stopped after a month.
Just wondering, How much did you write for your diary? As in for every page not the whole diary.
s l u g c a t
@@arjunlagoon2015 Depends on the the timeframe. When I first started, I wrote around 100 words, sometimes much less if I didn't have much to say. Over time, I got more used to it and the word count increased. Around 1.5 years in, I think, I reached an average of 400 words, which has been the average ever since, though, it fluctuates a lot, as some days will be 200 and others will be 1000.
i’ve been doing something similar since last year and i’m really excited to see how mine turns out!
I started doing this same thing 7 months ago, with no card unfortunately and in my room to make things easy. I've missed a couple days here and there but I've tried not to beat myself up over it. It's been really fun and I can't wait to see how long I can go with it!

This one truly hits different, I still remember watching episodes of TWOW afterschool when I was in primary school (2015-16)
Then throughout 6 years of secondary carykh has always been the channel I came back to every once in a while
Now I'm less than 2 days away from going to another continent for university (studying computer science!!!)
Thanks cary for all the amazing content that I grew up with :D
Good luck in your travels!
Oh man you all make me feel old watching TWOW when my first baby was just born and now I have three lol.
Good luck that sounds so cool!

I agree with Zach, but just like you went to my town in Canada Day. 6:49 is the evidence.😁 Thanks for visiting my town, Cary!
thats crazy that the selfie a day genre inspired so many, im doing something really similar and started in highschool too! in my junior year of college and 20 rn but will probably release my first one after senior year idk we shall c
Its so cool that you managed to go to stamford and own a big youtube channel at the same time!
Being born in march of 1997 myself, it is super interesting to me seeing how well days matched up in the beginning with a lot of my life events. As well as watching the similarities slowly diverge over time as I got older and we took different paths. I haven't thought about the past in a while so it led to some good reflection and nostalgia. I feel like you have a great outlook on life, and I wish I had cherished the things I had more growing up. Never too late to start I guess.
