Thankss as always for the supprt on these! My new song comes out on Thursday, I would luv for it to be able reach as many people as possible who are still left int he dark like I felt, buying and pre-ordering the song on iTunes and bandcamp here: https://renmakesmusic.lnk.to/Troubles is the best way to help make that achievable. Love x

You left out the part when you met up with Sam that day that  not only did you offer him to sing through your amp whilst you played guitar, but that you also said he could keep all the money both of you made, and you kept that promise.  There isn't a jealous or greedy bone in your body - you are generous, selfless and inspirational in every way and I cannot think of a better role model in our world right now to show how humanity can make this world feel a better place

"It’s hard to accept love when you feel ugly" damn Ren,  I feel this too hard

Dude has made his own autobiographical documentary about dealing with a debilitating disease. That's the epitome of overcoming.

Damn this was maybe the biggest rollercoaster so far. From the first meeting with Sam and Connor, to the creepiest “therapist”, to your sister secretly setting you up and someone somehow managing to sleep on a shelf in a wardrobe, and finally to more loss as you lost multiple friends from the chronic illness community. What a life you have had. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for being such a great voice for the missing. You truly have the strength of a mountain and the heart of a lion ❤️🦁 I hope you don’t forget to look after yourself through all this 🫂

I turned 32, fell down getting out of bed and for the next five years went without diagnosis for why I couldn't walk.
15 years later after a hellish journey I am learning to fence and going to the gym every day. Your story feels so personal and relatable, thank you for telling it.

The comparison of Sam being Ren living on an alternate reality where he never got sick got me.
His strength to not feel jealous, but proud is so inspiring

I only came to re watch chapter 1 but here i am watching them all again. Ren you have given so much to me and probably thousands of others. Telling us everything I've never known any other artist to do this. I continue to follow you and always will. You've touched so many heart's just please continue doing what you do. Much love and respect 🙏 ❤

Don’t forget to respect the privacy of the people in the stories REN tells. We want this journey to continue. Be respectful!!!

I love the addition of a song at the end of each chapter. ❤❤❤

This chapter just confirms what I commented on chapter 1, you truly are an emotional intelligent empath…a bloody resilient one too! ❤️x

" You can't stop a wave, but you can learn to surf it! " This is one my favorite quotes of yours and it has stuck with me.Life is definitely something you need to find balance to navigate through and you do it very well. Continue being the waviest guy Ren! You're helping people navigate. Thank you! And patience is my favorite!❤

Thumbs up if you're here because youve taken the same journey. Im 54 yo.

You did these chapters so raw and beautiful. ✨ 💎

I can say this sincerely and not be creepy because I am old enough to be your grandmother. You are beautiful inside and out.

"95% of my time in my bedroom" Goddamn that line hit me. Shout out to all those with chronic illness and introverts in general. Remember - you don't have to have a chronic illness to have social phobia.

We all have a story that SHOULD be shared with other people. Never forget that either.

❤❤❤

Thank you, Ren.  I'm so thankful you are alive.  And I watched Unrest and cried the whole time.  My heart goes out to all of you with chronic illnesses <3

Ill be back soon to watch 6,7,8 but right now i need to not cry

Your strength, courage, and hope are an inspiration! I love the story of how you and Sam met. Your kindness and generosity shine through so vividly. Those moments of serendipity are truly special and I don’t think they were merely coincidences. Thank you for sharing your journey. We love you! 💕🫂💕

for every hope that dies another one takes it's place☮🕉
