This still makes me tear up, no matter how much I watch it. Never have I been so invested in an artist as I am with Ren. He's the very definition of courage & resilience. You show the same level of openness & vulnerability as Ren - thank you for doing the Chapters. Just a heads up Chapter 6 is a bit challenging, but still worth watching.
The movie clip was from 28 days later, which stars Cillian Murphy who also plays the main character Thomas Shelby from Peaky blinders, people are always saying Ren looks like him when they watch Hi Ren 👍
been here with you since your first ren reaction. thank you for not only sharing your ren journey with all of us, but also your personal journey. keep your head up, rj. much love
Thank you so so much! I really do appreciate you and the help! Thank you for continuing to enjoy this unforgettable ride with me! Much love to you as well, my friend!
I lost my baby brother to his own hand in 2020... because of quarantine we weren't even allowed to have a funeral. I can't imagine the pain Ren feels realizing he might have been able to save Joe, as well as the pain of not being able to say goodbye in a way we appreciate.
Ren did the GOTCHA on you TRM! No worries, we were all right there with you the enitre time. Reach out to anyone and be kind, if only to get one step closer to the beauty of Ren.
Tysm for reacting to these ❤ they're absolutely incredible. I know it wasn't easy for him to do this but I'm proud of him for being able to. Thank you for your beautiful reaction. I'm so glad you are still here, you're a beacon of light in this world ❤🫂🫶🏻
‘For Joe’ - the song which got me back into playing piano for the first time in 20 years. There was no sheet music available at the time, so I really had to hone my listening skills to eventually create my own sheet music for the piano. There’s a part in the middle that nearly killed me though. Oh the hours I spent trying to get that bit right.. and fast enough. Sheeesh. 27:24 THIS BIT KILLED ME.
So glad you are feeling a bit better, have sent a little more as I’ve been paid, and instead of buying Xmas cards I always give the money to a worthy cause ❤ I decided I wasn’t going to watch this again, but watched along with you, because you’re so tuned into Ren ❤️
Beautifully poignant and honest reaction. These chapters and this song, in particular, hits hard. So glad you are with us and sharing your story. Much love to you. ❤
I'm sending you a big ass hug virtually as i start this video, and sending you gratitude and love for your genuine kindness and thoughtful inquistiveness about ren, I couldn't think of a person more suited than yourself to have found ren and have him and his messages resonate with you. You are a lovely soul and terrific human my friend :)
Thank you for this open and personal reaction 👍❤ It's always hard to watch the chapters. Lots of love and big hugs to you and everyone out there who needs it 🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤ Do some uplifting stuff for a change, e.g. Ren's 1990s (Official Lyric Video) Take care.
I don't think that's fair. Joe was his own person with his own story. Nobody's purpose is to die in this way. It is always a tragedy. The fact that Ren managed to make something so positive out of his own grief doesn't change that.
I understand the sentiment... but I don't like the idea that we're pawns for someone else's progress. I'm am quite sure that Ren would have his friend back over any of his success ❤💔💔💙🖤
I wanted to... not sure I would have ever actually done it. But honestly Ren saved me from even the thought of it. Thank you for bearing your soul to everyone, it takes courage. You're a beautiful human ❤
Ren is accepting he might have that autoimmunity fir lufe and he still has Lyme and co infections. So a year and half 5 days a week treatment didn't save him from a scary relapse. Glad you are still here. Your son is lucky to have you.
Oh this will be a great journey for you! Tough, but important. And hopefully you will find some comfort or hope for your own situation. You will definitely need tissues at hand though. Especially for chapter 6… Ren has a way with words and is a brilliant storyteller. Even more so when it’s *his* story. This was a very difficult story for him to tell though. Diving into painful memories and experiences - some that have caused PTSD. But this beautiful human being did it all anyway in the hopes that his story can help others and spread awareness ❤
Oh so very **Over Joyed** that YOU are doing these! k just saw the title & have not watched it yet just wanted to say Thank YOU for wanting to know **GeniusRenTheUnicorn** MORE!
@@ranahooke1907 Awww YAY HiHi **Ranahooke** So **Pretty** teehee & i shall **Celebrate** YOU for bringing **RJ** to **OurBeautifulBeingGeniusRenTheUnicorn**
28:29 This bit is a continuation of one of Ren’s earliest tracks called ‘Freckled Angels’. There’s a live video of Ren performing Freckled Angels 13 years ago.. he was such a baby (well, 20.. he’s 34 now). It’s in the spreadsheet so you’ll get to it eventually.
Thanks for sharing your feelings so honestly and connecting with Ren and his stories. You have a few choices of going deeper or going lighter. If you want to have a new favorite rap song, LOSING IT, became my favorite. It's fun and it's like really the best. Lots of good reasons to love it. I'm sure you'll get some help with what you're going through. I hope your son gets a chance to see this video and recognized how much love you have for him and that you're a great example of how to persevere, continue, and carry on when it's dark. There's moments of brightness that lead to moments of Savior.
23:22....my mother committed suicide,....I will forget it, she came to visit at the woman shelter in Montreal, I was holding my 2 year old daughter and I was pregnant with my second daughter, I was diagnosed with HIV, and my mother, jumped out the window....and my family blamed me, for her death, they thought I pushed her out the windows 😢😢😢 this hits hard...after years of medication and ptsd....thank you Ren, sharing your story ❤ Merry Christmas to everyone and safe travels
I am so sorry to hear this. 🥺. Thank you for sharing your story with not only me but everyone here as well. I hope you're able to heal. If you need anyone to talk to, please reach out to me! ❤️
SENDING LOVE❤ To both You RJ AND Ren ,,, and so glad both are still with your family and us When you said you wanted to know more of Ren I knew his Life Chapters would be perfect you hear it from Ren it might get tearful but worth watching another one is to watch Ren’s interview with Zach Sung Show ( UA-cam put in Ren Zach Sung Show in search) and it will come up be prepare to have tissues with the Life Chapters and Zach Sung Show interview,, The Zach Sung interview I had goosebumps and cried Ren spoke to me right then and there and he explains the symbol of the Pig in his videos
I figure if Ren can live through all the things in these chapters and not give up, then I can do the same. That and the Renegades are what's keeping me going at this point 😊 much love ✌️
Donated a bit on the gofundme again. I wish you the very best! Maybe check out some chinchilla when you get time? Fingers live is a good start. Thank you for your Ren reactions!
11:24 You learned your lesson quickly. Many aren’t that lucky and get stuck in a cycle of numbing their pain with substances. Myself included at one point in my life.
Joe Hughes' legacy is woven throughout Ren's music. Every life it saves, they save together. Sending you a hug. We're glad you're here. You're definitely teaching your son that strength doesn't mean never showing weakness, it means having the courage to hope even when you feel hopeless. 🫂

Thank you so so much! I really do appreciate you and the help! Thank you for continuing to enjoy this unforgettable ride with me! Much love to you as well, my friend!
I’m glad you are still here with us. I also hope you are able to get on top of your Crohn’s disease and go back into remission.
So glad you are doing the Chapters, they can be hard to watch but to see the resilience of this man is incredible, thanks for your reaction ❤

You’re doing the Chapters?! Man…. You have no idea what’s waiting for you!
Ren did the GOTCHA on you TRM! No worries, we were all right there with you the enitre time. Reach out to anyone and be kind, if only to get one step closer to the beauty of Ren.
Ren's words to Joe inspire us to face the world with courage. Wonderful ❤️

Ren has been through so much, that we all relate, to enough of his story to feel a connection to the man himself!

Powerful and so human.

Lots of love and big hugs to you and everyone out there who needs it 🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤🫂❤
Do some uplifting stuff for a change, e.g. Ren's 1990s (Official Lyric Video)
Take care.
It’s like Joe’s purpose on earth was to show Ren what not to do so as to save him for a higher purpose.
I don't think that's fair. Joe was his own person with his own story. Nobody's purpose is to die in this way. It is always a tragedy. The fact that Ren managed to make something so positive out of his own grief doesn't change that.
I understand the sentiment... but I don't like the idea that we're pawns for someone else's progress. I'm am quite sure that Ren would have his friend back over any of his success ❤💔💔💙🖤

They should make a movie about Ren. Starring Ren.
Hell, he should just do it. It's a crazy story.
I think thats definitely in his future. ❤ acting and writing for sure xx
You have very good reasons for sticking around for sure. I reckon you are a great role model for your son.
Yep to the movie clip.
Oh so very **Over Joyed** that YOU are doing these! k just saw the title & have not watched it yet just wanted to say Thank YOU for wanting to know **GeniusRenTheUnicorn** MORE!

❤️. Thank you so much, Jennifer! I truly appreciate you ❤️
Su*c*de doesn't end pain. The pain gets passed on to the souls who are left behind. It's a brutal inheritance.
I told ya this would be heavy!!! Definitely get tissues next time!! ❤❤❤
Thanks
Thank you so so very much for your help and support! I appreciate you!
@TRMReacts62812 as I do you brother. Appreciate you
23:23 It just hit you. Exactly what I needed to have hit you. Why I chose this one. I think you needed a little reminder.
❤❤❤
I'm sorry I cant offer more ❤
Just you willing to help is more than I could ever ask for. Thank you so very much! ❤️
11:24 You learned your lesson quickly. Many aren’t that lucky and get stuck in a cycle of numbing their pain with substances. Myself included at one point in my life.
I just thought of the Hi Ren parody by Moss.E called Hi Ron, you should check it out.
This is hilarious. I’ll add it to RJ’s list. ❤
I see how much your baby means to you. You and he both deserve so much. 🥰🥰🥰
I’m glad you’re still around. Truly. ❤️
@ 33:49 💜🖤
Oof. Ok. Here we go. Wish you’d done a happy one after!!
❤
28 days!

🥺❤️ kinda tough. But I needed to see this. ❤️
@TRMReacts62812 I’m only up to the big push medley!! No spoilers!! Hahah.

Hard to watch this one again peace
