Hey Lene, when I was seventeen I went into a dark room, and thought there should be light, and spent the next five decades trying to find the light and banish the dark. It took all that time to realise it's a dance with both, and the gift of the brave Ren, is to put this realization into such a compelling piece of art. My clumsy footsteps have found a path that is deeply satisfying to walk along.
Firstly Hi, and congratulations on putting yourself out there. I've asked the same question. Am I watching too much Ren and his collaborators? In a funny way the question could be associated to my doubting side as in Hi Ren. Suggesting that you shouldn't have too much of something that you enjoy. That maybe your overdosing, and that's a bad thing, because you're doing things to excess. No, I enjoy it, and I also enjoy others enjoying it. I also like to identifying the ones who tell you they do but their behaviours tell you something different. Are they worthy of my subscription are they worthy of my interaction? At the very least falling into the Ren rabbit hole distracts me from the over powering crap and negativity going on in the world. With Ren I find it quite clear cut. That is that there is no hidden deceit. What you see and hear is genuine and delivered with honesty, desire and love. How refreshing. Why wouldn't you want to listen again and again?
Hi Dean! Thank you so much! The world is full of should's and shouldn'ts and that's a very violent language when it is used internally and externally. It is leading us to believe that our human-ness is inherently not god enough and that we have to do differently or more or less of something to be enough. We have many, many theories of why we do the things we do, but I like to subscribe to the belief that things are correct - even if we don't know it in the moment. That what ever we are doing or experiencing is preparing us for that to come, and it is always giving us opportunity to gain wisdom and clarity! Even when it seems not! I have really learned a lot from Marshall Rosenberg - nonviolent communication, when it comes to how the language we use affects everything! I changed as a person by becoming a student of nonviolent communication! What may I have done well in this video? I am trying to learn how to serve you in the best way! :) I JUST made a facebook group as I feel that we as a community, binging down on Rens music, miss a place to connect more easily and personally. I would like to share my own reaction videos there as well as encourage you to share your favorite reactions too. I would love to see you there! facebook.com/groups/120693227588789
So good to see someone react as I do after hundreds of views. I still cry, it is personal. Congratulations human being. I have watched a ton of reviews, and this is among the very best! Be well.
It's funny---it depends both on my mood and on how the reactor reacts, whether I cry or not now when I watch "Hi, Ren." Also, I wonder: do you (or others) laugh? I do! You see, I think one of the actual signs of positive mental health in dealing with that dark side within all of us is sort of allowing it to speak to us through humor and creativity. I think a lot of comics understand this. And, I'm sorry, but the dark Ren has some of the song's funniest lines and catchiest music!
I have also noticed this. When "dark Ren" sings, the music is moving/affecting my body more. And if you watch carefully, you can also see so many people on the reaction channels starting nodding or moving their heads or their whole bodies as "dark Ren" takes the stage.
@@LeneLarsenNorway Since you are, like me, learning guitar, I bet you can recognize that the "dark Ren" parts have more rhythm. I'm sitting here thinking, "Man, Ren, that must be a real challenge living with such a creative devil. At the same time, I know it's sometimes fun!" PS To both you and @jstwood58 , I like the "human being" bit! Has Ren started a trend?
I think if you think of "Hi Ren" as a work of art then I think all the reactors that react to it are an integral part of it which is a crazy new thing and such an interesting development
Thank you so much Lene, especially with the bipolar, I was misdiagnosed for nearly 20 years it’s all such a rollercoaster ride. Now 24 years on I find I just have to take each day as it comes 😊 Finding Ren and going down the Ren rabbit hole has been incredible to say the least. Thank goodness for TH-cam. I feel connected to you and look forward to listening to you soon.🙏🏼🫶🏼🤗
Ian. I am humbled and grateful for your comment! I imagine those 20 years being very confusing, frustrating and distressing! We all have something we can relate to Rens art, and the beauty is how we are now opening up to one another, discuss the topic of mental, emotional and spiritual health and allow ourselves to further heal in ways we might have been unable to earlier! I am glad to read you feel connected to me, as a big incentive for me in putting myself "out there" is reaching people open to looking into the dark corners of their mind and spirit in order to understand, forgive and let go! We are stronger together and as we allow ourselves to heal, piece by piece, we are puzzling the shattered world back together!
Wow. I got 62 trips around the sun. Only 1 band /person has affected me the way Ren has. And that would be Queen and Freddie Mercury. I have no where near the issues that I could even start comparing my baggage to Rens or others that have legit issues. But Ren and you have made this journey of being Human a little nicer and we will continue to be the best humans we can be. Mad love. Keep on keeping on.
Hi Michael! Did you find the little clip where he covers Freddie? BEAUTIFUL. I do not know if there is a full release, as I am afraid to dive to deep, before I get a chance to make reaction video... as it is so much fun getting your comments on my feelings and thoughts!
@Lene Larsen there is a pop/punk cover of Ren HI Ren by Mr Blackburger you should look/listen to. Starting to get some traction. It's pretty freaking good. Mad love. Lovepeace.
You fully nailed it, because this is not my first time seeing Hi Ren. I actually watched it hundreds of times and watched every-f*-single reaction out there. Also yes, I am still here and please don't be surprised by it, because it was a so genuine video and actually thank you for sharing it. ♥When I was watching/listening to you, I felt the joy of meeting you, but also the sadness of the impossibility of hugging you or any real reciprocity from the opposite side of the world. I hope that you would always bump into right people, who would love & support you in this tiny spectacle of chaos that called life...
What a beautiful comment! This touches my heart and I realize that I really love sharing. I know that this will eventually lead me to have those meaningful interactions and build friendships with people all over the world!
Thank you for your reaction! Like you I too keep watching Hi Ren over and over. I thought I was the only one who can’t stop listening to his words each time with a new ear. You are the 1st reactor I have watched that actually sang along or mouthed the words along with Ren and I do that also and that connects me even more. My husband will notice I am watching Ren again and he will say watching your boy again? I will reply and he says you like that song don’t you. I can’t even describe to him how good it makes me feel but I think he notices difference in me….???? Thank you for listening to Ren for your 201st time and I will be listening right along with you. Keep Reacting!
Haha! I do sing sometimes, but I have long ways to go to become completely at ease wile singing in front of people! Thank you for that! I will soak it up!
A big hug for you Lene!!....No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, TH-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano....You can see in TH-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages....In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...th-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/w-d-xo.html
A big hug for you too, Roimer! Thank you so much for your incredible supportive comment and for the suggestion! I do remember Jim Carrey's movie, "The Mask"! Jim Carrey was one of my favorite actors growing up alongside Robin Williams and Will Smith, and today as I have "gotten to know them" as people and not actors I can totally understand why I liked/like them so much. Incredible people with big hearts! I have not come across the video r singer that you mention, and it will for sure be interesting to witness it. I really love languages, and if the singer is also singing in multiple languages that further spurs my interest! When I was a kid I was hoping I could get by in at least 10 languages by the time I hit 30! Well... I didn't know how hectic the life of a grown up could be! 'Nuf 'bout that! If I will make a reaction video or a video of other sorts about this, I will remember you, Roimer!
It's okay be strong ran still in the world that evils in the mix with with good and they'd well and inside of all of us so. It's okay. God will heal your mind and❤ soul
OMG, how I can relate! And OMG, did I just use OMG ... LOL ... aaargh, I'm caught in Emoji Land! Yikes!! LMAO ... As you know from reading my blog series on "Hi, Ren," I've watched a lot of "Hi, Ren" reaction videos and, I don't think I'm just getting stuck in recency bias, this one really is one of my favorites. I think it's exactly because you DO get so personal----I actually think that's one of the points of "Hi, Ren," now that I think about it---to invite creators/artists to become personal in their work. To express authenticity and vulnerability. I can very much relate to your talk about bipolar. Hearing you talk about it has convinced me it's time for me to start writing some blog posts/creating podcasts (and maybe videos) about my experience with it, because I suspect that condition is MUCH MORE than our current understanding recognizes, and I suspect it is much more common. I also love how you talked about psychedelics----this topic and how society comes to grips with it is extremely important because we are---perhaps globally, but definitely in richer countries---not a psychologically, emotionally, or spiritually healthy species, we are SO disconnected from what it means to BE HUMAN. And psychedelics CAN be a way to reconnect. Okay, obviously your video has cajoled A LOT out of me. Keep it up! PS As an amateur astrologer, one of the things I strongly intuit about our current zeitgeist, as Pluto moves through Aquarius over the next 20 years, is this idea---Express Authenticity and Vulnerability---is extremely important. So I want to end by re-iterating that for ANYONE who has read this long comment! (Ha ha, a long comment for a long reaction vid!)
A long comment for a long reaction video, is just right - and very nice to receive! Thank you for your comments. You have such a great way with words, Bryan! And I really appreciate your praise, as I felt connected when I read your loooong article about Ren. You did a proper piece and it was a great one too! I am very glad that so many people seem to appreciate the honesty, openness and vulnerability. I Am not sure witch route I'll take with this but it will definitely go in the direction of plundering over the human mind and spirituality,... I am a trained hypnotherapist, and although it is years since I practiced, It is still very much a part of me to analyse how our surroundings and the words we use impress the subconscious. Ren has knowledge. And he is using that knowledge.
@@LeneLarsenNorway I think it's a SUPER important project for us to bring awareness to how our subconscious and conscious interacts with the world, and how it impacts our lives personally and collectively. So I encourage you to pursue that route and apply your experience and knowledge!
Phillips wife Susan here. I wonder if the distorted music when Ren is singing about darkness (evil) affects us in a similar way to a psychologist showing patients the ink blot pictures. I think it makes us face our shadow. Then when we hear calm integrated Ren speaking about hope and light we can get in touch with our own inner strength and how we can deal with our issues better. I think different parts of the song hit people in many different ways depending on our own life experiences. I think we can watch Hi Ren many times because we don't stay static in ourselves so each time we listen there is something new to understand about ourselves.
So very well said Susan! I believe that to be true because of the so unsettling feeling I get when hearing that, and I know that it is because I am getting a sense of my own demons moving about in my periphery! No other person or situation can ever MAKE us feel anything, we are feeling certain things based on our internal world and we have the feeling and we get triggered in different ways based on the stimuli we experience. So in that sense Ren does not make us feel anything but he has created some stimuli that commonly talks to our senses, and as our inner world change, we'll understand slightly differently and therefor also react differently.
😂 yes this is like my over 1,000 time watching someone react to Hi Ren!!! Can you do a reaction of someone watching one of Ren's videos?!! That would be amazing!! Or can you react to any of the "The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" on TH-cam. It has Ren and his band in the video!! It would be cool to watch your react to it because it's a live video and omg it's amazing!!
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I get very encouraged by comments like this from you, and I will absolutely do so! I am grateful for your comment!
I subscribed to your channel because I feel so connected to you! ❤ you should do the reaction videos however you want! Everyone does these reaction videos differently and I still watch them because I just want to see what they have to say after watching the video! But if you don't want to get copyrighted then I'm pretty sure that TH-cam makes you stop the reaction video every few minutes/seconds so you don't get copyrighted. But I know that Ren doesn't copyright any of his music. He says that if you get one that says that then just appeal it and he will let it go through without the copyright!.
I enjoyed that I knew you’d be interesting I could tell right from the start of the last video and I’m glad we convinced you to do a reaction. Looking forward to more 💜
Thank you for your comment. It is a pleasure to read that folks find me interesting! haha. Yeah, I really see that reaction videos can be the thing I can really enjoy doing as it can be so much more than "just" the reaction. It is a thought catalyzer, a conversation starter, a stir up in heart and mind that brings about interesting topics. With good music, like Rens music, we can really relate to the content and tie it into our personal experience of life. We can all help each other heal, in one way or another, through giving and receiving understanding, love and acceptance. Thank you for your time and for your willingness to share with me !
Hi Lene, lovely reaction. You have deleted your other videos, I loved your voice, which hurts that they are no longer there. Sorry if you do not understand very well, English is not my language and I use the translator for this. A hug🙂 . By the way, today is Ren's birthday.
@@LeneLarsenNorway My language is South American Spanish, Chile specifically, I am, but I live in Zurich Switzerland and study German, when time leaves me
Just stay real,like Ren,nothing you can do in commenting can be bad if you stay real and true to your feelings,never follow other commenters style ,you are perfect I love your commenting.Go Norway you have brought up a good one.
❤🙏🏻 Thank you for your kind words, Danzel! I am glad you say so. I know you are right, but sometimes insecurities does sneak in! But all in all I feel pretty bad ass! And I feel safe and right being me, on and off camera!
Bravo Lene - thank you for your courage in sharing a little of your life with complete strangers, and for your honesty and eloquence. You have a new subscriber who is looking forward to your next upload 💗
I've just come across your Ren stuff. I fell down the Ren rabbit hole about 2 months ago. I've seen many reaction videos and the ones I like best are when they only stop a couple of times during the video to give their observations and then a more in-depth analysis at the end. I'm sure you've seen it but try reacting to chalk outlines live and then visit chinchilla and her "Fingers" live video. I also think that after he sings near the and and goes back to the falsetto and fast guitar, its exorcising the negative demons in his head. I think it worked. Good luck 🤞
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! We are many in this rabbit hole now... Getting very snug! Also thank you for telling me how you like the reaction videos to be preferably! I actually did a Chalk Outlines reaction a few days ago! Not sure if you seen it, but hope you'll like it! I'll check out fingers too. add it to the list! Thank you!
It totally worked ! be here for more for sure. Say it like so many others see it. Hugs from UK (edit) The new song drops tomorrow ! be great to see it 1st with us …react !
Thank you for your honest reaction and thoughts to Hi Ren, it was nice to see you singing along with the lyrics too which is not something you get from a first time reaction! I too am deep in the rabbit hole having found Ren's work a couple of months ago and am completely blown away with his song writing ability. His lyrics are deep and personal at times and that is when he manages to touch at the essence of what it is to be human with all the joys and struggles that come along with that. It was interesting to hear of your venture with plant-based medicines too, I think they can be extremely beneficial when used in the correct set and setting to help us heal ourselves in a way traditional medicines cannot begin to touch! Liked and subbed and look forward to hearing more from you as you have an interesting take on things. Perhaps you could do a "First Time" reaction to Ren's latest offering which as I am sure you know is to be released very soon. Take care
I loved that book! I remember it catalyzed a ton of action and change in my life back then (around 2010) 'Who Moved My Cheese? ' illustrates the importance of being able to deal with unexpected change, but in such a relatable manner that you can read it in one sitting and walk away with a wealth of knowledge that will forever alter the way you live your life. Would you like to elaborate on what you mean by the question, as I am not quite understanding!
@@LeneLarsenNorway Hey. I saw your video of you in the woods talking about the book. You look so happy and optimistic in that video. I just wanted to mention it. It was a long time ago and yet you remember it well. I am glad. Take care.
Jeg var veldig nervøs for å gjøre en reaksjonsvideo av hans nye innhold og gjøre en 1. time watching reaction! Men jeg endte opp med å se premieren sammen med resten av "blodfansen" og selv om det var veldig nerve-pirrende, var det kjempegøy! Takk for oppmuntringen!
Hey Lene,
when I was seventeen I went into a dark room, and thought there should be light, and spent the next five decades trying to find the light and banish the dark.
It took all that time to realise it's a dance with both, and the gift of the brave Ren, is to put this realization into such a compelling piece of art.
My clumsy footsteps have found a path that is deeply satisfying to walk along.
Beautiful, Roger. Just beautiful! I am happy to read you found a path that fills your heart!
Probably the most important music I've seen and heard in years indeed. 🏴
Straight to the point of why we're all here!
Firstly Hi, and congratulations on putting yourself out there.
I've asked the same question. Am I watching too much Ren and his collaborators?

Okay, obviously your video has cajoled A LOT out of me. Keep it up!
PS As an amateur astrologer, one of the things I strongly intuit about our current zeitgeist, as Pluto moves through Aquarius over the next 20 years, is this idea---Express Authenticity and Vulnerability---is extremely important. So I want to end by re-iterating that for ANYONE who has read this long comment! (Ha ha, a long comment for a long reaction vid!)
A long comment for a long reaction video, is just right - and very nice to receive! Thank you for your comments. You have such a great way with words, Bryan! And I really appreciate your praise, as I felt connected when I read your loooong article about Ren. You did a proper piece and it was a great one too!
I am very glad that so many people seem to appreciate the honesty, openness and vulnerability. I Am not sure witch route I'll take with this but it will definitely go in the direction of plundering over the human mind and spirituality,... I am a trained hypnotherapist, and although it is years since I practiced, It is still very much a part of me to analyse how our surroundings and the words we use impress the subconscious.
Ren has knowledge. And he is using that knowledge.
@@LeneLarsenNorway I think it's a SUPER important project for us to bring awareness to how our subconscious and conscious interacts with the world, and how it impacts our lives personally and collectively. So I encourage you to pursue that route and apply your experience and knowledge!
Phillips wife Susan here. I wonder if the distorted music when Ren is singing about darkness (evil) affects us in a similar way to a psychologist showing patients the ink blot pictures. I think it makes us face our shadow. Then when we hear calm integrated Ren speaking about hope and light we can get in touch with our own inner strength and how we can deal with our issues better. I think different parts of the song hit people in many different ways depending on our own life experiences. I think we can watch Hi Ren many times because we don't stay static in ourselves so each time we listen there is something new to understand about ourselves.
So very well said Susan! I believe that to be true because of the so unsettling feeling I get when hearing that, and I know that it is because I am getting a sense of my own demons moving about in my periphery! No other person or situation can ever MAKE us feel anything, we are feeling certain things based on our internal world and we have the feeling and we get triggered in different ways based on the stimuli we experience. So in that sense Ren does not make us feel anything but he has created some stimuli that commonly talks to our senses, and as our inner world change, we'll understand slightly differently and therefor also react differently.
😂 yes this is like my over 1,000 time watching someone react to Hi Ren!!! Can you do a reaction of someone watching one of Ren's videos?!! That would be amazing!! Or can you react to any of the "The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" on TH-cam. It has Ren and his band in the video!! It would be cool to watch your react to it because it's a live video and omg it's amazing!!
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I get very encouraged by comments like this from you, and I will absolutely do so! I am grateful for your comment!
I subscribed to your channel because I feel so connected to you! ❤ you should do the reaction videos however you want! Everyone does these reaction videos differently and I still watch them because I just want to see what they have to say after watching the video! But if you don't want to get copyrighted then I'm pretty sure that TH-cam makes you stop the reaction video every few minutes/seconds so you don't get copyrighted. But I know that Ren doesn't copyright any of his music. He says that if you get one that says that then just appeal it and he will let it go through without the copyright!.
Ohh. Love this comment. So sweet! For the reason I am doing this! Thank you so much for your consideration!
Greetings from another Norwegian in the middle of Minnesota.
Yes I'm still here and yes I relate very much!
You are awesome.
You got my sub
Wow, thank you! That is great to read! I am happy you would like to follow along!
I enjoyed that I knew you’d be interesting I could tell right from the start of the last video and I’m glad we convinced you to do a reaction. Looking forward to more 💜
Thank you for your comment. It is a pleasure to read that folks find me interesting! haha. Yeah, I really see that reaction videos can be the thing I can really enjoy doing as it can be so much more than "just" the reaction. It is a thought catalyzer, a conversation starter, a stir up in heart and mind that brings about interesting topics. With good music, like Rens music, we can really relate to the content and tie it into our personal experience of life. We can all help each other heal, in one way or another, through giving and receiving understanding, love and acceptance. Thank you for your time and for your willingness to share with me !
Hi Lene, lovely reaction. You have deleted your other videos, I loved your voice, which hurts that they are no longer there. Sorry if you do not understand very well, English is not my language and I use the translator for this. A hug🙂 . By the way, today is Ren's birthday.
Thank you, Roberto. I am flattered!
@@LeneLarsenNorway My language is South American Spanish, Chile specifically, I am, but I live in Zurich Switzerland and study German, when time leaves me
@@LeneLarsenNorway He wrote you a message on your other TH-cam. Slow Norwegian, Why don't you practice more?
Just stay real,like Ren,nothing you can do in commenting can be bad if you stay real and true to your feelings,never follow other commenters style ,you are perfect I love your commenting.Go Norway you have brought up a good one.
❤🙏🏻 Thank you for your kind words, Danzel! I am glad you say so. I know you are right, but sometimes insecurities does sneak in! But all in all I feel pretty bad ass! And I feel safe and right being me, on and off camera!
@@LeneLarsenNorway Nice to hear,I really like you and your commentating.
Bravo Lene - thank you for your courage in sharing a little of your life with complete strangers, and for your honesty and eloquence. You have a new subscriber who is looking forward to your next upload 💗
Thank you for your kind words!
Powerful love is for fellow humans is what I meant to say
❤
I've just come across your Ren stuff. I fell down the Ren rabbit hole about 2 months ago. I've seen many reaction videos and the ones I like best are when they only stop a couple of times during the video to give their observations and then a more in-depth analysis at the end. I'm sure you've seen it but try reacting to chalk outlines live and then visit chinchilla and her "Fingers" live video.
I also think that after he sings near the and and goes back to the falsetto and fast guitar, its exorcising the negative demons in his head. I think it worked.
Good luck 🤞
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! We are many in this rabbit hole now... Getting very snug! Also thank you for telling me how you like the reaction videos to be preferably! I actually did a Chalk Outlines reaction a few days ago! Not sure if you seen it, but hope you'll like it! I'll check out fingers too. add it to the list! Thank you!
It totally worked ! be here for more for sure. Say it like so many others see it. Hugs from UK (edit) The new song drops tomorrow ! be great to see it 1st with us …react !
What worked?
Thank you for your honest reaction and thoughts to Hi Ren, it was nice to see you singing along with the lyrics too which is not something you get from a first time reaction! I too am deep in the rabbit hole having found Ren's work a couple of months ago and am completely blown away with his song writing ability. His lyrics are deep and personal at times and that is when he manages to touch at the essence of what it is to be human with all the joys and struggles that come along with that. It was interesting to hear of your venture with plant-based medicines too, I think they can be extremely beneficial when used in the correct set and setting to help us heal ourselves in a way traditional medicines cannot begin to touch! Liked and subbed and look forward to hearing more from you as you have an interesting take on things. Perhaps you could do a "First Time" reaction to Ren's latest offering which as I am sure you know is to be released very soon. Take care
Thank you!
@@LeneLarsenNorway Make sure you listen to Sick Boi before you listen to the new release. Often Ren's songs connect to each other.
New release Wednesday 3 pm est
In many ways, “reaction” videos should instead be “watch this with me” instead. A lot of appreciation comes after the first viewing.
There are a hidden message most miss ... Google: LD50... scribbled on the back of Ren's wheelchair.
...Ren's been to hell and back.
Who moved my cheese! Did you find your's?
I loved that book! I remember it catalyzed a ton of action and change in my life back then (around 2010)
'Who Moved My Cheese? ' illustrates the importance of being able to deal with unexpected change, but in such a relatable manner that you can read it in one sitting and walk away with a wealth of knowledge that will forever alter the way you live your life.
Would you like to elaborate on what you mean by the question, as I am not quite understanding!
@@LeneLarsenNorway Hey. I saw your video of you in the woods talking about the book. You look so happy and optimistic in that video. I just wanted to mention it. It was a long time ago and yet you remember it well. I am glad. Take care.
You are beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Du kan ihvertfall ha en first reaction på hans nye video i morgen :)
Jeg var veldig nervøs for å gjøre en reaksjonsvideo av hans nye innhold og gjøre en 1. time watching reaction! Men jeg endte opp med å se premieren sammen med resten av "blodfansen" og selv om det var veldig nerve-pirrende, var det kjempegøy! Takk for oppmuntringen!
