there's something so beautiful seeing someone having a conversation with themselves from the past. all of the answered questions, the growth in desires and attitude, etc. the "are you happy?" question really made it sweet.
Stop hating on yourself ❤ Each past version of you was different and unique but they're still all you, even if you now prefer wearing other clothes or hairstyles. You will have different preferences in the future too, but that doesn't take away from who you are now 🤗
idk if im just really emotional rn or what but im at the part when you actually read the letter and im SOBBING. im so proud of how far you’ve come, you’ve grown so much as an artist and a person as a whole and its been so amazing to see your journey unfold. i cant wait to see you do more amazing things!!!! im sending you so much love, you deserve the world
@@ThaddIpi’d think its because she has a big swiftie following and knows not to concern herself with John because thats the majority of her fanbase (edit): Not because she doesnt want to concern herself with John, there are many vids of her covering John’s songs and she wrote that in her letter for a reason. Its sad because i think a part of her would love to collab with him more since he is a musicians musician but her fanbase doesnt let her. Shitty af but its understandable, john isnt exactly PR positive.
this is emotional for me because i was a fan when you wrote that letter and i am a fan now. its been such a joy to see you grow as a person and an artist. also i just turned 20 this year and now i am feeling inspired lol. i have also seen you on every tour thus far (with my sister). always the two blonde girls in the front row in LA. love you always lizzy!
I was smiling the whole time when you were reading your letter, it’s been an honor seeing your career flourish, and watching you grow as a person. You should be so so proud of yourself, happy birthday Lizzy! ❤❤❤
it's beautiful seeing people realizing their dreams. like normal people, not nepo babies with thousands of connections. it makes me want to keep going as well and actually try my hardest to achieve my dreams instead of being scared of being judged.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY we’ll be waiting for your 30th birthday and we’ll watch that video by then. You deserve everything good that’s happened and that will happen to you. I love you and wish you the best in everything.
@@claudiacruz2104 she, Jacob collier and John Mayer collaborated on “never gonna be alone” - so there must be tea, idk what it is tho. I’ve heard John Mayer isn’t the greatest guy tho…
Thanks for sharing this. I'm 37 and just lost my dad this year to cancer. It's been devastating but I can't imagine losing your dad as young as you are...Enjoyed hearing your younger thoughts! May God give you strength going forward.
I’m 20 years old. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my dad died. And I’ve just gone no contact with someone who’s really really special to me after almost 5 years. I resonate with 20 year old Lizzy so so much; grieving and feeling so lost and uncertain. This video was just so calming and reassuring, seeing that it’ll all be okay someday. Love you Lizzy ❤️🩹
I did not expect to cry clicking on this video but it feels like that letter really struck a chord in me and I'm soooo happy for you and everything you've accomplished♥
watching you grow has been such an amazing feeling and journey, to say we like your music is just an understatement - we LOVE YOU and LOVE the way you write and sing and put so much feeling into everything you do and the way you mash it all together is so healing. thank you, and happy birthday sweet girl ❤
this was so wholesome and inspiring. thank u sm for sharing!!!! this encouraged me to write my 25-year-old self a letter, i'll update in 4 years if i remember to do so
happy birthday lizzie!!! i'm so proud of how far you've come and i'm so happy that you're happy :) as someone who just turned 20 and who's dad passed away when i was 12, you're music has helped me through so many phases of my life. from sobbing to it in my bed, to blasting it with the windows down driving down the highway, your music has truly spoken to me and made me realize that everything is going to be okay. and now i'm going to go write a letter to my 25 year-old self lol. i can't wait to see where we'll be in 5 years :)
love how this make me feel so inspiring, proud and happy. now im writing a letter to my 30years old me. thanks and happy birthday! you are awsome and your music is one of the bests of the world, keep being so true with yourself, this makes everything you do special (by a stranger perpective)
Omg I remember the dodie x lizzy era so vividly and even since 2020, I can safely say we ALL felt you were on the brink of smth groundbreaking and with every release you just get better and better and I’m just so so lucky to exist at the same time as you - we all are ❤ happy birthday lizzy 🎉
this video will make me cry!!! I've watched this obsessively because...wow! as an 18 year old, knowing so much can just change and get better in just 5 years gives me so much hope lizzy. there are so many times in a week where I think my life is in this telescope and everything seems so far away...this genuinely gives me hope. thank you lizzy. (ps. need to see you on broadway now!!!) your forever fan, jamie jams
you‘ve become older (and wiser) than your 5yr younger twin sister… it‘s my pleasure to be able to follow your creative journey! 🌻 See you in Antwerp in two weeks!
i saw you open for dodie, and that was my first intro to you. then when ceilings blew up i couldn’t believe how proud i was, and i got to see thousands of people cheer and sing your songs for the older tour. you’ve come so far! ❤❤
I love how your responses are like you’re talking to 20 year old you and are so excited and happy to show her who you are today & how far you’ve come 🥹 little lizzy is so proud of u
lizzy, my first date with my now fiance was your september 2022 chicago show & we just love you so much. you are incredible & this video is so beautiful
Somehow I'm only just now watching this 2 weeks after it came out... but honestly this is THE MOST wholesome and sweetest video ever. I turn 21 tomorrow and you have inspired me to write my own letter to my future self. Thank you, Lizzy for everything you do. Your music genuinely has saved me many times and I feel as though you are part of so many of my memories over the last few years
You are insanely talented and beautiful. You seem so down to earth and like someone would just love to hang with or even just create music. Sorry to hear about your dad, but he is proud of you. Keep smiling, your smile is heartwarming.
I’m turning 20 in November and you just inspired me to make a letter to my future self. This got me so emotional to hear the ambitions and questions of your younger self and you actually achieving it 🥹
i just turned 25 last week and wish I had thought of doing something like this, going to do for my 30 yr old self. so many things can happen in 5 years, happy birthday lizzy!
As someone that discovered you from Dodie's tour, it feels so strange and heartwarming that I've been following you for so little time ❤ happy birthday Lizzy
Happy Birthday Lizzy!!! To see you having this "exchange" with the you from 5 years ago and benefiting from it, is like us getting so much out of your songs 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
I needed a dose of charming conservation from you today to perk me up. Knowing you're OK and thriving makes me happy. Thanks for sharing with us. Your music is important to so many people including me, so thanks for it so much. I never got to study music as a young person because my father was against that but over the last few years I've been studying guitar and piano and working toward becoming a real musician in my own mind, so I know some of what you were feeling as a 20 year old. Playing great sounding music is one thing but becoming the musician you always wanted to be is a level way above just playing. Girl, you're there. Thank you for making it and bringing your amazing music to the world.
such a good way to check in with yourself and acknowledge all you’ve accomplished. so tangible and cool! I didn’t realize how much things had changed for you in such a short amount of time (ik 5 years is also a very long time depending on how you look at it) but just thinking that I saw you in Mexico in January of 2024 with the likes of Caamp, Noah, Mt. Joy, etc, is pretty crazy! look at you go. you should be so proud of yourself. it definitely seems like you’re being true to yourself and learning along the way. will be back to watch your 30th bday video! hbd!!
i’m just now getting to watch this but happy birthday lizzy!! i doubt you’ll see this but i’ll still put this here for someone else to hopefully come across. i remember in 2020 when i first came across you from finding ‘where do i go?’ on a recommended songs playlist and sitting on my swing set feeling all alone and lost at 13 and falling in love with your music. that entire fall i listened to all of “give me a minute” and ‘indigo’ on soundcloud. ever since then your music has been the one thing to keep me feeling hopeful for my potential career. ive been able to go see you tour twice, the first time being a few days shy of turning 16 at the atl show. i was definitely the youngest person at the q&a and i got the opportunity to ask you how to start song writing and you told me to just start writing and at the time it sounded so daunting but now ive started to write my own stuff and hopefully i can turn them into songs someday soon:) anyways now i turn 18 in 5 days and i just wanted to say thank you for always being a authentically you and for keeping your art real and raw. it’s really cool that i’ve gotten the opportunity to grow up to your music. cheers to 25, can’t wait to see where i am at 25!
Feliz cumpleaños Lizzy🎉🎂🫶 I just found you! Literally just now through one of your songs from 4 yrs ago. I couldn’t stop just right there and went to look for you and found this video !! Glad I did… better late than never right?!! You are an amazing songwriter, wise, caring, with an angelic voice that gets in people’s heart in awe and wonder . Thank you for honoring your God’s gift and share it with the world . Happy loving and amazing new trip around the sun 😊
Happy birthday Lizzy! 🫶 Your music has helped me so much, more than you could imagine. Your songs are a such comfort for me! I hope you know how loved you are. I started listening to you a few years ago and watching you grow has been amazing!! Thank you for being you. 🩷
“that’s all i’ve ever wanted” made me tear up bad
i love how this feels like i’m on facetime with you
yess
LITERALLY
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZY!" we all say in unison
as someone turning 20 in 6 months this is so comforting
Turning 20 in 6 days 😭
sameeee. and now I want to write a letter to my future 25 year old too
fr 20 in 2 months 🫶🏻🫶🏻
turning 20 in just over 2 months 😭
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!!
“No matter where you end up” this is the kind of unconditional love your father would be happy to hear has been passed down to yourself
i could just see how incredibly healing this was
“that’s all i’ve ever wanted” is so sweet omg i’m gonna sob
"A month ago tomorrow your dad died" took me out, the rest of what happened in this video is debatable 🥺
there's something so beautiful seeing someone having a conversation with themselves from the past. all of the answered questions, the growth in desires and attitude, etc. the "are you happy?" question really made it sweet.

you talking about being signed, having a manager and a team, the band, + tour. IM SO EMOTIONAL PLEASE.
that’s letter was lowkey manifesting for you cuz most of the thing you wondered came true im so happy for you!
"That's all I've ever wanted!" Beautiful!
8:47 “are you married? god i hope not” OMG 😭😭😭
Help no comment😭 I loved the performance you did with John and Jacob though… I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come, this is only the beginning.
i want to speculate what happened between them...... resisting very hard

thank you so much for sharing this. we love you and are so proud of you. 20 year old lizzy, you did it. 25 year old lizzy, YOURE DOING IT!!!

As a 20 year old this really excites me. That it does get better, and things can change so drastically so quickly.
Being 20 rn and seeing how FAR lizzys gotten with her career and seeing her so happy!🥺 so motivational and moving🩷 love you lizzy
the “no comment” after “have you met John Mayer yet?” made me SCREAM 🤣🤣
Did they date or something?
@@katiehayes8596no. they have a song together!
