As a medical professional who is also a patient with medical trauma- I love your music and the portion of your soul you've opted to share with the world. Thank you.
The one constant in your whole story is you never gave up and you were open minded and welcoming to every character you came across, inspiring stuff Ren
Ren is the kind of guy that people just want to chat with. Not idolize, not worship, just have a bit of a chat. For someone that is fast becoming one of the biggest names in music (he will, just watch), that is the single most endearing thing about him.
I’m a 47 year old man in the southern US. I have been in several bands and did the hip hop/ rock music most of my life. Never pushed myself and very lazy although I felt I had a lot of talent. Looking at how you pushed through adversity has spawned a new love for guitar. I bought a classical guitar because you played one in your hi ren and Jenny and screech. In the past 6 months I made more progress at playing than my whole life combined. I even started making beats again using my own guitar samples. I’m too old to make it big but the enjoyment will never die. You’re the reason my guy. Much love from North Carolina.
I binged this like it was the Game of Thrones...a compelling and challenging story told in a way that only Ren could. So glad to see this story end on a happy note. He seems to be suffering a bit of a relapse at the moment based on what he has shared...let's hope that's just a temporary setback. Wishing this lovable genius the best.
Ren mate, you don't need to thank us, it's us that need to thank you. For your amazing music, your love and almost inhuman raw honesty. You make the world a better more loving place.
Ren, you just hacked any and all tabloids who would've ventured into digging anything from your past... and saved the hungry fanbase thousands of hours of google diving 😂 Thank you for being so open, honest and raw, laying your beautiful soul bare for all of us to understand. You are loved and respected by so many! Your work and mission are an inspiration, making a tremendous difference! And that's just you as a human. Your multifaceted talent sets the bar so high that it'd be difficult for the competition to catch up 😅
I have fibromyalgia and ankyolising spondylitis (according to my doctors) These chapters were so fucking hard to sit through, but so worth it. I was in tears for a lot of this. I am a 35yr old man who was on track to be an active father and a carpenter, then the debilitating pain started. I went from an active man in my early 20s to someone i still dont recognise, my wife went from parter to carer and i have spent 10+yrs mostly bedbound. I know exactly how i will leave the world if i lose the stubbornness to live for the sake of those who love me. It is Ren's story and music that has helped me to keep that stubbornness in the past year, so on behalf of my family i have nothing but gratitude for Ren.
I was married to a woman whose symptoms sound a lot like Ren's. She didn't contract them until a little while after our daughter was born. She was a human guinea pig for a LOT of doctors in 4 states that were sure they knew her diagnosis. She was put through 11 surgeries in 4 years. Then a slew of "renowned diagnosticians" that were sure they had the answer put her through various supposed cutting edge treatments. She was bedridden most of the time and in constant pain, lethargic, severe anxiety, and hallucinations. I took care of her and our daughter as best I could whilst working full time. Luckily I had an understanding employer that didn't mind if I needed to leave work at a moment's notice and be away for prolonged periods. Being a caretaker for someone you love that you can't help other than showing your love and being as comforting as possible. It was exhausting but you don't mind because that's your soulmate. Hearing your story makes me realize we weren't alone and gives comfort. Thak you!
REN SIR....OR SIR REN...YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION FOR MANY AROUND THE WORLD...I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRANSPARENCY AND COURAGE TO TELL THE STRUGGLES YOU HAVE ENDURED. HI REN CHANGED THIS 52 YR OLD LADY FROM TACOMA, WASHINGTON AND I AM PROUD AND GRATEFUL FOR A MUSICIAN FROM BRITAIN! MUCH ❤️
