It's My Birthday And I'll Cry While I Build If I Want To 🎂

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Not sure if birthday's are triggering for anyone else but here's how I worked through mine. It isn't the age, it isn't the passing of time ...I'm just a birthday brat and that's fine as long as we turn it around xx.

[@eloranelson]

Birthdays can be difficult for many reasons - I too don't have issue with aging or the numbers of it all - but somehow around that time I get into a funk that thankfully seems to be improving with age. (I'm beginning to enter into my IDGAF era - maybe something about 35 💅) Your authenticity, light, and heart focused living are ever an inspiration for someone like me. Thanks for being! Best birthday wishes from Northern Ontario ❤

[@SylviaMarinaMartinez]

Omg we are birthday twins! Today is my birthday too. Unless your birthday was last week 😅 Gemini season! Happy birthday 🎉🎁🎂🎊

[@hayleedavine9822]

Birthdays are difficult and triggering for me too. I have never not bawled my eyes out on my birthday.

[@nymphsandshepherds]

Ohhhhhhhh.. they are lol! Im a 39 year old gay guy…. And I think I cry from being happy a lot… so it gets better!!!

[@robertjames-life4768]

Just had my 59th birthday. I would trade you years any day. Happy birthday

[@herhourglass]

Your channel is the one channel that I have been watching consistently throughout the years. Like if I scroll down your uploads it’s just red lines across each video for years. And I just love how you have become more and more authentic each time. I always look forward to when you upload & seeing what new additions you add to your little oasis.

U are KZbinr who is never boring for me. U are so motivating, open hearted, emotional, sooo lovely, U can't just imagine 🤍🤍🤍‼️‼️‼️ Happy birthday and wish U the best, because U deserve sky full of rainbows around U all the time ‼️

Hi Mija Rachel 💕 I Love you and keep getting better, better and do what you need to do to get better.We will be here still for you.Happy Brithday 💐🎂🎁🥳🎉Mija and I Pray for more Brithday's to come.God bless you always and your animals.Love Grandma Raquel.❤

[@AdriWiid]

This made me think of a recent video on the "how to ADHD" channel, called "Taming the demon of ADHD". I really resonate with your thinking patterns. Understanding how our minds work eases the guilt, shaming or spiralling. It enables us to find healthy coping mechanisms. I am so happy to see you do things you enjoy rather than things that you think you should do ♡⚘

[@RachelTsTime]

I found this helpful ❤

[@kaitlinmeadows6273]

Your joy when a project you dream becomes reality is so deeply touching. You are one brave, bad-ass, beautiful, sensitive, creative creature and I love being in your posse of followers! Rock On!

Happy Birthday and I wish you a lovely fun weekend!🍸🌅🎁

[@sFrost-ze8uq]

I use chargeable yes. Rechargeable sconces in my home. I have a blind cat. That can only see light and dark, and it helps her find her food. Also great in a power out.

[@judyflynn1604]

OMG Girl!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE what you’ve done with your Gracie room! It’s pure perfection. The mirrors, arches and the hanging lamps make the room! Nicely done so enjoy!

[@warmbreeze43]

We all have bad days, but not a bad life. Just can’t let that bad day go into many bad days. You are a smart young lady. Talented and smart. Give yourself grace. You are doing well ❤ Happy Birthday. I’m never triggered by my birthday. I love them. I’m not ready for the alternative 😂

[@scooterpie2700]

I just started watching this video and I don’t even know if it applies. But I just wanted to say thank you for all the videos recently about having to take apart a previous project and start over. Acknowledging the work and effort and emotions and money that went into to a project that you are about to take apart is so important but difficult to do. A lot of times I don’t end up starting a project because I’m worried I’ll change my mind halfway through. Or a year from now. But then I just sit with something that I don’t like because I’m too afraid to waste time or money or energy on something. Which isn’t great. Because half the fun is learning and trying something fun. I don’t know if this is making sense. But thank you for reminding me that I can start something and change my mind and that it’ll be okay. We change as humans so why can’t our surrounding change with us.

Rach!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLY❣️❣️ No birthday blues, be happy & greatful for all you've accomplished! You're amazing! I didn't realize Gracie wasn't there, for some reason, I was thinking she was.. lol, seeing Leo play in the mud & loving it made me giggle. I was like, " he's going to need a bath before he goes back in the house!" 😄. No AC?! You definitely need that!! I live on the coast of NC, & have to have it, its humid!! We love you girl! Happy Birthday ❣️🤗😘💐🎂🍷

Never wanted the video to end and always love them. I wish I could hug ya and help you with your projects. I am in AZ and get that heat. We live on a small farm with a couple acres. The heat can really break your whole day. Getting up to the 117 🥵 it’s miserable. Thanks for sharing your day and journey 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 🪷🌺🌻🌻🌻🌻🌺🪷 Happy birthday pretty lady!!! 🥳

[@mariannerady1137]

Sending you a huge hug! Love that you prioritize self care and going slower 💙

[@lechatbotte.]

Happy happy birthday 🎉🎈🎁🎊🎂 to you! I will be happy to celebrate with you. All that you are should be celebrated. Creating is fun, projects are fun but clean up is not. Dogs are good for our insides. Bully love is the best. When my son’s bullies died he was devastated. Do what you can at this moment. If it’s meant to be you’ll get there maybe just not now. I’m impatient I want everything yesterday waiting kills me. Take care of Rachel you will make it happen. I bought some blue land too.

[@shirleycarter2451]

Happy birthday 🎉❤, 🎂 🥳 bet your girly friends will be over to celebrate with you soon, and you'll have so much fun. Get as much done as you can before Gracie comes, as your time will be taken up so much more, and its so easy to lose time when animals are around for all those extra hugs/brushing/cleaming up after then, its the best time ❤❤❤

[@shaunbrady5703]

[@kimclenard]

Birthdays are definitely a time of reflection for me. Some years that brings much gratitude others may have waves of sadness mixed in. The human journey is not an easy one. 🙏 Rachel- Truly you are such a talented woman. My wish for you in this upcoming year is that you have more moments of peace and less of sorrow. I am so glad you are taking care of your health and well-being. Always remember you are forever loved and adored. Blessings and Happy Birthday, lovely lady. 🎉 Also… love the new arches! 🥰

[@albame9820]

[@xtjoy]

1) I audibly “awe’d” seeing my towel up 🥹 2) how do we have the cutest pig ever??? 3) Gracie is going to love her new home 4) I love you.

[@kimpaynter]

My birthday is killing me this yeah I can’t explain it. They’ve never bothered me ever but I’ll tell you this one turning six zero is just fucking me up. Everybody wants to plan my day and I just can’t even go there because it sounds super old and I’m not there yet. I can’t grasp but Rachel happy happy birthday you make your wish. Buy damn flowers.❤❤❤❤

Oh my gosh HBD to my spirit animal! I lost a beloved dog and I knew instinctively I had to have another dog, I could never replace my dog I had lost but had a similar situation where my dream dog went to another home. And i ended up with the absolute best dog whom just filled my soul with joy. This is all happening for a reason,

Dearest Rachel, happy birthday! May you and everyone around you be healthy and happy, people and pets alike! I also lost my dog a year ago and it took me a long time to decide to get a new one. Things didn't go well at first either. When I went to the shelter the third time, I thought about getting another dog, but a little pinscher looked out for me. We've been together for almost a month now and it couldn't be better! What do I mean? Everything has its time. Sending lots of love!

Unless you’ve had an English bulldog you don’t understand the way they touch your heart and affect your soul. I would love to find another bully, but know she’ll come when the time is right. On another note happy birthday…may all of your wishes, hopes, and dreams come true! And the mirrors are amazing! Love how that room is transforming!

[@1110karin]

Happy belated birthday, not a BB but just get a little sad of the passing of time and the things I haven't done yet, broken promises to myself. Most of it is because I am a mom to three 16-year-old kitties and a new one just adopted from my colony of 38 that had to have her tail amputated. It's made traveling hard because being single and no responsible friends it gets expensive and also finding help with my colony that's about a half an hour away. I did go on three trips the past three years and pop off for a long weekend every month or two. Plus big vet bills for the old kitties this past year, vets are crazy expensive. I get the heat thing, living in South Florida. Last night I was on a ladder fixing my lamp post, then spray painting it and my mailbox. My neighbors all think I am crazy, lol,

I think breeds like English bulldogs are best to get from a rescue because the breed is sadly struggling with so many health issues and so it's not great to get them from a breeder. But they're such cute sweethearts.
