He's grown so much. 2008 Phil was making videos but didn't even imagine that in 10 years those videos would be his career. He's done so much, he's accomplished so much, he's so happy. I'm proud of Phil Lester.
Phil is one of the most creative and hardworking youtuber in the world. So the position where he is standing now is perfect for him and he deserves more
Hi Phil, i'm not quite sure you'll see this but i'll let it float in the comments anyway. I just wanted to say how much of a lovely person you are, you have gone through so much hardship and here you are being gorgeous. Most huge youtubers brag about their success, never tweet any fans back, livestream often while working and doing busy things. You just love, love and continue loving. You get hardly any credit for your ideas and videos yet you've called no one out, your best friend may be more successful but your here encouraging him. Dan has suffered from depression and everything while you've been there to help him work through it. Your so supportive of everyone you come across and are so polite and are never wrapped in the fact that you have millions of subscribers and are 'higher or better' than us. You treat us like long time friends. Your just such a gorgeous human being and I can't help but admire you so much, I hope I make it to the Interactive Introverts Tour this year and get to see you. Keep being yourself because there is no one more Amazing! (Pun may be intended)!!
"Are you still doing that TH-cam thing?" *cries because Phil has over 4 million subscribers, has helped so many people, brings the phandom joy and happiness, has two books with his best friend and has been on tour with him, is going on another tour, has achieved so so much, and we are so proud of our sunshine, Phil Lester*
That punched me in the face. Like, this kid did it. Seeing someone older than you reading something that comes from when he was about my age and having proof that sometimes stuff not only goes as you hope it will, but also flyes beyond everything you've expected. That fills me with so much hope and positivity, especially in a time when "will I make it" is a question I ask myself every day
for some reason my heart smashed when past phil was like “call grandma more!” and then now phil was like “i can’t communicate with the afterlife” like agh don’t play with my emotions like this
I think the biggest turning point that affected his future was meeting Dan vice versa, we must be grateful the two met each other or Dan and Phil would never be a thing perhaps they may have not even been TH-camrs just so amazing how far they've come. Past Phil didn't ask for a something/someone to change his life, nor did he expect his life to turn out as brilliant as it is now with his career and things but you know what the say the best things in life are unexpected. :) 💗
I love this part: Anyways hope 2018 is treating you well and the world isn't too messed up "Well people are eating tide pods now so I think it might be time to move to Mars " Preach 👏👏👏
Maria Malia tbh I think tide pods are like um how do I explain it... they look interesting. But eating it is messed up. I do like it ironically though. I would never eat it cause if I die I’m the one to blame and store locking the pods up and then tide pods having to take action is stupid. Didn’t the government(or not) or something say something about it?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL!! you are an actual ray of sunshine in my life. i know it’s said a lot, but seriously, you are absolutely handsome, amazing, sweet, incredibly caring, and you are literally a ray of sunshine. you are so funny and lovable. you care for others, dan, family, and your fans. thank you for your blessing! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!♥️♥️♥️
yknow? I think this is officially my favorite Amazingphil video (which is saying a LOT) because something about it is just sort of comforting. sometimes I wish I could know my future right away and know exactly what happens without living it, but.. I don't have to. this vid was a sweet reminder that in the end, everything works out in it's own course. Phil had NO idea what was going to happen to him back when he wrote this letter in 2008, and look where he is now. very inspiring. Thank you so much, Phil!!
happy 31st birthday Phillip! Oh you've grown up so much **sniffles** I remember watching you as a wee fetus...ohh the days, okay on with the soppy stuff, you're such a great Person and I am very thankful for your existence, your videos always make me light up inside and smile every time, even if I'm not feeling very happy at all. Hope you have a great birthday with all your friends and family! (And that dani snot on fire guy)
Apparently I sent myself a letter as soon as I watched this... I was just complaining that I've lost my passion for life so it's neat to hear from someone who still had it.
I wrote a letter after watching this video and sent it 5 years in the future - it just arrived this week! Thank you for making this video, I had a blast reading the letter and seeing what 18 y/o me thought 2023 me would be up to lmao
Sorry what? That's what Phil asked if he should do in the video - it's right there. I did it after watching this. I went to the site and wrote a letter to myself 10 years from now aka 2028. What are you talking about "don't exist" haha
you are the first person that ive seen outside of america that actually likes american accents, most people i see just make fun of them (or basically just southern accents, because for some reason everyone seems to think texas encompasses all of america besides california and new york).
"Call grandma more!"
"I can't communicate with the afterlife"
My heart broke
Well i mean, wasn't his grandma a psychic? Maybe she passed something down ;)
Oh my heart hurt;__;
Sarah P. Same here!
She probably did pass something psychic to Phil, honestly if you've seen his reading Dan's tarot cards video it's scary accurate
"Did you ever get 50,000 subscribers?"
"..I got a...couple more than that"
*Do you know how much I love him*
“Still got my emo hair! Haven’t lost that yet. Maybe in 2019.” Oh Phil if you knew...
THE REBRAND IS MY LIFEEE
THAT'S WHAT I TOUGHT
Huh me from 2021 knowing that mcr came back together in 2019!!
little did he know...
"I didn't even know who that dani-snot-on-fire guy was".. im fine :')
_”I mean, when I wrote this I didn’t know who that Dani snot on fire guy was”_
*_Dan is just screeching in his room at the sound of this_*
Galexy003 That guy is incredibly loud I can't watch anything with Daniel in it at night or my roommate will probably stab me... I might not survive.
TamiQ Sounds painful, Danny boy’s screams can cause bleeding ears
Galexy003 so true my ears are still bleeding from that getting over it video or whatever it was
I have bad memory right now
Lol
Galexy003 that is a clear mental image right there
“I wonder if you’re still doing that TH-cam thing?”
*chuckles*
“I g u e s s”
"the emoji movie wouldn't be a thing...maybe that's a good thing"
THE SASSY I CANT
Phil: Still got the emo hair
*2 Months Later*
lol
I would like this but I don’t want to ruin the sacred number
“Maybe in 2019 it will be time for a change”
Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
6 more to 420
“Did you ever get 50 000 subscribers?”
You hear that?
That's my heart

“Imagine if I dropped dead in the middle of this video. LOL!”
He's grown so much. 2008 Phil was making videos but didn't even imagine that in 10 years those videos would be his career. He's done so much, he's accomplished so much, he's so happy. I'm proud of Phil Lester.
Phil is one of the most creative and hardworking youtuber in the world. So the position where he is standing now is perfect for him and he deserves more

*cries because Phil has over 4 million subscribers, has helped so many people, brings the phandom joy and happiness, has two books with his best friend and has been on tour with him, is going on another tour, has achieved so so much, and we are so proud of our sunshine, Phil Lester*

“I walked in front of the queens guards path and they were like

“Did you ever get 50,000 subs?”

yea it broke my heart because it reminded me of my mother
So is that a thing? American kids want a British accent and British kids want an American one?

AbbyThePanda as a British person I got really confused at the date for a moment lol
Holly Bwalya haha, sorry :P
As an European, I agree alot with that statement. Also, Phil is my ball of fluffy innocence and pureness.
For a good 5 minutes I was like "aren't there only 12 months???"
Mia .Lopez me whenever I look at an expiration date
This is honestly so cute, it’s made me realise how far phil has came and I’m so proud of him
Eden Caswell he rly is the cutest living creature ov us all😂

2018: no but even better! People eating tide pods!
one of my guy friends ate one and filmed it
*"Didn't even know who dani snot on fire was" still dragging danis not onfi re i see*
This video is hands down one of phil's best videos. I love seeing how much he developed as a person ❤

gemlikestardust h
He said maybe in 2019 and then gets his hair restyled like next month
I wish I could meet Phil from the past and let him know he's a weird kid but that's great and soon he's gonna meet another weird kid and live with him
baby dab aw how i love phil, imma hug him so tight when i meet him in the tour
awwww ikr? ❤️
FalsePositivity now I'm sad. I couldnt get tickets.
It's crazy how life happens so fast but maybe sometimes a bit too fast. But I can definitely relate to Phil 😁👌🏻
Still a better love story than Twilight
DANI SNOT ON FIRE.
Your haircut now is WAYYY better than then...:)
Tbh it’s not that hard to get better than 2008 Phil hair
Thank you for using proper grammar XD
2:48 i love whoever made the english (united kingdom) subtitles and specified it was a 'jellyfish mating call' sound phil made 😭 😭
I think the biggest turning point that affected his future was meeting Dan vice versa, we must be grateful the two met each other or Dan and Phil would never be a thing perhaps they may have not even been TH-camrs just so amazing how far they've come. Past Phil didn't ask for a something/someone to change his life, nor did he expect his life to turn out as brilliant as it is now with his career and things but you know what the say the best things in life are unexpected. :) 💗
Beautiful Creature Yeah, definitely. I'm so grateful that they met. They've helped me through a lot of shizz.
Time to go watch a whole ass video of fetus Phil playing his piano sock
Jac MOOD
SAME
I want a pair of those socks 😅
"I mean, when I wrote this I didn't even know who that dani snot on fire guy was"
Oh how much I love you Phil 😂😂😂

WHEN YOU SMILE, I FALL APART
And I thought I was so smart
I would bleed and fight for Phil, tbh 😅😑
“Did you block that crazy kid dan Howell?”
I love this part:
Anyways hope 2018 is treating you well and the world isn't too messed up
"Well people are eating tide pods now so I think it might be time to move to Mars "
Preach 👏👏👏
Maria Malia tbh I think tide pods are like um how do I explain it... they look interesting. But eating it is messed up. I do like it ironically though. I would never eat it cause if I die I’m the one to blame and store locking the pods up and then tide pods having to take action is stupid. Didn’t the government(or not) or something say something about it?
The tide pods thing is really weird. I’m kinda glad someone’s pointed out how weird it is.
Oh yeah it’s also deadly
I walked in a dollar general yesterday and all the tide pods were locked up. You had to get a employee to unlock it for you....
Hazelmykitten really ??? Omg where is the world going 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh I thought you didn’t have lion anymore because he wasn’t in videos and I was so sad BUT HE HAS SURVIVED
MoodyBlue he was in pinof
In the background
I was super surprised 😭❤
I was freaking out
If Phil goes bald he will complete his transformation into Voldemort
This makes me so happy. I'm not crying.

"Did ww3 happen yet?"
*"Uhhhh.... Almost"*
I choked
If only you knew
i'm gonna miss your emo hair if you do change your hair in 2019
it was iconic
“We’re all dying”
Ah great, existential crisis within the first 10 seconds, just what I wanted
"I'm going to go to the gym, or I'm going to get a face transplant!"
*Cause that's the most normal stuff ever Phil*
Eve Cinnamond I READ THAT AS HE SAID IT
yknow? I think this is officially my favorite Amazingphil video (which is saying a LOT) because something about it is just sort of comforting. sometimes I wish I could know my future right away and know exactly what happens without living it, but.. I don't have to. this vid was a sweet reminder that in the end, everything works out in it's own course. Phil had NO idea what was going to happen to him back when he wrote this letter in 2008, and look where he is now. very inspiring. Thank you so much, Phil!!
Im beyond shook that 2008 was *TEN* years ago
"I can't actually feel a pulse"
Phil is a vampire confirmed
Dan already confirmed that in The Urge
The Fabulous One I legit thought your profile picture was a hair on my screen and spent twenty seconds trying to remove it
The Fabulous One the urge by Daniel Howell
Gerard Way is quaking
the urge
HIS AMMOUNT OF CUTENESS IN THIS VIDEO HURTS ME
lemonmemehime Same!! He's so adorable
same
happy 31st birthday Phillip! Oh you've grown up so much **sniffles** I remember watching you as a wee fetus...ohh the days, okay on with the soppy stuff, you're such a great Person and I am very thankful for your existence, your videos always make me light up inside and smile every time, even if I'm not feeling very happy at all. Hope you have a great birthday with all your friends and family! (And that dani snot on fire guy)
"The emoji movie wouldn't be a thing so maybe that was good" LMAO
HE'S TRENDING I'M SO PROUD OF HIM
aw look at the Dan and Phil plushies sitting together in the backround
i was thinking the same hahah
Apparently I sent myself a letter as soon as I watched this... I was just complaining that I've lost my passion for life so it's neat to hear from someone who still had it.
Phil please write yourself another future letter! This video was one of my most heartwarming experiences I've ever had
The amount of shade in this video will keep me shook until phil turns 70
Vrisha S so until tomorrow?
someone random u right u right
*"sorry if u went bald lol"*
I wrote a letter after watching this video and sent it 5 years in the future - it just arrived this week! Thank you for making this video, I had a blast reading the letter and seeing what 18 y/o me thought 2023 me would be up to lmao
I will not believe that Phil Lester is turning 31 in five days, like no he is not
Amy walsh13 I can't believe it either
Go outside and play hopscotch Phil!
"No spoilers!! Have to share with the internet first"
“When I was writing this I didn’t even know who that Dani Snot on Fire guy was”
Dan: *magically appears* your mum
Phil wanted to live in Manchester before cause it was a big city and now he's traveling the world on tour
I'm so hyped for inactive ingredients
this is gold
SO FRIKIN HYPED
Yes, please do a video about making a letter for 2028 Phil!
CrownClown Creations Dat don't exist weirdo
Sorry what? That's what Phil asked if he should do in the video - it's right there.
I did it after watching this. I went to the site and wrote a letter to myself 10 years from now aka 2028. What are you talking about "don't exist" haha
If Phil made a video of that, I would have a reason to live (and to survive the nuclear war) for 10 more years.
I hope so too! He might not stick around for 10 more years though ):
yeah hell be 40
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL!!♡♡♡ xoxoxo
*_I didn't even know who that dani snot on fire was_*
Ellie Bg
Where does it say that?
BerningDaPlaceToTheGround FIRE I don't remember I think it's towards the end he says it
‘Do you have 50,000 subs?’
Phil- “uhhhm I have a little bit more....”
Me- *looks at subs* 4 million!! A LITTLE BIT MORE!!?
it’s too adorable i’m so angry.
pHiL hEy PHIL
PHIL
HI
YES
happY BIRTHDAY!!! ~from all the phans, we love you and best wishes
“Didn’t even know who that dani snot on fire dude was” 💔😭 do you see my heart breaking?????❤️❤️
Past Phil: I hope the world isn't messed up
Phil now: I mean people are eating tide pods
Me: *dying* 😂😂😂
and that's why you don't eat tide pods
you are the first person that ive seen outside of america that actually likes american accents, most people i see just make fun of them (or basically just southern accents, because for some reason everyone seems to think texas encompasses all of america besides california and new york).
Andie Valdez same every TH-camr I’ve watched either makes Americans sound like snobs or idiots
nah I like American accents, especially soft ones
Andie Valdez nobody thinks that! it's just the same as americans thinking that london is all of england!
accents? Imagine how Canadians feel... So many bad stereotypes that aren't real...
I'm Spanish and I love American accents tbh they're generally so much easier to understand than British ones
Update: I had the most amazing time at Interactive Introverts and you got rid of your emo hair! :)
