I watched a very interesting video that my Texan friend recommended to me today.
It was very interesting and I thought he made a great video clip. When I was 12 years old, I never thought I'd like to speak to future myself. I wish I could do that! The 12 year-old himself concerned about his pets. The part was so cute. The 12 year-old himself reminded the 32 year-old himself of what he wanted to be when he was a boy. The part was great!
When I was 12 years old, I wanted to be a professional artist. I was very interested in drawing and good at it. However, I still can't make my dream come true although I haven't given it up. While watching the video clip, I felt like the 12 year-old myself encouraged me.

This Motivated Me Up!
More natural
When I was 12 years old, I never thought I'd like to speak to my future myself.
The 12 year-old him was concerned about his pets.
The 12 year-old him reminded the 32 year-old him of what he wanted to be when he was a boy.
While watching the video clip, I felt like the 12 year-old me, would encouraged the me of today.
Wow, great job!
It is very hard to speak about yourself in the 3rd person point of view, but you did great!
I'm glad the video motivated you.
I think the 12 year-old me would think the me of today is very weird for studying Japanese, and not having a job or girlfriend. He would probably try to persuade me to give up learning Japanese and spend more time playing video games.
So I doubt I would want to talk to my 12 year-old self.
Today, I watched a very interesting video which was recommended by a friend from Texas.
It was very interesting and well-made. I thought he made a great video clip.
No need to include "I think." It's implicit that this sentence states your opinion.

I wish I would have done that!

It's understood that you mean 12 years old.
However, I still haven't made my dream come true, but I haven't given up.

This correction was missed so I'm pointing it out.
I don't wanna talk to the future me. I am pretending that I won't get older lol. I'm old enough!
The "12-year old himself" and "12-year-old me" language construct is something we don't do often in English. It's one of the things I envy from Japanese and I wish I could use in English. :)
"My 12-year-old self" is acceptable, but still sounds odd. "His 12-year-old self" could also work, barely. Instead, we'd likely say something more like, "The 12-year-old version of him".
It's all pretty awkward and English doesn't handle it well at all.
