Depression is a beast.
BUT you don't have to let it win. You are strong enough to survive.
One of the hottest "new" musical artists is a man who has struggled with severe physical and mental illness for well over a decade. And, against all odds, he continues struggling and surviving and winning and inspiring others to keep going.
Ren Gill -- or just Ren to his millions of fans -- is a survivor. Like Harry Potter, he keeps on being "the boy who lived". He lives, he fights his demons -- physical, mental and emotional demons -- he gets stronger, he slips, he gets back up.
Here's one of his songs -- depression -- that may seem "depressing" but to me always feels hopeful, because I know that pain and fear. I know those tears. And I know Ren gets back up EVERY SINGLE TIME and when he triumphs over his demons it is extraordinary! And so I believe I can do that, too.
And then here is the anthem -- Hi Ren -- as enlightening and inspiring as it is entertaining.
The boy who lived, who keeps going, who triumphs, who inspires.
