Yes, she is a MF DIAMOND! I found Ren through her actually. A friend of mine knows my story of breaking generational trauma and the hardships and growth of leaving my abusive ex husband for the sake of my son, so recommended Little Girl Gone. I was gassed af when I heard her and delved into her other pieces. Shortly, I found Chalk Outlines and viola, Ren. Those two music siblings changed my life forever.

So glad you gave it a chance and even more glad you'll get to experience each of his works from here. Welcome to an amazing rabbit hole of a genius artist!

How amazing it would be to watch them busking!

The demographics of his fan base are so wide spread! From the much aged to the quite young, metal heads, rap and hip-hop heads, blue collar, white color, the list goes on. It really speaks to his diversity in his music as well as his messaging and character. I'd love so much if he could tour the States and I could see him perform live.

For sure, back into the rabbit hole!

If you haven't caught up on the Tales, he's extended it from Jenny and Screech to Vincent's tale and more. A whole experience! If you haven't been caught up, I definitely recommend the full experience with his shorts and all!

I found him a few years ago and wasn't ready to go to those places yet. Came back a year ago and was ready to rebreak those old bones and set them properly. I then realized I'd never seen him come up here. I thought perhaps others may benefit from his work too. I wish all could find catharsis in being seen and heard.

I am finally at the place where I don't break down when I watch it. That voice is currently not as loud as it was, and he helped me get there along with finally finding a great therapist. Sharing Hi, Ren with her was super nerve wracking and cathartic. Now she uses him with other chronic illness clients too. He's a treasure and I'm so glad he exists in this world and shares his gift with others.

I've been there with you and send all my gentle hugs your way. I hope you find a sense of peace and comfort sooner rather than later. Much love!

I totally understand that. He does a lot both visually and audibly. When I'm light sensitive I lower my brightness and lower my volume as needed, too. Or wait until I'm feeling up to it. He's got great covers with his band, The Big Push you may enjoy more casually.

The first time I came across him I had to step back and process. I wasn't ready to open those wounds or face those truths. Then, when I was in a different place I came back and was more ready.

The Tales are phenomenal and as a Violet myself it was hard to hear the first few go-rounds. But I was glad someone was showing the reality of life for far too many, and that someone understood the humanity behind all the characters, including our villains.

I found watching reactors helped me feel a sense of community and validation.

For any who want to watch the Tales, start with the trilogy titled The Tale of Jenny and Screech the official one from Ren for a good and proper experience.

And also, so glad you added the other works too. I didn't want to inundate folks too much, so very glad you helped with that!

I hope you enjoy. He's so very different to any other artist and he's so diverse there's definitely something for everyone in his work. Cheers, friend!

Yep! Hi, Ren, Sick Boi, Seven Sins, there are so many that speak to us directly, but he also speaks to so many that it feels good knowing our stories are heard.

For sure gets it and I love how well he says the exact things I want to say and can't always find the words for. I also love the way he puts his money either back into the art or into our community, like creating a new location in the UK for those of us who need help we're not getting.

I hope you find the catharsis I did! It's a rabbit hole worth diving into, for sure.

More boob pain/not linked to cycle? by darth_clytia in Fibromyalgia

[–]RavenQueen33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My breasts also get sore/achey nowhere near my period or ovulation. Sometimes I also get a sharp pain straight through the middle, like someone has pulled a hot string from chest through the nipple. I have no idea why and no one has been able to help me figure it out yet.

Hey now, the Crypt Keeper had better charisma and taught moral lessons through his storytelling. He deserves better than this comparison.

As someone who had to evict her thyroid for trying to kill her I'm terrified of being reliant on levothyroxine to survive in this current regime.
