MONTREAL — There are very few habits that I’ve kept since I was a 12-year-old, aside from a proclivity for sleeping in and generally eating (unhealthy) food at some point during the day.

I played the violin at 12, but I stopped playing regularly when I graduated from high school. I used to try reading every night before bed, but there were plenty of midnights that would roll around and my head hit the pillow without having read a word.

So kudos to Hugo Cornellier on YouTube for keeping the habit of taking a selfie every day for eight and a half years and posting the video online for everyone to enjoy.

Cornellier makes the journey from 12 to 18 in the two-minute video using “well over 2,000 photos,” according to the video description. Cornellier said the most painstaking part of the process was stabilizing all the photos and keeping the eyes centered.

Cornellier doesn’t plan to stop taking his daily selfie anytime soon, and said he hopes to keep going, according to the video description. “This is an on-going project,” he wrote. “I will never stop taking pics. Ever.”
