Dear Ruby, you are living in my dream life. I've never got a chance to study like that. Since childhood I've always working and studying part time till my masters. But I always wanted to go for a real university, study, discuss and live like you. I never had a chance to siting in a library, looking at my screen, books, and taking notes. I still hope life will give me a such chance to study without thinking how to earn something. You a a fortunate girl and which you very all the best.

This is the perfect video to watch in bed right before sleeping 🥰 So soothing and inspiring. I work in tech so completely different field. I used to struggle academically, to the point that I dropped out of high school. After a few years of erring and yearning for purpose, I started learning to code by myself in my room. I have since fallen in love with the craft. I am now working as a software engineer, and studying, by myself again, to delve into a different part of the field which is quite challenging. Watching your videos inspires me to keep working towards my goal. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us!

I do love Salome myself. I've read it loads of times. I think you are right when you say that the place we are in affects our mood and even our productivity. Nature is always the best. I read a poem by Wordsworth this morning and it always puts me in a good mood because I know what it feels like to enjoy Nature and that feeling of joy it can give me. My favourite font is Comic Sans but even Calibri is not bad. It depends on what type of things I have to write. Anyway, I really liked this video. a lot of studying and enthusiasm. It's evident you really love what you do. Hope you'll keep on sharing your readings and personal journey. ❤

Love your videos. I find they are thematic and meaningful somewhat. It is mindful romanticism, I would call it, something I have been doing myself and it’s changed everything for the better. Finding things daily that make you feel good is such a good exercise towards finding beauty in the ordinary, which then ripples into all aspects of your lives. We can all do with that. Whether it is a drink we have, a particular tea flavour, a jumper we wear, the weather, a place we study, people we choose to meet, a book we pick up - all of those things chosen consciously and on purpose make our days pleasure and joy filled, slow and mindful.
