Thanks to you, I went back to college in my 30s and finished my bachelors degree. I kept watching your videos and felt inspired to finish a masters degree and then another one. I am now a PhD candidate, half way through the program. I hope you know you have changed lives with your channel. I am eternally grateful for the guidance. I am the first in my family to finish university.

@@horrorzone476 Started in my mid 30s, completed my bachelors through testing, something called CLEP in the US (plus several courses). That took me 2 years. Then I did two masters degrees, an MFA (2 years) and an MA (1 year). I started a PhD this year and will finish in three to four years. Believe me, time will go by and you will be 30 with or without your degree. If I had believed it was too late, I would be 42 (my current age) without the degrees (which gave me a job I love). I simply love the fact that I rejected that idea and pursued my studies anyway. I am thankful to that 35 year old who valued herself enough to ignore the naysayers and the stigmas and simply went for it. You can do it, too. You are even younger. Believe me when I say that life is long and it is never too late!

She looks like she, truly, loves her life. Not an act for video, more like someone who appreciates every minute of every day and unfortunately, that is rare to see these days. Makes me love her videos in some special way.

It’s actually a line from a well-known poem by Robert Burns. I love that Ruby is so well-read, the whole novel is sure to be rich with literary allusion like this and I can’t wait to read it! 🥰

I'm currently unemployed and 42 due to some health issues. I just want to tell you that I've just been devouring novels and researching what ever I want. You've inspired me to feel like I can take the time for myself right now and enjoy what makes me feel fulfilled in this time in my life. Thank you for your videos. I feel like "being productive" has a different meaning to everyone. And I've found my definition of that by watching your videos just being present in the moment, learning, and doing what fulfills you. So glad you are here for me to watch. I absolutely enjoy your videos.

Same here, I lost my job two months ago because due to my health, I just couldn't cope with the physical demands of what I was doing. It's very difficult, but I'm trying to use this as a catalyst to finally follow my own heart and dreams, I'm reading more, researching, writing, and taking a class to learn a skill I've been interested in for several years. Much of this is thanks to the inspiration from Ruby's videos. I hope everyone in a similar situation, that your health can improve and that things get much better.

i caught that too! it made me smile

the burst of motivation that ruby gives me to be productive, enjoy reading, and to get through my final year before college is absolutely unmatched.

Kudos to Ruby for going all around that mud pound to get her camera back, great cinematographic effort 👏👏

The phonetics of that short paragraph of your book are incredible. As a person who’s first language isn’t english I always enjoy writing that sounds good and rolls down your tongue like warm tea. It’s just wonderful. Can’t wait to read that book you’re writing.

Can I just say that the family home is so wonderfully cozy? The yard in the rain is gorgeous. Also, hycaniths are so fragrant and wonderful. I also love your Jellycat plushies.

As you said yourself, it's hard to get a feeling from just a few sentences. Still, I sensed a heavy influence of your all time favourite English authors in the way your write, the language you use, how you express yourself. There's that sort of antique feeling to the words that never fails to spike curiosity.

I love a rainy weekend! Especially a chilly one, when I can curl up with a cup of tea and read. Or, settle in and work on a research project.

There’s a sense of sadness to your videos as of late, it might be all the rain, but the colours and the cold atmosphere too, you seem sad. It’s spring now and the days are full of light and colour in the UK, seeing the sun still up when I leave work gives me so much life. Sometimes your videos feel like a perpetual January.

As a fellow rain enthusiast, I was so excited to see the notification for this video. It's been raining here, with a lovely temperature drop of nearly 10 degrees F, and I had just come in from enjoying it in my rocking chair on the back porch. The video did not disappoint. Thanks Ruby!

I completely agree- rain is so underrated!! It’s cozy when you’re inside, but also refreshing and I feel like it helps to reset and calm my mind when I walk out in it. I hope you’re having a great week Ruby!! 🥰

I agree that everyone's different. But for me as someone who's been struggling with depression for years, I love rain, it calms me listening to the sound while indoors, and when I'm outside it can sometimes even help me feel more alive. Just like the sun does. (obviously not always but sometimes) Too much cloudy, dark days is depressing tho. But rain by itself isn't to me. It can be kind of annoying how most people always complain about it tbh like rain always equals bad weather to people. I honestly don't agree, even when I have to go outside.

Ruby-I love your passion for life and the joy you find in the small things. Your content always uplifts & inspires!

Your life is such a charming mixture of modern and old-fashioned. Happy Easter, and love from across the Pond.

Thank you Ruby! This video speaks to my inclination towards overcast, rainy, chilly days. so few and far between here in Texas. We were blessed to travel in England in summer 2022 and i Loved our first few drizzly cloudy days in Bath. After our brutal dry summer my heart was yearning for the rainy mood.

This is just the video I need as it is pouring it down with rain . Such a comforting video x

Ruby can I just tell you how proud I am of you!! I've been watching your videos since forever and I absolutely love this space! Your videos are so calming , cosy and comforting. I saw your latest post about you getting into Oxford and I honestly cried out of happiness for you!! You deserve the best girl!! Lots of love !!

Everything about this video is so beautiful and calming, especially your walk in the rain. I absolutely love rain and particularly thunderstorms and although it's cosy being inside, I prefer to be out in the rain and feel it on my skin. As a child I would throw on a jacket and run outside as soon as it started raining, which is something I haven't done much lately. But you've inspired me to get back to taking rainy adventures. It just makes me so happy 🌧️🤍

I love this video so much. I have watched it twice today and it’s very rainy where I am. For some reason, watching it just makes me think it’s such a beautiful day. Thank you for sharing pieces of your life ❤️

Ruby I love seeing you grow through this channel and the changes you make throughout it love you ❤

Ahh such wholesome feel good content as always ❤ The best thing about Ruby's content is she really reinforces that even the simplest and unjustly overlooked things is life can be appreciated and romanticised! Also has anyone else noticed how polite she is to google when she speaks to it! Think it's such an understated but important thing for it means that our way of treating others doesn't slack. ❤❤❤

I love how you see the world. Never change that, it makes us all happier❤

"Brideshead revisited" is one of the best books in the world! I can also recommend the tv-series from )1981. I've seen the tv-series and read the book so many times and it never gets tiring! Much love to you from a chilly Sweden! 😍

I so agree i love rain too. Being outside or inside. 🥰 Hope you have a beautiful easter! I loved listening to you read some of your book! It sounds incredible😘

I LOVE walking or running in the rain!

The rainy day walk gives the Jane Austen vibes☔️💧🌧️

Oh my goodness I absolutely love your vlogs. ❤ I watch your videos on repeat because they’re so relaxing to me. I’m so happy one popped up today! Stay well Ruby! 😊

I love the format of this video. I know I will watch it again and again.

such a lovely vlog! i found myself nodding along and wanting to comment on so much. just the rain + the whole weekend was truly perfect. makes me wish it were sunday morning already!

I love, that you use also random things to keep your book open!

This has been a lovely ending to the busy half of my week. Slowly winding down for the long Easter weekend

I just wanted to comment that your videos always make my day 100x better. They are so aesthetic and when I'm watching them they encourage me to become more productive. Many people would find rainy days dull, but you always make everything exciting. Thank you so much! I would love if you could do more live content so we could interact with you more! That would be amazing. ❤

12:00 love the contrast between warm and cool tones.

Ruby is amazing!! 🥰🥳🤩 she has gotten me into a good night routine and my learning is so much easier with watching Ruby! 😊🎉❤

I loved this, it was relaxingg and made me want to be appreciative of the things around me. I love nature so it was nice seeing you enjoy the rain

I remember how much Ruby helped me with my academics last year by motivating me. Got 96% general average.

The rain sounds are top tier❤

your videos always make me so happy! thanks!

It’s great you send hand written letters to friends. I used to have pen pals and loved receiving a letter but these days people communicate through emails, not quite the same. Good for you x

Ruby, I can't express how much your videos give me hope, inspiration and motivation. Our taste in general are very similar and I was very tired and unmotivated earlier then watched this video. I immediately decided that I will start a nature journal. Thank you 💗💗 And since you bought Katherine Mansfield's Garden Party, I wanted to include one of my fav quotes from her letters 📜 I don’t know if you’ve read any of her letters, they’re really beautiful 🌼 “Flowers teach hope and patience. Flowers teach tenderness. Flowers teach futility and amazement. You know me, I am always willing to learn. Besides, it is spring. The beautiful forces of nature refuse to remain silent and I feel like observing everything.” - Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to J. M. Murry written c. April 1922

Dear Ruby, I just stumbled upon your channel, and I'm now determined to live a life like yours. For months now, I've been trying to figure out WHO I want to be. This is what I want for myself. I have found it. You make me want to move to Europe, own a cozy house in the countryside, cook, write my novel, and study Latin (which I'm doing as I watch this, haha)! These videos don't look like they're an act. They show (at least to me) that you love your life and yourself. THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful way of life with us, Ruby! And THANK YOU for helping me find who I want to be in this world! You radiate the mindset of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. Much love, - a fellow rain enthusiast

Like I was in another world, so excited! thank you!

Ruby, that little bit that you read from your book was wonderful - made me very much want to read it when it comes out. Thank you for going outside of your comfort zone to share that with us :)

It rained all week on my holiday in Amsterdam and it was so peaceful!

oh my stars Ruby I to love walking in the rain I love the smell & how it feels on my face When I cannot sleep at night I listen to the sounds of rain & when I read a good mystery book I listen to the sounds of rain & thunder ! Sometimes in the middle of summer when I read a summer book I listen to the sounds of the ocean waves with the seagulls! Have a lovely Easter Ruby !

Wow, Ruby, you are just so inspiring person! I never wanted more to live in a British cottage, read books and walk in the rain! Thank you for doing this wonderful little movies!

The snippet of your novel was absolutely breathtaking. It is also my deepest wish to publish books someday. ❤ Thanks for being an inspiration.

Your passage! I cannot wait to read this one day in full.

i used to watch you in 2020 and then I didn't for quite a while and last year I found you again and I really enjoy your vlogs ♥️

You inspired me to start a nature/walking journal - thank you!

I don't know if this makes sense, but I'm rewatching all of Ruby's videos and when I compare her videos from 2 years ago, to now, I recognise how much she's grown and how I can notice that she truley loves her life. I guess, that Ruby is kind off my role model, because... come on

Just wanted to say, I love how you say 'please' to your Google - it shows how kind you are xxx

Your videos are beautiful and inspiring. You put a lot of thought into them. Thank you 🙏🏽

I really like the way ruby decorates her notebooks and stuff, it makes me wanna do the same thing!

Here in northern Italy we have siccity and I don't even remember how it feels when theres like real rain 🌧️ (or snow)... We had a few thunderstorms last summer but overall it's been so dry the past 2 years, the lake I live by dropped by 2 meters and we are having fires 🔥🚒 thank you for bringing the feeling of the rain beck to me 🤍

Life, just pure life..❤

Si, hay mucha lluvia estos días..

Your Vlog heals my passion!

Ruby what a beautiful vlog. I absolutely loved it! I adore rain too. Your writing sounds so poetic and beautiful! I am very excited for you and look forward to one day buying your book. I love the idea of writing about plants and flowers and nature. Lovely vlog and I wish you all the best in April. I look forward to seeing your garden and your adventures. :) 🌸 🌷

I thank you so much.

I’m so looking forward to buying your novel, Ruby. I’m so excited x 😊

My great-great aunt used to say that if bubbles form at the surface of puddles, the rain's going to last a while. The rain in this vlog reminded me of that saying :)

I love the enchanted April. It’s a favorite.

I just wait for your vlogs.. ❤️ they are calming and motivates me alot !

To enjoy this walk with you. Thank you much.

Ruby, I believe your book will be amazing!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Hey Ruby! I was wondering if you could make a video where you talk about how you're able to balance work, KZread, writing and spending time on walks/reading/doing stuff you love? I'm currently struggling with fitting everything in my schedule without burning myself out on Tuesday and not doing anything the rest of the week... I've tried to set a schedule for myself but I find it very draining to consistently worry if I'm on track or not, and I usually go over time slots which doesn't help either.. I would be so grateful for your advice! Hope you're doing well 💛
