When I've lost all my hope, I just watch and rewatch ruby's videos and it helps me relax and align my thinking process. I wanna have ruby's mindset, she seems to see the good side of things, enjoy the simple things and attract genuine positivity and happiness. Such a good person to look up when you're suffering from mental illness due to bullying. You are awesome Ruby! You're younger than me but I look up to you, I'm so happy for you and I wish you all the best ✨💖

[@dalidaregina]

Try to search help from your family and friends, really. You can't suffer because of others.

[@kusharaliyanaarachchi9610]

[@sashal1493]

You are, quite possibly, one of the most inspirational people on this platform. Personally, you make me want to go outside, eat healthy, and snuggle under a fluffy blanket with a good book. After spending the past 7 years living in Brazil, I will soon be returning to England and starting school (year 9) during the last few weeks of the school year (June/July), and you are so incredibly motivational to watch regarding your outlook on education and life! As a fellow lover of learning and literature, I’m hoping to do as well as you during my studies. Thank you so much Ruby, we need more people such as yourself on here❤️

[@fvs3189]

I would love to see more vlogs when you are with friends or when you are not studying.The studying ones are super motivating but I would love to know Ruby more as a person rather than a student.

[@Kathy09562]

I can see ruby getting more open in her videos in her old videos she was not that talkative. She is like me even I used to not talk much but now I am the most known person in my school

[@some1faraway26]

I just realised the notebook she's writing her notes on is not lined, she can write in a straight line with no problem?! Omg I still cant do that and I'm 24 lol

[@RubyGranger8]

It is lined! It must just be the lighting (I am awful at writing in straight lines!)

[@virginiabozier788]

As a Psychotherapist and a lover of literature I would recommend you read ‘Man’s Search For Meaning’by Viktor Frankl.

[@philstraintravels9281]

Thank you for the inspiration in these videos. I've recently received my confirmation to start an OU access course in February and I'm currently a mixture of nervous and excited after being out of the world of further education since 1993. For years I've planned a vlog (but in a completely different style) for older (40 plus) students to show returning to FE is possible and share the experience.

[@noahoowada]

Just wanted to say that I find your videos incredibly inspiring. I've been an Erasmus student in 2018, I studied in Chichester, and I loved it to bits. (My courses were on Creative Writing and Literary Analysis.) I had a course on psychoanalysis and culture, it was extremely interesting and I used one of its theories for an essay on The Light Princess. Also, we did a presentation on Winnicott's theories, and I believe you would like his point of view as well. His insight on playfulness is remarkable. Keep going and have a wonderful week, dear! You're doing an awesome job :) - All the best wishes from Germany xx

F Prv truth is her skin is most likely 90% a result of what she eats as a vegan

[@glm08]

No. The condition of skin is more like 90% genetic.

@@maneskinnnnn7190 I haven't eaten meat in 16 years and have been vegan for 5. I have also developed adult acne a few years ago despite being very health conscious. That aside, while dairy can affect a lot of peoples skin, one doesn't automatically have good skin because they are vegan or bad because they eat meat. Genetics is the most major factor.

If you like Freud you should definitely read Jung! I finished 'The Undiscovered Self' yesterday and it's honestly incredible, and also very short so a lovely introduction into his work. He's less provocative than Freud in my opinion and delves into religious and spiritual elements too which I think you'll like! :) x

have you tried tiger balm/china balm (basically any balm that promises to relieve muscle and joint aches and has camphor, menthol, and capsicum in it) you put it on the area that’s giving you trouble, massage it well, and preferably go to sleep with maybe a hot water bottle against the area (works much better if you don’t use your leg after putting it on, so i usually do it before bed) for someone with tons of health issues who did sports all throughout highschool, it sure was a wonder! i hope it works for you as well, cheers!

I'd love to know how you manage all your journals and to do lists. I always have lists everywhere, in bullet journal, my phone Notes app, and lately on the Master/Student Productivity Lists from Pumpkin Productivity. Whenever I use one, I always end up forgetting about the other! Or I've got the same task in 2 or 3 different places, or I've got one task in one place but focus on another so I end up forgetting about that task. Anyway it'd be great to see how you manage it!
