There's something so cosy and whimsical about this video. Also, I'm not sure if it was intentional, but your way with words is very much like listening to a well-written novel being read out loud. I love everything about his video! I feel so relaxed after watching, and realise that I really do need to slow down more often and appreciate the little things. Thank you for making this 🙂

I love that you still go in the tree house. I feel like treehouses are often abandoned after children grow up as if they can no longer be fun anymore. And they often fall into disrepair. Its like the pleasure and and memories of playing there are left behind in childhood. It made me smile to see you still using it.

Also Ruby you are stronger than me because I would've brought that birdfeeder letterbox thing. I wouldn't have thought about it twice because if I hadn't had brought it it would haunt me in my dreams and I couldn't be able to get it out of my head.

This video is a piece of poetry to me. Meal in the bushes, climbing in a long windy skirt, just every detail. Yes, it is not connected like lines of poetry don't have to be connected. They just leave a trace, a feeling while you can't even define the means used to make you feel this way

Rubyinski, you are too good for any of us! We are not worthy. You made me laugh in this one. Glad you're keeping on with your novel, that's important. I reread my novel (on amazon) a year ago and found about 14 typos. Fixed, uploaded. I'm rereading again a year later (now) and have found 10 more! Dammit. Makes me glad nobody has read it! It will be very very clean when I upload the new edits in May. It never ends. ;-)

With the comments I’m reading, saying they are worried about the way you act, really proves that you did a wonderful job portraying that strangeness and nonsense kind of absurd style (and also that they didn’t watch the last part of the video lmao) and honestly i love it !! I also like to read nonsense things and would absolutely love if you do more of these vids in the future :-) have a nice day ! 🩷

I'm a bit surprised to hear you call your current novel in progress as your debut novel! I know people are often not super proud of the creative works they put out when they were much younger and it might be the case for you and your self-published novella, but I got the sense that you were still regarding the book fondly. I think it was during your gap year that you mentioned that book again in one of your videos, about how the whole writing process was done within a week or so with a stroke of inspiration and such, and you spoke with such affection. I wonder if your agent or someone you are in contact with regarding getting your book traditionally published advised you not to draw too much attention to your self-published book?

I liked seeing you try out something new with your vlog, and it is a unique style that not many people would think of. I know you mentioned that you weren't feeling very motivated to vlog, and playing around with lighthearted absurdity seems like a great way to get out of a creative slump. You always seem very happy when you're at home - I'm glad you have this beautiful, cozy haven to return to.
