Hi all, hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane! Let me know if you'd like to see a part 2 of this :) Follow me on my main channel: @sydneyplantguy
I love the kindness you showed your younger self. And I like that you were able to laugh off bits. I’m not in a creative field but I was so creative and maybe I’m still a little creative now. Either way, I’m grateful for the time I had in that space. Thanks for sharing the younger version of yourself.
You were a well dressed teenager and an imaginative photographer. Inspiration can be challenging but you have some great photos. Thanks for sharing this look back.
Lookbook was such a vibe! I even used Tumblr for those kinda pictures. All these photos of you remind me so hard of myself. I still love self portrait photography tho in kinda the same manner as back then 😊
This video kiiiiiiiiilled me 😂😂😂. Knowing we took our own pictures like that and then posted them ourselves on the internet is crazy to me now. We really did this to ourselves 🥴.
So cute! Looks like you totally could have been a model. I mean, you still could! When I was a teenager we barely had digital cameras and I certainly didn’t edit anything. I was busy having babies when you were doing all this!
Oh ... what a throwback 😅 we were all the same back in these days, it seems. Must have Nr. 1: pictures on railway tracks. Must have pictures Nr. 2: looking like you've got an alcohol problem and "drink to forget" (with 15 lol) and 3.: pictures in empty streets at night or in the forest looking like the most lost and lonely person on earth 😂 What a time. Loved your comments, this was hilarious. And your photoshopping skills were really good!
I LOVED this video, Jan! I'm 33 and i completely relate to EVERY photo because my group of friends and I all obsessively took photos of ourselves and heavily edit them to post on myspace. ❤
I loved this video! You were a very well dressed teenager! I had a goth faze in high school and it's fun every once in a while to look back at old photos!
It’s fun to look back at a time when life was a bit more carefree and no real responsibilities. You remember what you thought was important and now realize it wasn’t. Priorities change, prospective changes too. You get to see the transformation unto adulthood. I think you were a handsome young man then and you still are…not hitting on you, I could be your mom, and now you have a whole group of RUclips people that love you. You’re one of my favorites! Glad you listened to your mom…we have fantastic opinions and give great advice! ☺️
This was great to watch, thanks Jan! I did a school exchange in 2005 (Aus-Germany) and the emo phase was huge then! I remember writing in my diary about how many guys had long hair! Was definitely a culture shock to this then 17 year old QLD girl, but I absolutely loved it and even embraced it a tiny bit 😆
Brilliant time machine😃 Amazing how similar trends we had in Poland during that period, nice to remember! What now seems embarrassing to us, used to be cool and you were the definition of every those years and every fashion 😎 I used to take photos in those days too and I suspect you would have been the perfect model then hahah But the "emo" era killed me, I was dying of laughter. Great video and glow up! 😄
That was a fun trip down the lane for you, thanks for sharing.❤ Love that you're open and willing to have a laugh. 😅 Still as talented and cute as ever, but obviously missing the hair. Why not grow it? My fave is "just livin my life" 🤩😄
Cute! It's always interesting to see yours/others & cringey to see my own XDD Photography is good hobit to keep lots of memories. Teenage years we all care too much about our looks & quite self-centred, fact! flour 🤣 Superman phrase, spongebob stickers😆Uhm hummm😂 Thanks for sharing. If you are doing a photo set of yourself (not your plants) now, what would be your theme or style?
Ich liebe das Video 😂 Bei fast jedem Bild war’s ein: Oh Baby 😂 Look at you. Da sind so viele Bilder einfach so richtig Kartoffel-Deutsch 😂 Aber das war damals eine sehr sehr coole Zeitspanne. Fashion war da echt am Start 🙊🙈
So cool! Love the photos though 🤩 Wow parents not allowing you having gaming console? I love that they probably wanted you to have “outside” life. Look at the kids nowadays. Ours are only allowed to play on Fridays after school work and Sunday 😄 and only Minecraft and Sonic 😄
Didn't we all have a ton of these over-edited, cringy selfies when we were teenagers, made with our shitty digicams?! 😅 Except, I was not having the emo phase but rather going through some rock/goth/metal-chick kind of era 👻☠ Turning 34 this year and I am so glad, social media wasn't such a big thing back then. Do you remember schülerVZ/studyVZ?
Can I ask how you got that scar that you felt the need to edit out of all those photos? I also recently looked through a bunch of old photos (printed from film before digital) and had a good cringe laugh! Were you ever on MySpace? That was before Facebook and is where I met my husband like 4 years before we started dating.
I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for sharing! You looked stunningly handsome on so many of them. Uber masculine, far from twinky. My favorite is at 21:24. Please do a Part 2. Also, give my regards to Daddy Will when you see him. I hope you two are still doing handstands together. 😉
Oh that was soooooo cute! I wish today's teenagers dressed like this but unfortunately they don't. And the hair of yours! Amazing 🙂 It was so fun to see younger Jan, there's nothing to be ashamed, it's just the picture of the years 2000+ 😁
Wow, you really didn't age much! The straight sided hair was in style than, it's what every young guy wanted that fanous Justin Bieber hair look. Great photos!!
I love the kindness you showed your younger self. And I like that you were able to laugh off bits.
I’m not in a creative field but I was so creative and maybe I’m still a little creative now.

Thank you so much :)
What a fun peek at your creative beginnings. Clearly you are/ were talented and adorable, no cringe necessary for being on trend. Thanks for sharing 😻
Thank you so much!:)
Lookbook was such a vibe! I even used Tumblr for those kinda pictures. All these photos of you remind me so hard of myself. I still love self portrait photography tho in kinda the same manner as back then 😊
Haha it was such a vibe !! When the internet was still cute & innocent :D
This video kiiiiiiiiilled me 😂😂😂. Knowing we took our own pictures like that and then posted them ourselves on the internet is crazy to me now. We really did this to ourselves 🥴.
Haha nowadays I post videos 🫣🫣🫣 let’s see how they age 😅😅
Wish I'd taken a shot of vodka every time you called yourself cute...😂❤😂
Just watch it again 😅😅
So cute! Looks like you totally could have been a model. I mean, you still could! When I was a teenager we barely had digital cameras and I certainly didn’t edit anything. I was busy having babies when you were doing all this!
Loved watching you, watching yourself; that was so much fun Jan! Nice hair & you haven’t aged much. Thanks for sharing your youth with us!
Thank you Carol :)

What a time.

Thank you:)
My high school hair days were tall, ratted, and contained an obscene amount of hairspray! 😮
Omg I used to use a can of hairspray a week 😅😅😅
I LOVED this video, Jan! I'm 33 and i completely relate to EVERY photo because my group of friends and I all obsessively took photos of ourselves and heavily edit them to post on myspace. ❤
Haha glad I wasn’t the only one !!!

Haha yes 2005 would be the peak I reckon 😅😅
Loving this...💚
Very interesting to get a glimpse of younger you 😍
Thanks :)
The „Love the ✨Raufasertapete“ caught me right in the beginning 😂
Great video 👍🏼
Raufasertapete has got to be a german thing right?! I have never seen that in australia … we have popcorn ceilings though 🫣
@@morespg absolutely, but popcorn ceilings don’t sound too bad though 😂
We all have older photos that make ya go “what the heck k was I doing “! 😂😂😂😂 Love seeing all the old photos
Thanks :)
Brilliant time machine😃 Amazing how similar trends we had in Poland during that period, nice to remember! What now seems embarrassing to us, used to be cool and you were the definition of every those years and every fashion 😎

It literally looks like me and everyone I went to school with in Belgium hahaha takes me back to the good old days
Haha so early 2000’s european!
this is so sweet!! hilarious, but sweet.
Thanks :)
I think it’s adorable! You were creative at a young age. It’s not surprising at all you ended up here 🥰
Thank you:)
I really enjoy this! ❤❤❤
Thanks :)
This was a very refreshing and for me interesting video! The cultural and generational differences/distinctions. Very informative. Thank you!
Thank you:)
That was a fun trip down the lane for you, thanks for sharing.❤ Love that you're open and willing to have a laugh. 😅
Still as talented and cute as ever, but obviously missing the hair. Why not grow it? My fave is "just livin my life" 🤩😄
Hehe thanks :) it doesn’t grow as well anymore 😅😅
Everything….. EVERYTHING about this is GOLD ✅✅✅.
♥️ GT Maree
Thank you:)
Great photos, it’s great to look back on old memories. You could have been in a boy band with that hair. 😅
Oh trust me if I could sing I would have tried my hardest to be in one 😅
Cute! It's always interesting to see yours/others & cringey to see my own XDD
Photography is good hobit to keep lots of memories.
Teenage years we all care too much about our looks & quite self-centred, fact!
flour 🤣 Superman phrase, spongebob stickers😆Uhm hummm😂
Thanks for sharing. If you are doing a photo set of yourself (not your plants) now, what would be your theme or style?
Thanks :) mmmm good question - theme would probably be ‘basic’ 😅😅😅
@@morespg hahaha i can relate XDD
Ich liebe das Video 😂
Bei fast jedem Bild war’s ein: Oh Baby 😂 Look at you.
Da sind so viele Bilder einfach so richtig Kartoffel-Deutsch 😂
Aber das war damals eine sehr sehr coole Zeitspanne.
Fashion war da echt am Start 🙊🙈
The good old days!!!
A very nice looking young Jan 👌📸,great hair days...something we all relate to...great photography✨
👋
💚🌿🍀🌵💚
Thanks :)
I love, that you did a more personal video. Thanks for that!✨🌿also you looked so self-assured. Hut ab!
Best wishes
Yan (Gen Z😉)
Thanks :)
So cool! Love the photos though 🤩
Wow parents not allowing you having gaming console? I love that they probably wanted you to have “outside” life. Look at the kids nowadays. Ours are only allowed to play on Fridays after school work and Sunday 😄 and only Minecraft and Sonic 😄
Yes I played a lot outside & also played tennis 3-5 times a week so always out and about :) it was great:)
Didn't we all have a ton of these over-edited, cringy selfies when we were teenagers, made with our shitty digicams?! 😅 Except, I was not having the emo phase but rather going through some rock/goth/metal-chick kind of era 👻☠ Turning 34 this year and I am so glad, social media wasn't such a big thing back then. Do you remember schülerVZ/studyVZ?
Haha na klar erinner ich kuch an SchuelerVZ!! Haha what a blast from the past
Can I ask how you got that scar that you felt the need to edit out of all those photos? I also recently looked through a bunch of old photos (printed from film before digital) and had a good cringe laugh! Were you ever on MySpace? That was before Facebook and is where I met my husband like 4 years before we started dating.
I had a mole cut out, that's how I got the scar :) I remember myspace but wasn't super active on there :)
@@morespg Yeah, you would have been pretty young when using MySpace.
Aawww 😂 the emo phase was my fav 😅 if you can't laugh at yourself...
Once a creative, always a creative!
Haha the emo phase was so cool back then 😅
Reminds me of my old photos hehe
That’s great, thanks for sharing. Amazing hair 👍👍
Thank you 🤗
Cool pics!
Thanks :)
I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for sharing! You looked stunningly handsome on so many of them. Uber masculine, far from twinky. My favorite is at 21:24. Please do a Part 2. Also, give my regards to Daddy Will when you see him. I hope you two are still doing handstands together. 😉
I wouldn’t say uber masculine 🫣😅 but I’ll take it as a compliment :) we sure are! But it’s cold and wet out these days so we train indoors :/
@@morespg Forgive me. I've misused the word "uber". I meant it as "very", not "over". Yes, I intended it as a compliment.
💜💜
How did you get the scar?
Had a mole removed
Oh that was soooooo cute! I wish today's teenagers dressed like this but unfortunately they don't. And the hair of yours! Amazing 🙂 It was so fun to see younger Jan, there's nothing to be ashamed, it's just the picture of the years 2000+ 😁
Hehe thanks :)
You really could be a model. 🤩

Ha! That made my day 🥰🥰
Really cute photos, not cringe at all. 😉 thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! 😊
Danke fürs Teilen... ich denke, jeder hat in seiner Fotokiste ein paar lustige Aufnahmen. Werde die Tage mal in meiner Kiste wühlen...😅
Danke :)
Love your top😆
Thanks :)
So cute 🥰💕💕❤️and funny 😅I love this😍😍😍❤️so handsome 🎉
Thanks :)
Whats the story of the scar? 😊
I had a mole removed as a young teen
I'm assuming that making this video was maybe a form of catharsis. If so, hope it helped.
And yeah, we were all emo back then.
Haha definitely !!
1min 26 seconds in and YES!!!!!!!
So, so handsome. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks :)
Nice photos. Very handsome
Thanks :)
Cute 😂😻🌿😻
Haha it's screaming Germany, this is so funny 😂
