the girl i used to be

if 14 year old gaille ever sees what they've become I'll run for the hills. this one's for you 25 year old me, you better be sane.

lyrics:
i wonder what kind of face I'll make
when i face to face
with the girl i used to be

will i smile
will i laugh
or cry

because in the end
she'll just end up
becoming me

oh I'm so sorry
all the little mes
because this is all you get

don't try and test me!

this is so great and really summarises the feeling of disappointing your younger selves' expectations for the future. great video as always! :)

I had a dream recently where I got to meet my younger self. I asked her if she recognized me and she didn’t. I got to pick her up and we looked in the mirror together. She recognized me then and seemed very excited and happy when she said “you’re me!” I know it was just a dream but I found it incredibly therapeutic. The idea that a little me would be happy with who I’ve become.

I cried thinking about this just earlier tonight :’) it’s hard to think that your younger self is proud or ok with the person you are now but it’s ok because we are who we are and we’ve done our best

“love your younger self, and let them die”

this quote is always oddly reassuring to me, and i think it goes nicely with this beautiful song <3

[andreasstefan]

I like your songs especially because it deeply resounds with me. You put into beautiful melodies the words that I can't express too well. Maraming salamat po ate, sana maipagpatuloy niyo yung paggawa niyo ng mga kanta.

(love this song so much!!)

This one resonates with me a lot because when I was a kid I swore to myself I would never grow up or change, and I really did mean it. And now every time I feel like I do just that, I feel like I'm betraying my younger self. I hope she likes me, I feel like she'd at least think my art is cool, if nothing else.

This hits me hard in the feels, I love your music sm

[skuppended]

I love how raw your songs are; I love the juxtaposition of really upbeat music with otherwise usually heavy vibes, because I feel that's a very human way to go through life, like, poking fun and goofing off about things that actually make us really sad or insecure. And even if they're not really sad, like, they're still such serious emotions, like things we hold sacred, and we kinda goof off about them anyway. Idk, it just feels like the layers come together. It's a good little piece of the human experience. Thanks for sharing your songs and yourself with everyone, I can tell you put a lot of heart into it, and it's always really good!

this is relatable. you give yourself such high expectations when you’re young because you expect everything to be as easy as it was then. then you can’t meet them

[kaiffles]

OUCHHH.! fishy… u always manage to make the most gut wrenching yet amazing songs… and the ANIMATIC???? AGHH your videos will be my cause of death

[artnijii]

I was about to sleep and i cant let watch this tomorrow, glad i didnt. I feel sorry too with my childhood dreams and me. As a child, i dreamt of becoming someone and having things and do everything and as an adult, i just wanted to be a child. Never rlly thought i'll becoming someone like this. Ur music and animation is so heartfelt. Thankyouuu and Goodnight.

[Cacnea]

This hits harder than a baseball bat and it seriously got me thinking about how far I am from being the person that my younger self had wished for..

Your art style is goals btw

[catqueen]

"in the end she'll end up becoming me" hits me in the face every time

[adotham]

Your creations are so relatable and just down right perfect. Please never stop what you're doing

[skeleton_sketcher]

i used to have such different and high expectation for future me when i was younger. now, i have worse grades, definitely not popular, and still the same person i wished to never be. but, some things have changed for the better, and younger me would be proud of that :)

[divinesolis]

everytime I'll get to hear a song from you, I'd repeat it for a lot of times on a single day because it speaks a lot what I'm going through and it feels as if I'm not alone in this, thank you

[-No_-]

I’m think I never had any expectations and just was like, bro just don’t die before ur 25th bday and we gud

[cherrypoprocks]

Today is my birthday and this surprisingly popped in my recommendations, i always wonder if the younger version of myself would be proud of who i am today, and hearing this really made my day. I love your songs and how relatable they are, you're very talented, keep it up 💕💕

[respectthefish]

tbh sometimes I'm exactly what my younger self dreamt of but also exactly what my younger self feared to become
