I was thinking that. I'm never envious of the gifts, but having a community who knows you and cares about you that deeply is so important and rare and beautiful. As much as I love to see it I am definitely envious of that.
I’m old enough to be your dad (if I had a kid at 16, which wouldn’t have been ideal for me). But I do have a 3 year old daughter. What you’re describing as feeling loved is exactly what I think many parents want their children to feel. It’s hard to understand before you’re a parent, but you live for your kid and if they’re watching this video I’m sure your parents are getting the warm and fuzzies inside.
This is so beautiful❤️ I don’t have a good relationship with my parents so I get quite emotional when I see parents that genuinely care about their kids
I currently have a 5 year old daughter. If she reacts as Ruby does to all of the presents she receives on her 21st Birthday, then I would be a happy and contented father.
I love how you are so mature and yet you never let go of the child in you, I just see both in you. You look stunning in that blue shirt Ruby, I am also 21 right now, soon will 22 and it is really complicated to see myself age and yet not feel it. I really loved how many times you mentioned you are so grateful! I can see the happiness in your eyes, wish your new age brings you more joy and peace :)
I think the relationship that u have with your sister is amazing!! you two seem to be soo different and at the same time get along so well, that is incredible!!!! happy birthday ruby
The reason why I adore your what I got for my bday/xmas, is because your family knows you so well, they get you such personalized and special gifts with so much meaning, idk I just find it lovely❣🦋🍃
You mentioned in your Instagram post that you had a difficult relationship with growing up. Would this ever be something you’d consider going into more depth about? Only because I imagine you’re not the only one that feels this way - the increase in responsibilities and the pressures that come with adulthood can be super daunting. I also feel like - as women especially - we’re thrown in at the deep end and expected to have so much figured out in our early 20s. Would love to have your perspective 💕
@@somersks7221 I think this is quite unfair. In many ways she's years ahead: she's done incredibly well academically, has already written an excellent short story, manages a successful RUclips account, engages with important social issues and released an academic planner which sold out immediately. These are very much adult achievements (even though many of these came before she was an 'adult'). Her relationship with 'growing up' is, I imagine, far more complex than being "obsessed with being a child". Growing up is daunting not by its nature but by the social expectations that comes with it (especially for women). I really don't blame her for feeling the way she does, she's certainly not alone.
Yes I'd like to see that and can relate somehow. Holly Gabrielle talked about that feeling in her videos recently, I'd love to see Ruby addressing the subject too, I think many of us feel this way !
@@somersks7221 cause people with pure souls and hearts like her won't ever grow old, I feel the same even though I'm 26! Having a good childhood is a reason too because we always yearn to those nostalgic peaceful days. And as the comment said above, it's about society and it's harder on us women, we are supposed to get married and have kids.. etc as if that's the only way in life. As readers and dreamers we aren't condemned by society's rules. Read "Le Petit Prince" or "The Picture of Dorian Gray" to have a better understanding.
Ruby, that copy of A Little Princess is 116 years old! 😳 As beautiful as it is, and as lovely as it feels you might consider wearing gloves when reading it so it stays so lovely! Your mum and dad did a great job finding you that gift! There are not many of those left today I am sure!
Librarians don’t wear gloves to handle old books (it could cause ripped pages), but I would recommend purchasing foam props when opening the book to ease pressure on the book spine.
Actually, professionals don't use gloves, since its easier to rip out pages with them. They recommend to just wash your hands really well, because of the oils, sweat and dirt.
As much as people like to say: "it is what you make it for yourself" and like to romanticise being alone...not everybody likes being alone. Some people like company. Stop invalidating loneliness. It is a serious issue. @Alchemy all : i understand you
Please don't feel too bad making these! As someone who loves giving thoughtful, intentional and unique gifts to people for their birthday etc. these videos are incredibly helpful ❤️ I have used your previous "what I got for my birthday / Christmas" videos to buy some of the most treasured gifts for my family. These are as much about the thought process your friends and family went through and the resources they used, as they are about you and your celebrations 💗
happy birthday ruby!! hope you know how much we're grateful for your presence, and existence. you’ve changed my life in ways i couldn’t have imagined 💛
My birthday was on the 21st, and I feel exactly the opposite. Feeling known is a wish that every year seems more out of reach. I feel like my parents don't recognize me anymore even though we live together. The day went ok, and the typical fear of disappointment faded over the day, but when I watch these or go to any birthday party, I remember the candleless cake or the lack of attention everyone hates on their birthday. And even though childhood is in the past, I still have to wrap something for myself if I want to unwrap anything on D Day. IF ANY OF YOU who usually fell let down on their special day: - everything is expectations!! Learn it as soon as possible. - If no one cares, you care, so plan and buy yourself something meaningful and wrap it with beautiful paper. - plan only for yourself or with those you know you can count. - Covid hit and you're still here, so be grateful. To Rudy: Happy Birthday! I love your videos, keep going!
Few days ago, I was just scrolling through RUclips videos for books to read in a lifetime and your video popped up. It was about 150 books you read last year. Since then, something changed inside of me and it was the curiosity for books. I don't know when it started or how long this is gonna last, but after watching your videos, I felt like reading books is the best thing people could ever do. I felt like we don't get to live everyone's life, but we get to learn to live our life from those stories. And, what could be more important than being able to live with the memories of those stories? Till now, I've ready 8 books already in last few days and the more I'm reading, the more curious I'm becoming. This is very important to me because I had never read a book before in my entire life. Thank you for inspiring.
You deserve it all, you’re clearly such a sweet and genuine young woman and it makes me so happy to see you smile like that 😊 thank you for sharing your gratitude with us, it brightened up my day ✨
I love the way she looks at the gifts and the people in her life. She greatly valued being able to DO things with people. Which I think a lot of people our age don’t value as much. And even when it is something physical you can tell she is so genuinely thankful. Love you Ruby❤️❤️! And happy 21st 🎂!!
Such wonderful and thoughtful gifts. I have pearls too but didn’t get mine until 10 years ago to wear on my wedding day from an old family friend ( no longer with us) whom we called Aunty Margaret. I love wearing them but not as often as I should. My hubby also got me some Pearl earring ( children’s ones as my ears are small) about five years ago. My sister and I did a message video and photos for my parents 50th anniversary and they loved it xx
your birthday videos remind me every year to be more grateful and appreciating. you are an incredible example of humbleness and gratitude... thank you.
this girl is sooooo lucky to have so many people who think about her and care so much. my family members don't think about me and think I'm a burden yet I try to do so much for them as if I'm their parent. Ruby is so lucky to have normal parents who act like parents rather than like children
Happy birthday. I love A Little Princess. That is such a beautiful book. I also noticed your pearls right away. Enjoy them, and wear them often. (And remember to get them restrung every year or so.) Pearls are among my favourite jewelry too.
All the gifts were so thoughtful and amazing, the moment she saw the Hermione Granger bag from Deathly Hallows, I couldn't control anymore I was soooo happy, I guess I shed a few tears too! You have got a lovely family Ruby....Happy belated Birthday ❤️❤️❤️
I think I like watching these videos because it's so lovely to see how well your family knows you and how much thought they put into your gifts, and your gifts are so different to what a 'typical' 21 year old would receive that I know it'll always be interesting ❤️
Feeling known as you said it is the best thing ever. My mom is someone who when she gifts something to me these gifts are never quite what I would envision (I still appreciate them tho) and I’d actually prefer just getting a little tiny thing that I truly like in order to see that she knows me
Happy belated 21st birthday Ruby. That is the sweetest idea of Martha to create such a special video and all of your gifts are so nice, your family really do know you well. I hope you had a lovely day xx
I was just finishing my schoolworks and project while watching your study w me videos! Thank you so so much for making me productive and motivated! You are one of my favorite youtubers of all time :) Happy belated birthday and i hope you to be safe and happy! Thank you again for uploading a video today as well !!
Happy birthday, Ruby! Like you, I had a birthday made special this year by family, in spite of restrictions and limitations of the current situation. The moments and experiences we have - the intangible gifts - mean a great deal, and more so the older we get. The accumulation of things is not nearly as important as the accumulation of signs that we are loved. Material possessions are merely a catalyst for memories, and nothing compared to the company of those we care about.
Belated Happy Birthday to you and you are such a special girl who received lots of lovely presents and are very gratefull. Love your video's and your opennes.
Belated Birthday wishes . You are one amazing young lady. I am probably one of your oldest followers and came across you when you were doing an Victorian tea party i think , I love the Victorian era and also books . Nothing can’t beat books which you can hold and smell . Just wanted to say you are an inspiration to other young people and students out there . Keep on doing what you enjoy and one will have the privilege to read your own book . All the best for the future x
What lovely thoughtful presents you have and love how you express your gratefulness. I think these days the world is so materialistic. Proves you don’t have to have brand new all the time to be appreciated, like you said with ‘The Little Princess Book’ how many people that have read that over the years and now it’s in your hands, soo lovely x
Beautiful books make such amazing presents! I’ve bought this lovely Folio Society book for my favourite tutor who has been absolutely amazing this year supporting me through finals in a pandemic, and I can’t wait to give it to her! All of these presents are so lovely 💖💖💖
I’m so happy to see that you’ve had a magical birthday! I get loads of books every year for my birthday, and I’m so happy to see that you do the same! Have a happy 21st year ☕️🤍
I really enjoyed this video, I get very inspired to be this thoughtful towards my family and friends. I received the beaded purse for Christmas and I genuinely enjoy using it as well, it's so pretty! ❤
For my 21st, I was living away from home in NYC. My family surprised me by visiting and taking me to tea at the Plaza hotel (of Eloise fame!) then we took a carriage ride around Central Park in the snow. It was the most special birthday! I felt so grateful and so loved. ❤️
Also, a neighbor was recently giving away that same edition of A Little Princess for free! You best believe I scooped that up! Yours is in much better shape than mine though.
A very belated HAPPPPYYY BIRTHDAY!!!! Ruby. I am also to turn twenty one this year. The only difference will be that I can never have these many opulent and so very beautiful gifts from anyone, like I never had.
I always love your "what I got for...". It's been years since I last watched any other RUclipsr's videos regarding this topic. However, yours are always so different and quirky that I love to watch them. Happy belated birthday, BTW!!
You look like a princess like a real princess .. a piece of a fairy tale or a Disney clip ... you look so marvellous ... Ruby is growing up to be a Disney fairy 😍💗✨.. One of my favourite videos of all time ♡
Happy B-Day... Ruby thank you for always being here.. Motivating us turning our bad days into good ones. I wish u great health ND wonderful productive year... We all love you ruby
I love seeing how ecstatic you were about your gifts after your family spent so much time and effort into their gifts ❤️ You can tell that they really love and care for you :3 Happy Birthday, Ruby!!! ❤️✨🎊🎉🎈🎂
That edition of "A Little Princess" is so special! 💛 I have adored that story since childhood, and it makes me so happy to know it's resonated with you in a similar way. You are so humble and sweet. I'm so glad you had a wonderful birthday! 🥰
Happy birthday Ruby!! You looked stunning in that blue top and the tea tasting looked wonderful! I can happily say I can relate with pretending I could read way earlier than I could 😂 Hope you had a wonderful day ❤️
Wow, your copy of A Little Princess is so nice! I just had my birthday too. I got some candles and a hunting knife, but the best part was my mother walking through the woods to play at a stream with me, which she would never normally do.
Ruby! With the earrings - there are earring converters you can get that turn real earrings into clip ons - you just slide them into the contraption and clip them on. In Australia we have a shop called Lovisa that sells them, I also don't have my ears pierced but it's great being able to buy normal earrings and just convert them.
I think I get it why there were past comparison comments like "the girl got xxx for birthday, I only get xxx". It might have nothing to do with financial background and stuff. The way you sharing with us, of how you are so loved by your family, is precious. It's such a straightforward and honest attitude toward receiving people' love. Don't lose it, it is good to be grow and educate like this.
Those books are just beautiful you are so blessed to have such a loving family. Sadly for me my birthday is often forgotten so I make sure to treat myself.
happy birthday, ruby !!!!!!!!! Watching this again on my birthday and you honestly made my day. you made me really overwhelmed to look at my presents too. I really really love your videos ruby. Thank you so much for making them.
Belated happy birthday Ruby! My birthday was on May 18th 😊. I hope you keep receiving this much of love and support and may us all remain friends forever. 💜
Happy birthday Ruby... U are my favourite RUclipsr... U deserve everything u got.. Or even more... U have lovely parents.. U are unique.. U are kind... U have a Amazing family.. U are such a hard Worker... I literally start my day watching u.. Wish u a great future... ❤️🎊🎉💐 U are not like Hermione.. U are greater than that.. Love u.. Sending virtual hugs.. ❤️
Happy belated birthday, Ruby! Pardon me for missing it. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I would have loved to have received your magnificent, thoughtful gifts. It touches me to see how your family cherishes you and you have such a beautiful home. Many times I am thrilled to see the way you and your family enjoy one another so much.
I am also fascinated by the Victorian child and teen! I talked about it on my Victorian module for Uni this semester and is such a good theme and thing to research! Such wonderful presents, Ruby🌺
Happy Birthday Ruby. ...Lots of love to you ...love your work always keep going just like that . May happiness shower upon you and all your wishes come true .Stay safe stay healthy and just remember that you will always get love from my side just like a sister . Happy Birthday again . ENJOY YOUR DAY ❤
"Feeling known" is such a wonderful gift to get for your birthday, it was lovely that you mentioned that up front.

@@JustMe-rn5xm sorry to hear that. Not all parents are fortunate enough to realize their kids enter this world perfect. That’s not the child’s fault.

@@jamesmnaylor I'm crying. Your daughter is so lucky.
you said " I love how people who have read this book have loved this book as i love it" i touched my heart.
I love that Ruby is letting us in, and see her so openned up. She is like a close friend. 😊
When is her bday?
I also felt that she is a close friend of mine while watching this video, I think the sincerity was at its highest this time :)
same !!!
I love how you are so mature and yet you never let go of the child in you, I just see both in you.

we’re still all the same being we were as children! there’s never a point where we can fully let go:)
I think the relationship that u have with your sister is amazing!! you two seem to be soo different and at the same time get along so well, that is incredible!!!! happy birthday ruby

Happy late Birthday! I love Frances Hodgson Burnette and The Secret Garden is one of my favorite books that I have reread many times.
I really enjoyed this video, I get very inspired to be this thoughtful towards my family and friends. I received the beaded purse for Christmas and I genuinely enjoy using it as well, it's so pretty! ❤

Happy Birthday Ruby! Those are some amazing gifts :) And we're all definitely grateful to keep watching your inspiring videos!
Happy Birthday Ruby!!! You are truly a precious human being.
actually, my birthday in may too and I am now 21 as you now and I have been subscribing to you for years thanks for all the inspiration for years.
Happy birthday Ruby!! You looked stunning in that blue top and the tea tasting looked wonderful! I can happily say I can relate with pretending I could read way earlier than I could 😂 Hope you had a wonderful day ❤️
Wow, your copy of A Little Princess is so nice! I just had my birthday too. I got some candles and a hunting knife, but the best part was my mother walking through the woods to play at a stream with me, which she would never normally do.
These videos never get old. Happy Birthday belated by the way
Ruby! With the earrings - there are earring converters you can get that turn real earrings into clip ons - you just slide them into the contraption and clip them on. In Australia we have a shop called Lovisa that sells them, I also don't have my ears pierced but it's great being able to buy normal earrings and just convert them.
I think I get it why there were past comparison comments like "the girl got xxx for birthday, I only get xxx". It might have nothing to do with financial background and stuff. The way you sharing with us, of how you are so loved by your family, is precious. It's such a straightforward and honest attitude toward receiving people' love. Don't lose it, it is good to be grow and educate like this.
This is a truly lovely thing to read x
My family loves me dearly but can't afford too many gifts, yet it doesn't mean they love me any less
I got myself complete collection of Harry Potter Books for my birthday this year
I’ll turn 22 this October so.. yes it feels insane that I’m that age now, especially as I still live with my parents!
Those gifts are so thoughtful, as you say your family know you well and chose well. Xx
Those books are just beautiful you are so blessed to have such a loving family. Sadly for me my birthday is often forgotten so I make sure to treat myself.
