It costs exactly zero dollars to be nice. I'm in constant daily pain with a chronic pain disorder as well as built up injuries over the years from damage due to hypermobility. I'm agoraphobic and have panic disorder and major depression. I have to force myself to leave my house and every time i have to it's like Sisyphus trying to push his rock. I'm terrified of people, but I smile. When i do go out I'm not going to hit people with my cane no matter how awful they can be. If i acted angry just because they did that would just make everyone feel bad. Sometimes smiling is its own reward. Sometimes all an awful person needs is a kind word or just someone not reacting. It isn't their fault I'm disabled any more than it's my fault that they are angry/sad/grumpy/need a snickers... It's also not their fault or problem that i am afraid of being there. It's not their fault that I'm embarrassed and angry at myself for being broken.... So i smile. It may be a terrified smile, it usually feels like it lol, but I've been told i have a kind smile (or they lied to make me feel better, but hey, it worked). Just treat people like you want them to treat you. I want people to not be mean and to maybe just smile and move on lol. So that's what i try to do. (Unfortunately, when I'm really uncomfortable i can't shut up. So cashiers, doctors assistants, waitresses (when i get the nerve or meds to go in one) all get to hear my verbal diarrhea. There are strangers out there who know almost as much as my shrink does (I'm only exaggerating a little 🤏). See.... too much info lol. Sorry for the novel, i suck at this. I love what Ren does, just by wearing his heart on his sleeve. And you seem so kind and empathetic... we need more people like y'all. Maybe then I'd be less afraid to leave my house... 💜🌻🕊💜
I had that happen once. I was in a gas station and the lady in front of me was really mean to the cashier. I pulled her aside and asked what was wrong because her treatment of the cashier was so not normal. She broke down and told me that her husband was in the hospital nearby and he wasn’t expected to make it.
I truly appreciate your self deprecation. You have odd self doubt for someone who puts themself out into the “Inter-Webs” like you do. You are like-able & you are you which is more than good enough! I listen to this song every morning because it’s truthful & beautiful!
FUnny enough, I recently realized I"m not okay and honestly that's where all the best comedians come from with self deprecation humor. I have a tattoo on my arm that says "choose happy always" and at the time, it was the best decision and I felt it deep within my soul that it was the best decision because in my mind I was on such a high and so happy. Now I realize I'm going through so much after demasking and realizing "oh I'm actually a depressed person and have been my entire life" I'm not ignorant to the fact that happiness is fucking hard and you can't just fucking choose it. So in hindsight I don't regret this tattoo I have but now it's more-so a reminder of where I was at during that high point and now I"m getting the help I need which I believe is for OCD and hopefully getting assessed for ADHD *big thumbs up* also who knows where life may take me, I have lots of funny stories and self deprecating humor is by its very nature "abusive" to oneself and quite funny to bring awareness to mental health in away- maybe I'll get over my fear of public speaking and try my hand at open mic stand up and maybe post some stuff. We shall see. I appreciate your POV and I'm grateful for it ❤
@@therosebush you show much more strength than you give yourself credit for, I would love to make videos & let the world see my vulnerabilities but I’m overwhelmingly shy with that. I’m not shy in face to face or group interactions but the thought of putting myself out on social media terrifies me.
You could have a live stream sometime. That way people can chat with you in real time and it wouldn't be a one way conversation. I agreed with everything you said. You never know what other ppl are going through to be acting the way they do.
Thank you. Well said. I cry watching this because it’s hard to see good when there is so much bad and pain and suffering. Chronic pain definitely changes you. I’ve seriously lost faith in everything. So when little glimmers of love show up, I cry because it’s not everywhere. It’s not the norm. There is too much pain in the world to not be kind to people. You have no idea what anyone is going through. At least do no harm.
It's a wonderful uplifting video but you only get one of the verses, so it's worth listening to the audio as well, so you get to hear the full song. :)
so which is it? is a person perhaps having a bad day (maybe they just lost a loved one, or just in a bad fkn mood) and being an ass and having a life crisis maybe riding your ass in a vehicle...should WE BE more understanding and move out of the way? Or ..is it that all the people being asses should just stop and realize theyre being asses? Please clarify,
Ren is such a good person. His humanity just flows out of him.

I’ve listened to Ren every day for 13 months thank you for a new song.

Such a feel good song/video ! Love it !
You are amazing, and so cute in every sense of the word. Tons of love
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words they mean a lot to me : )
Big old massive dump is my favorite line. Don’t worry Rose It’s Alright!! 😂❤
His positivity is infectious
The Band Ren was in also made a song called "It's alright" but that one is a bit more positive sounding ❤
The Band is called The Big Push 😊

thank you Rose for reacting to my favourite artist ever sending big love from the UK ❤❤❤
