It's a bit early to say if it's life changing, but Hi Ren made me reassess my thought patterns and negative self talk in ways therapy never could, which is pretty damn powerful for a musical performance.
How did it pull that off?
No health care professional ever told me that depression can be something that's just a part of who I am, and that maybe there is no getting rid of it. Rens message in the video feels so genuine and real that instead of passing it over as just another piece of pop culture, I stopped to really listen and think about what he's saying about managing your darker tendencies and learning to live with them. The song has maybe helped me accept myself a bit better, but as I said, it's still a bit too early to call if it's an actually permanent and useful effect.
Hi Ren is one of the only songs I will ever acknowledge as brave.
Mildy related, have you seen Sucker Punch? You may appreciate it more than the average movie goer (but it could also be off putting)
Haven't seen, will add to the shortlist. Thanks for the recommendation!
Whats your home life like? Hows your sleep?
I myself dont associate with any of the personal struggles discussed in 'Chalk Outlines' but dammit if it doesnt make me feel something, almost tears every time.
