The point about holding grudges is incredibly relatable 😂 I simply don’t have the time or patience anymore to do so. The ability to go “that sucked, won’t be talking to that person again… moving on!” has made life so much happier. And even the part about fiction, having the ability to be able to say “this ain’t for me, but that doesn’t mean it’s Bad” is something I wish was more commonplace on The Internet™️. When I was younger I definitely invested more time into things like ship wars and discourse (ugh) and growing a bit and learning to just enjoy what I enjoy and focus on that joy makes life so much easier. Oh the memories 😅
Omg yes! The “this isn’t for me but that doesn’t mean it’s bad” is a viewpoint often missing from conversations! Even about people! “I wouldn’t make that choice for me but that doesn’t mean it’s a wrong choice!”. Ahhh nuance! ♥️
This is so funny to me because I remember watching this video when it came out when I was 17 and thinking you were so cool and relatable and now watching as a 27 year old, I think the same about you now! It’s fun growing up alongside creators in a way. This made me nostalgic for a time when I ached to be quirky and had very few responsibilities. Thanks for sharing pieces of your life with me and the rest of your audience for so long!
Oh young Carrie I remember her and that wall well. My biggest shock is how much your voice has changed of the time. Seeing how much you’ve grown and understand your self more x
Oh my god i remember this video being uploaded!! Your background ukulele music takes me right back to being 13 years old and taking everything you were saying in as an "honourary big sister", but now being 23 myself I'm like oh my god we were both only babies!! As a fan of 10+ years, this style of video is definitely my cup of tea!! 🤣❤️
I think the intro is my favourite part! 😂 That first clip literally took me back to 10 years ago and actually watching this! Crazy. I'm now 26 and married 😂 Loved this video 😊 it's always so fab to just sit and listen to you like we are having a good old natter. It's made me think about how much I have changed and my own facts (or fiction) xx
This is the thing it isn’t just me that’s grown up! It’s everyone! Even when I watch old Vlog Brothers videos I feel this huge sense of nostalgia for something that doesn’t even seem or feel that long ago! Bizarre! ❤
Wow this video took me back. I didn’t remember the facts but when you started playing it, I instantly remembered watching it and that whole era of your channel. It’s definitely interesting seeing videos or journal entries of when we were younger and how much we’ve grown and changed and what we think about the same topic that may be wildly different!! Thanks for this trip down memory lane 🩷
This might be an odd thougt, but seeing as you used to film on your bed facing your bookshelves and you have a very similar setting now, it's like you're literaly facing your younger self.
I first found your videos via your Letters to Autumn series. Whenever I am feeling a little bit nostalgic or melancholy, I go back and watch them again. Love that series.
The contrast of the smaller Carrie who I first watched versus the Carrie you've matured and grown into was ineffably nostalgic and slightly magical in a way I can't honestly put words to. Whilst no-one can deny that you have this air of wiseness and nuance about you now, and perhaps you're slightly more... self-sure? Comfortable in who you are?... there's still an unshakeable foundation of what drew me to the various platforms and exploits of Carrie Hope Fletcher in the first place, years ago. I also really admire how you didn't insult the you from ten tears ago, if that makes sense? (I probably couldn't.) It's very easy to look back and dismiss the people we used to be and what mattered to them but they obviously played a very large hand in who we are now. Now, I certainly don't practice what I preach and would rather forget large chunks of life that younger me decided were good ideas, but I think we should smile at (like you did, rather sweetly!) rather than be embarassed of past versions of ourselves. Because whatever mistakes they made or however naive they may have been, without them you wouldn't be the person you are today, and they can be very adorable to watch, especially in your case! ❤❤
Yes yes yes! Updated 7 facts about you or any number of facts would be amazing 🎉❤ An I would love love love to see a video of you and Joel doing a couples or marriage or husband/wife tag if they're still a thing? Idk but if Joel and yourself are comfortable with that, it would be lovely to see ❤
Seeing you watch back old videos and reflect on them has made me go back and read old livejournal (I’m old haha) posts I made over 10 years ago. I just love reflecting on how much we evolve and grow in the many versions of ourselves. Thanks for inviting us into your own reflection and for inspiring me to do my own. Loved this video just as much as I love all the ones you do. 😍 hope everyone is having a great day! Xoxo
My brain definitely does the same shutting down thing with numbers. Really shows how the core of your personality remains while the more immature parts like keeping grudges or fantasizing fall away or at least become less intense as you grow into yourself, take on more responsibilities and use your energy a bit more wisely. (I've been subbed to you since the early days, makes me wonder how much I've changed in that time...for the better ofc 😂❤)
I love this! I've been watching your videos since before that one, so it was fun to see baby Carrie again. Would totally love an updated 7 facts video if you want to make one!
Not gonna lie, had a bit of a bad day but this made it better. I love how you can see how much you've grown as a person in the last 10 years and you reacting to your self made me laugh. Thank you Carrie
I also identify as a book dragon! I really struggle to let go of books I've read unless I really didn't like them. I just think of it as building my home library for my future family to enjoy.
This was a really fun video to watch! I’d definitely watch more videos of you reacting to your older ones! Side note: over a thousand books qualifies as an official library!! Extra side note: talking about old videos, your song I’ll Find a Way still plays in my head when I’m cleaning the house 😂 ❤
I remember watching this when this came out, I'm so happy you're doing more sit down videos! definitely more of my type of video with you xx have been thoroughly enjoying the ones you've been posting!❤ I miss old TH-cam so nad and watching old school sit down videos like this is so comforting and enjoyable to watch
It sounds like you have dyscalculia like me Carrie! Numbers have always been hard but a couple of great and specialised maths teachers saved me back at school :)
I love some of your expressions while watching and listening to your younger sejrz especially when little Carrie was talking about struggling with maths (I have dyscalclia myself abd needing mathw tuition for the entirety of school but am now doing a PhD in Creative Writing!). Since hitting my 20s I have put a lot of energy into trying to be kind to my younger self so it was lovely to see you doing that here. I also remember that video coming out and watching it on my newly bought first laptop because I didn't have a smart enough phone yet!
I used to watch you 10 years ago (the itswaypastmybedtime days), Im only a year older than you 😊 not as much today, so It was very fun to watch you do this. Glad you're doing so well Carrie
I remember when that first video came out, it’s really cool to see you reflect on it and have this tangible indicator of how much you’ve grown and developed while still being the same at your core. Sometimes I wish I had that, but I do have my old Facebook posts from 10+ years ago to compare myself to!
It's so nice getting to know you again. It's helping me realise I have changed a lot since I was 20 and I need to get to know myself again. Thank you ♥️
Really loving these videos where you react to old videos! So interesting to see your growth, and having been with you since the start, its so nice to have been on the journey with you :)
I think it's so nice to look back on our younger versions and see how much we've grown. I feel like in the last 10 years my confidence has gone up so much and I think so differently to younger me but I guess sits the life experience that does that. Would love an updated one
You talking about what you used to make videos on before musicals reminded me that I first found you through your Fairy Fails series. You called Rapunzel a "silly moo" and I instantly thought "I'm going to like it here" 😆
This was so interesting to watch!!! You should do more "react" videos like this to really personal previous videos! Like ones about you, and see how the past 10 years have changed you ☺️ so cool to see!
I definitely agree with the holding grudges part - as I've gotten older (at the time of writing, I'm 28 - closer to 29 now oh god) I've found it so much more rewarding to wish my enemies well. My therapist taught me this about two years ago when I was healing from a bad friendship, and she asked me to do a role-play of a final conversation with this friend, and at the end she asked me to wish her well. Now I've been able to wish her and several other people who have done me wrong well. I'm still harbouring a lot of anger at one person who was in my life, but the reason I still do is because they had every ability to earn that form of respect, but they haven't. All I can hope is that they're realised what a horrible person they were to me, and are taking steps to do better. Wishing my enemies well has brought me a lot of peace and understanding, and it's paying dividends for my mental health.
Very strange to think how I've been watching your channel for over 10 years. It definitely doesn't feel that long and now I'm kind of in shock lol. But I remember watching these early videos of yours and look back on them very fondly
This video gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling inside, I love that you've returned to old carrie videos :) also the fact I turned 21 last week also seems crazy to me that I could mature so much, as you have, over the next 10 years +! Xx
Been watching you since that 7 facts about me video exsistant like many of us and its so fun to watch you watching little carrie that we as viewers grow up watching! (If that makes sense!) Thanks for a fun video! ❤
Oh wow, I definitely remember this video! I also had a tooth fall out twice, but mine was in front, so even though the gap is closed, it's still quite noticeable. I wonder if this is more common than I thought? I didn't know anyone else had this!
I love yor reactions to your younger self, maths has never and still will never be my strong point but you made some very interesting points about not holding on to grudges and I can see you are definitely a genuine person or you would not have sharedd it with all of us.❤
I would like to request a video on your curly hair routine. What products you use, how you style it etc. I enjoy all your vids though, especially the chatty ones :)
I gave most of my books to LifeLine when I moved out of my parents house! Went from boxes and boxes to a miniature shelf with probably ~25 books! I only kept the sentimental ones or the ones I make a point to reread every year. The rest I knew I could always borrow from the library if I wanted to read again and I thought better to be donated and given a second life than to take up space. I guess I'm a worm, not a dragon!
I would do love to have videos of myself like this to just fully understand what past little me was like and how she thought! Because now I feel like my brain just thinks SO DRASTICALLY different! I definitely still need to learn to say no more though, so I need to learn from you 100%! I would love to be a bookworm but I definitely think I am a book dragon, but that’s a cooler term right?!
i'd love to see some crown jewels vlogs! i'd love it if you vlogged when you come to cardiff, I'm hoping to come and watch the show there! i love your videos and you inspire me as I'm hoping to be a musical theatre performer in the future.
I can’t imagine how weird (and hopefully wonderful!) it must be to have this archive of past you to look back on. Lovely seeing your more mature reactions and how things have and haven’t changed. An updated one would be great. xxx
It is bizarre and sometimes I wish I wasn’t able to look back as it’s very cringeworthy sometimes but then I reckon the more distance I get the easier it’ll be to look back and I’ll be grateful! ❤
I am a great "dole out"-er of gifts, but they hold very little value to me when I receive them-it's so funny those differences in how we give and receive love!
I have dyslexia with numbers not diagnosed till university I didn’t pass maths still really struggle and like you am good with creative and written language and drama
I think I heard somewhere that you’re either a numbers or a words person & I find it so true. I’m very much a book worm, loved English at school & didn’t (don’t) get on with maths. My other half is the opposite, very much a maths guy, an engineer & would rather do literally anything than read a book.
Great video Carrie. Happy Friday and have a lovely weekend. It's strange I am currently doing a similar thing I really want to create a new book with updated opinions from a book I wrote in 2015.
Grudges are interesting as you get older aren’t they? I feel like the question of “do I forgive them” goes from the central question to a question that doesn’t feel like the right one. There are people where it’s like, to say I forgive them or want them in my life is wrong but to say I don’t forgive them is also wrong because I’ve let go of the resentment and anger.
What’s interesting about love languages is that we can have different love languages that we accept and that we give. My favorite thing though is finding out how people interpret love so that I can adequately give them love in a way they understand.
Firstly best intro ever! Thoroughly enjoyed this and watching your reactions to younger you! Took me back too. Gosh, 10 years! I used to watch content on TH-cam religiously back then now the only reason I still have it is to watch your content! Time moves way to quickly. Do more videos like this! I still really like your letter to 16 year old self video. I watch that one often. 🫶🏻
You getting a C in maths makes me so happy just because I got two cs in maths (they made us take the GCSEs twice) and I got the exact mark think it was 49 or something then in both tests - and I think that's my favourite fact about me that I got the exact mark twice haha!
Wow. I cant believe its been so long. Feels like the time flew by, but I have been watching your videos since the beginning. We have both grown so much but its nice to see that some things haven't changed. (Horray for upping the book count! Im a book dragon too! 😂) Ps. What is the Sonder Society? I feel like I missed something. I just turned 40 so maybe im started to lose the plot? 😂I know its one of your fav words so im assuming it's something u created, Carrie.
I abhor math and wasn't good at higher math. Enjoyed vlog. A couple of questions: will their be a cd for Crown Jewels? If you were offered a role in Wicked, would you prefer Elphaba or Glenda? Will Crown Jewels extend its run? And lastly are you working on your next book? Take care. Best to you and Joel.
Sorry if this is crossing a boundary, for context I also have this condition and related very much to how you described your experienced with maths, but what you described with numbers kind of sounds like dyscalculia! I can’t hold numbers in my head, my brain just can’t process them and never managed to get above a D at GCSE
I was just thrown back 10 years to when I was living at home with my parents, dating my ex-boyfriend and trying to figure out where in the world I was going! What you say about the mat reminds me of dyscalcelia (?). It's like dyslexia but for numbers. It doesn't exactly match, but it's very similar. And while I don't think it's something you need to investigate based on what you're working on, I just want to mention it. It is not as well known as dyslexia and if what you are saying reminds someone else, it might lead to someones life beeing a bit simpler if they find you they suffer from it.
I bear grudges. If someone hurts me I do not forgive them. I'm not a hugger but I will happily respond to a hug from someone I care about. I don't like people touching my feet - God help me if I ever need to go to a chiropodist. :) Maths was never my best subject but I am basically numerate. I think I am both a book worm and a book dragon as I have many books and also read a lot.

Loving Carrie's full on "I forgot that you existed" moment. Good for her.
You watching and reacting to ‘little Carrie’ makes my heart so happy.
She would be so proud of how future carrie turned out
Ahh thanks! I hope past me would be proud! ❤
Anyone else loveeeeee the eye roll when past Carrie ‘no matter how many people you ship me with’ and current carried rolled eyes so hard 😂
The point about holding grudges is incredibly relatable 😂 I simply don’t have the time or patience anymore to do so. The ability to go “that sucked, won’t be talking to that person again… moving on!” has made life so much happier. And even the part about fiction, having the ability to be able to say “this ain’t for me, but that doesn’t mean it’s Bad” is something I wish was more commonplace on The Internet™️. When I was younger I definitely invested more time into things like ship wars and discourse (ugh) and growing a bit and learning to just enjoy what I enjoy and focus on that joy makes life so much easier. Oh the memories 😅
Omg yes! The “this isn’t for me but that doesn’t mean it’s bad” is a viewpoint often missing from conversations! Even about people! “I wouldn’t make that choice for me but that doesn’t mean it’s a wrong choice!”. Ahhh nuance! ♥️
Pre-Les Mis: “Black and white, no grey”
10 years later: “Grey is a signature color”
I would love a series of Carrie Reacts to Carrie. These are so fun!
This is so funny to me because I remember watching this video when it came out when I was 17 and thinking you were so cool and relatable and now watching as a 27 year old, I think the same about you now! It’s fun growing up alongside creators in a way. This made me nostalgic for a time when I ached to be quirky and had very few responsibilities. Thanks for sharing pieces of your life with me and the rest of your audience for so long!
I love Carrie's little smile as she watches her younger self! I'm so proud of her ❤
Brain shutting off to numbers is the most relatable thing!! You rewatching old videos is a definite series I want to binge 😂❤
Oh young Carrie I remember her and that wall well. My biggest shock is how much your voice has changed of the time. Seeing how much you’ve grown and understand your self more x
Haha yeah I’m always a little shocked at my voice! How high it is and how much accent has evolved too!
@@Carrie You used to speak faster too! 😄
Oh my god i remember this video being uploaded!! Your background ukulele music takes me right back to being 13 years old and taking everything you were saying in as an "honourary big sister", but now being 23 myself I'm like oh my god we were both only babies!! As a fan of 10+ years, this style of video is definitely my cup of tea!! 🤣❤️
I think the intro is my favourite part! 😂 That first clip literally took me back to 10 years ago and actually watching this! Crazy. I'm now 26 and married 😂 Loved this video 😊 it's always so fab to just sit and listen to you like we are having a good old natter. It's made me think about how much I have changed and my own facts (or fiction) xx
This is the thing it isn’t just me that’s grown up! It’s everyone! Even when I watch old Vlog Brothers videos I feel this huge sense of nostalgia for something that doesn’t even seem or feel that long ago! Bizarre! ❤
This was neat, fun for us older subscribers to reminisce a bit, too
Glad you're good, Fletcher
Wow this video took me back. I didn’t remember the facts but when you started playing it, I instantly remembered watching it and that whole era of your channel. It’s definitely interesting seeing videos or journal entries of when we were younger and how much we’ve grown and changed and what we think about the same topic that may be wildly different!!

This might be an odd thougt, but seeing as you used to film on your bed facing your bookshelves and you have a very similar setting now, it's like you're literaly facing your younger self.
Omg this is so sweet!
I’ve watched you since 2012 and honestly it’s so interesting to see how everyone has changed and grown in that time
I first found your videos via your Letters to Autumn series. Whenever I am feeling a little bit nostalgic or melancholy, I go back and watch them again. Love that series.
Numbers..have you heard of Dyscalculia? It's like dyslexia but with numbers x

Loved this video just as much as I love all the ones you do. 😍 hope everyone is having a great day! Xoxo
Me too! And I think reflecting on that evolving helps us to evolve even more into better people. It’s all about self improvement! ♥️
My brain definitely does the same shutting down thing with numbers.
Really shows how the core of your personality remains while the more immature parts like keeping grudges or fantasizing fall away or at least become less intense as you grow into yourself, take on more responsibilities and use your energy a bit more wisely.

I love this! I've been watching your videos since before that one, so it was fun to see baby Carrie again. Would totally love an updated 7 facts video if you want to make one!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! Gotta start thinking of some facts …😅
Not gonna lie, had a bit of a bad day but this made it better. I love how you can see how much you've grown as a person in the last 10 years and you reacting to your self made me laugh. Thank you Carrie

The 2013 video was the first video I saw of you! What a lovely full-circle moment!
The fact I remember when that video came out 😂🤯 can’t believe it’s been 10 years! Love it!!
Weird right? Time seems to have melted away! ❤
Even the bookshelves as a background is a throwback to old Carrie videos!
Oh, I am absolutely a bookdragon! Omg I am in love with that new word!
I used to watch you 10 years ago (the itswaypastmybedtime days), Im only a year older than you 😊 not as much today, so It was very fun to watch you do this. Glad you're doing so well Carrie

It's so nice getting to know you again. It's helping me realise I have changed a lot since I was 20 and I need to get to know myself again. Thank you ♥️
Please do more of these reaction videos! I love seeing you look back at who you were then versus now
Awwwhhh my goodness, adorable!
Really loving these videos where you react to old videos! So interesting to see your growth, and having been with you since the start, its so nice to have been on the journey with you :)
I remember watching this video all those years ago, loved revisiting young Carrie.
I think it's so nice to look back on our younger versions and see how much we've grown. I feel like in the last 10 years my confidence has gone up so much and I think so differently to younger me but I guess sits the life experience that does that. Would love an updated one
Yes, I agree! It’s always a bit cringey to see how you used to think but very affirming to see how far you’ve come!
You talking about what you used to make videos on before musicals reminded me that I first found you through your Fairy Fails series. You called Rapunzel a "silly moo" and I instantly thought "I'm going to like it here" 😆
This was so interesting to watch!!! You should do more "react" videos like this to really personal previous videos! Like ones about you, and see how the past 10 years have changed you ☺️ so cool to see!
I remember you announcing you were going to be in les mis shows how long I've been around 🤣
I definitely agree with the holding grudges part - as I've gotten older (at the time of writing, I'm 28 - closer to 29 now oh god) I've found it so much more rewarding to wish my enemies well.

Your videos are always so inspirational and a lovely pick-me-up; I love the Disney, theatre and book ones
I loved this Carrie! Could we maybe see a video of you showing us your keepsakes, rings and perfumes from different roles?
Your unwashed hair looks beautiful and clean! Couldn't be me 😂(also, I love these types of videos!! Keep them coming!)
I am absolutely the same way with maths. I think it is partially having a creative mind. Very fun video!
Very strange to think how I've been watching your channel for over 10 years. It definitely doesn't feel that long and now I'm kind of in shock lol. But I remember watching these early videos of yours and look back on them very fondly
This video gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling inside, I love that you've returned to old carrie videos :) also the fact I turned 21 last week also seems crazy to me that I could mature so much, as you have, over the next 10 years +! Xx
Been watching you since that 7 facts about me video exsistant like many of us and its so fun to watch you watching little carrie that we as viewers grow up watching! (If that makes sense!)

I would like to request a video on your curly hair routine. What products you use, how you style it etc. I enjoy all your vids though, especially the chatty ones :)
omg i bought those little grass sprout bookmarks after seeing that original video 😭😭
I gave most of my books to LifeLine when I moved out of my parents house! Went from boxes and boxes to a miniature shelf with probably ~25 books! I only kept the sentimental ones or the ones I make a point to reread every year. The rest I knew I could always borrow from the library if I wanted to read again and I thought better to be donated and given a second life than to take up space. I guess I'm a worm, not a dragon!
i've absolutely LOVED growing up with you! (started following 2012)
I'm very much a book dragon too! And I also agree with the mathematics part, my brain just completely shuts off when it comes to numbers
Anyone else here after the pregnancy announcement? It's so crazy to think that Carrie is pregnant in this video!!
I would do love to have videos of myself like this to just fully understand what past little me was like and how she thought! Because now I feel like my brain just thinks SO DRASTICALLY different!
I definitely still need to learn to say no more though, so I need to learn from you 100%!
I would love to be a bookworm but I definitely think I am a book dragon, but that’s a cooler term right?!
i'd love to see some crown jewels vlogs! i'd love it if you vlogged when you come to cardiff, I'm hoping to come and watch the show there! i love your videos and you inspire me as I'm hoping to be a musical theatre performer in the future.
It's great seeing Carrie watch younger Carrie and see how far you've come! :)
Also, Where's your mug from?!😊
I can’t imagine how weird (and hopefully wonderful!) it must be to have this archive of past you to look back on. Lovely seeing your more mature reactions and how things have and haven’t changed. An updated one would be great. xxx
It is bizarre and sometimes I wish I wasn’t able to look back as it’s very cringeworthy sometimes but then I reckon the more distance I get the easier it’ll be to look back and I’ll be grateful! ❤
Love the term book dragon! 🔥
I am a great "dole out"-er of gifts, but they hold very little value to me when I receive them-it's so funny those differences in how we give and receive love!
I miss Rawry's nugget of wisdom on the end of the video
I have dyslexia with numbers not diagnosed till university I didn’t pass maths still really struggle and like you am good with creative and written language and drama
I am so impressed by Carrie. She is an amazing young woman
a) Your expressions in this video are fabulous.
b) I know the feeling of teeth being weird, so you have my sympathy
Love this Carrie ❤️
The maths one is so me. I failed my maths GCSE, my brain just can’t comprehend numbers 😂
I would love to know what it is in our heads that just shuts off…and why?! 😅
I think I heard somewhere that you’re either a numbers or a words person & I find it so true. I’m very much a book worm, loved English at school & didn’t (don’t) get on with maths. My other half is the opposite, very much a maths guy, an engineer & would rather do literally anything than read a book.
Love this video so much and love the hair color.
Great video Carrie. Happy Friday and have a lovely weekend. It's strange I am currently doing a similar thing I really want to create a new book with updated opinions from a book I wrote in 2015.
You should absolutely do it!!! Would love to read it! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed! ❤
@@Carrie thanks for your reply means a lot to do me ❤️
Grudges are interesting as you get older aren’t they? I feel like the question of “do I forgive them” goes from the central question to a question that doesn’t feel like the right one. There are people where it’s like, to say I forgive them or want them in my life is wrong but to say I don’t forgive them is also wrong because I’ve let go of the resentment and anger.
Oh! If I ever make another video again I will make one reacting to my fact video and see if they are still facts. 😍
AAHH ❤ so lovely to see you ❤
This is so familiar and makes me happy
Yeah we want!
This was a cool lesson I’m the same with maths I’ve always struggled with maths x
What’s interesting about love languages is that we can have different love languages that we accept and that we give. My favorite thing though is finding out how people interpret love so that I can adequately give them love in a way they understand.
Firstly best intro ever! Thoroughly enjoyed this and watching your reactions to younger you! Took me back too. Gosh, 10 years! I used to watch content on TH-cam religiously back then now the only reason I still have it is to watch your content! Time moves way to quickly. Do more videos like this! I still really like your letter to 16 year old self video. I watch that one often. 🫶🏻
Ahhh I’m so pleased you’re still watching! Means the world that you’ve stuck around ❤Thank you!!!
You might be dyspraxic Carrie. I'm dyslexic myself and the way u describe numbers is the way I feel about writing.
You getting a C in maths makes me so happy just because I got two cs in maths (they made us take the GCSEs twice) and I got the exact mark think it was 49 or something then in both tests - and I think that's my favourite fact about me that I got the exact mark twice haha!
bring back the fairy fails 😭😭😭 they’re my favourite. 😂😂
I have a maths degree and I can't do any sort of mental maths. Pfft, it's not needed.😅😂
This is so sweet to see this comparison, i was 12 when i saw the original now im 22 with a degree😂
Wow. I cant believe its been so long. Feels like the time flew by, but I have been watching your videos since the beginning. We have both grown so much but its nice to see that some things haven't changed. (Horray for upping the book count! Im a book dragon too! 😂)
Ps. What is the Sonder Society? I feel like I missed something. I just turned 40 so maybe im started to lose the plot? 😂I know its one of your fav words so im assuming it's something u created, Carrie.
Loved this, one question I have tho is do you still have that bookmark sprout and where did you get it from, if you can remember 😂
would absoloutly love it if you did another wierd words video (or 3 :D) i collect wierd words and quotes so would love to here some new ones
What a great video - loved it x
Thank youuuu! ❤
You may not be good at math, but you’re an excellent speaker, singer and actress.
I’m shocking at maths too. Can’t even do basic times tables. I’m always counting on my fingers.
I abhor math and wasn't good at higher math. Enjoyed vlog. A couple of questions: will their be a cd for Crown Jewels? If you were offered a role in Wicked, would you prefer Elphaba or Glenda? Will Crown Jewels extend its run? And lastly are you working on your next book? Take care. Best to you and Joel.
Sorry if this is crossing a boundary, for context I also have this condition and related very much to how you described your experienced with maths, but what you described with numbers kind of sounds like dyscalculia! I can’t hold numbers in my head, my brain just can’t process them and never managed to get above a D at GCSE
If you haven’t heard of it, it’s kind of like dyslexia but with numbers
I was just thrown back 10 years to when I was living at home with my parents, dating my ex-boyfriend and trying to figure out where in the world I was going!
What you say about the mat reminds me of dyscalcelia (?). It's like dyslexia but for numbers. It doesn't exactly match, but it's very similar. And while I don't think it's something you need to investigate based on what you're working on, I just want to mention it. It is not as well known as dyslexia and if what you are saying reminds someone else, it might lead to someones life beeing a bit simpler if they find you they suffer from it.
I bear grudges. If someone hurts me I do not forgive them.
I'm not a hugger but I will happily respond to a hug from someone I care about.
I don't like people touching my feet - God help me if I ever need to go to a chiropodist. :)
Maths was never my best subject but I am basically numerate.
I think I am both a book worm and a book dragon as I have many books and also read a lot.
I wish I had something like this to look back on when I was 20, I’m turning 30 in March and I am so different now lol
Ten-years-ago-Carrie seems like your little sister!
