I recently found a video on an old computer of myself in October 2008. In the video I talk about the present day and ask my future self about my current life. This footage was supposed to be on a DVD put into a 5-year time capsule, but nothing ever came of it. Because the footage was designed to be directed at my 18 year-old self, I figured that I would take advantage of it in the last month of my 18th year. So here it goes!

Why aren’t people talking about how lowkey heartwarming this is
Dena Rozario especially the Barack Obama part.
How 😂
I have that photo
Dena Rozario because it’s humorous
Ok did you get enough comments nd likes?
Why does your younger self sound smarter.
Mamacrow Helps thats cuz ur not
The internet made him lose brain cells when he got older, hence his apparent disdain for it shown in this video
Usually smart and " beautiful" people grows weird hahaha. Or maybe he just become less serious
Mamacrow Helps cuz he was young and entitled
Looks like his college is not that good lol
His 13 year old self was less cringey TBH.
wHY IS THAT REAL
You should see the 23 year old self
13yr old self seemed smarter and more sincere lol
Yeaa, hes 13 self seems more wise and collective.
i think he was being sarcastic
Best. Recommendation. Ever.
Hi kurt I'm paul
So Kurt tell us, it was Courtney after all now was it?
Kurt Cobain didn't you say the same thing on the video "counting to 210 in one breath" it's either one or the other Kurt!!!!!!!
Yes that was me. There is only one Kurt
Dude you are everywhere
RIP the fish, you will be truly missed
😭😭
Rip
Rip
George WBA facts because whyyy was I like 😭
How is the 13 old one less cringy than the 18 one
Because the 18 one was overreacting to the 13. Also, the 13 one is not a reaction, it's just predicting
Well, welcome to the future!

You look 13 even after 6 years XD
I was hoping someone would mention that. I couldn't tell which picture on the thumbnail was which.
Nah he doesn't, he looks his age, do you not look at most 17-25 year olds?.
Is anyone going to say you said 6 years instead of 5 he's 18

His 18 year old self is more cringey than the 13 yr old
i really just want to make a group called the anti-cringe word alliance
I mean the whole video was in good taste and comedy. If it’s entertaining as it is, also very wholesome, not really ‘cringey’ if you ask me.
If he acted like that just in general yeah it would be cringey but I mean in the context of the video it's not that cringey to me. To me it seems like he's just trying to match the awkwardness of the original video by being weird in this one. This video would be kinda dumb if he responded to all the questions normally like he was in an actual interview.
So true lmao
soooooooo true
Damn the detail is excellent

You should make one now to open when you're 30.

cavejourney I'm 13 and I'm gonna make one of these in a couple days with my friends. We'll watch it 7 years from now.
That sounds great. A lot happens between 13 and 20. Someday you may want to show it to your kids when they are 13.

Yea honestly idk what you mean by savage. He just looks like he’s try so hard to act. While his younger self when he was 13 seems to be more natural and is not trying so hard to act in front of a camera. People like this should NOT do that shit cause they just look weird and dumb like this is the only time ima watch this shit.
The lack of editing in this video shows it didn't take that long to make.
