Day 83 Sobriety: Unveiling Past with Ren's 'Violet's Tale' | Journey of Identity and Survival

@RenMakesMusic
On Day 83 of my sobriety, as I dive into Ren's 'Violet's Tale,' the third track in his poignant series, I find myself reflecting deeply on my own past struggles and the complex journey of identity. Before the music, I share a powerful personal story from 2007, when the unresolved questions of my adoption drove me to make a life-altering decision—to sell everything I could and buy a ticket to Sri Lanka, seeking answers and a connection to my roots.

This quest for identity has been a recurring theme in my life, filled with high stakes and intense emotions. Selling cannabis to fund my travels was a desperate move, dictated by an overwhelming need to find out who I was beyond the life I knew. Now, living in Sri Lanka under drastically different circumstances, I'm confronted daily with the choices of my past and their consequences.

Ren's 'Violet's Tale' stirs up memories of a former relationship with someone who, like the character Violet, endured unimaginable hardships. Her story of survival against the backdrop of abuse and exploitation echoes through the haunting lyrics, reminding me of our shared past and the uncertain fate she now faces.

As this track plays, it not only brings the past vividly back to life but also highlights the ongoing struggle many face in silence. Today's video is not just a reaction, but a catharsis—a moment to acknowledge the deep scars we carry and the continuous journey toward healing.

Join me as we explore these heavy yet critical themes, finding solace in the music and shared experiences that bind us. Thank you for being part of this journey, where every song, every story adds layers to our understanding and empathy.
