    I'm an old guy, and Ren is one of the wisest people I've ever seen. The world needs as many like him as we can get, so I hope his message is heard and heeded by many. Thanks for this reaction.

      I'm 39 and he's taught me a lot. I could listen to his music all day, but also listen to a podcast of him talking for hours. Can't wait until he writes a book. He could. I have many of the same thoughts, but can't get them out like he can

      64 y.o. here, and I feel the same way. I feel it in my bones that Ren is a touchstone kind of person who really will help "raise all ships." (Mixed metaphors, lol.) Seeing how people of ALL ages are reacting to him and his art in a positive, thoughtful way gives me a great sense of hope. Edit: "Touchstone" isn't quite the right word. Maybe "talisman" is better.

      I'm 60 and Ren has taught me so much too.
      My 21-year-old can't get into him because Dad recommended him first.
      We are the opposite about creating an image.
      Between Ren and Dimash, The 2 GOATS, in Dad's opinion, can't be on any "Top 10" list of son.

    4:27 (cdt) It is apparent that Ren lives outside of himself. That seems to be where his strength comes from. Every time I hear him talk he is giving some of his strength away to someone less healthy than he. Ren you are a good dude, my friend.

      I think he is an old soul, wise beyond his years. He is also very intelligent, reminds me of someone with a high IQ. I think he would of been just as great without being sick, but the sickness gave him strength and empathy in another direction.

    Beautiful words man, I don’t know you, I just arrived here because I follow REN, I just subscribed to your channel, I’m constantly surprised to see how many mature people are inspired by this young man, I believe REN is wise beyond his years. I’m more than 20yrs older than he is (12/8/67) and he is teaching me how to be a better human.
    Take care man

    @MissMeKate Рік тому +51

    In the UK we're mainly directed toward counselling or CBT for mental health care, but I think Ren is a great example of how ACT may sometimes be more beneficial - especially those with chronic illnesses who cannot change our situations. One of my most important lessons was that acceptance of my illness and its limitations did not mean I had given up on hope of recovery. Quite the opposite; it was the only way to heal.

    • @rachaeltoner6427

      I have been leaning this way more and more, I don’t want to think about my health every day, i just want to accept it and move in and I think I’m getting there. Ren is a hugely therapeutic person at every level, even the lighter tunes are absolute fire. He makes me laugh cry dance. No one like him.

    Ren truly has such a maturity and understanding of the human experience, and he tells, us through his songs, videos and his art that we are all not alone in our experiences, how every they affect us. And himself. He shows his vulnerability, so we can see and show our own. This is why Ren is loved by many.

    So you popped up as a recommendation on my UA-cam page, and having seen Ren's video earlier today, and with his having mentioned the reaction community's support helped him to connect with more people, I thought I'd give you a spin. I'm glad I did. I enjoyed your words and insights, for I found them enlightening and affirming. Ren is a very special person who stands to have an enormous impact on the world, and people like you help him to spread his message, and I am genuinely grateful for that. I've subscribed to your channel and will check out some of your other videos. If this video is any indication of your work, I suspect I will be checking out many of them. Thanks for your wise words.

    People living in cities that become disconnected with nature maybe do not realise what damage is being done. The way we think of the small picture and not the future for our children and grandchildren etc.A completely throw away society is so distructive. We have lost the art of making things that are beautiful and last or can be mended.

    Ren is fantastic and although I believe all he does and know his intentions are right this is a bit to much (for me personally). The message is fully included in his art no need to do this Ren with all due respect I love you and cry a lot when you hit me again and again with Hi Ren. You make me proud and thankful I lived in the time Ren finally got his well deserved stage. Keep the magic in the art. Show yourself in interviews and avoid overdoing things aside like this. I really hope this feedback does not offend anyone it's my opinion (or feeling).
