Watching this, after almost 6 years of first listening to End on a Hai & Hand Over Hand, all I can say is I'm so proud. I'm so proud of how far you've come. I can't wait for the day I get see you in concert, bawl my eyes out and scream/cry the lyrics. Im so proud of everything you've done and all the people you've helped with your music. I feel like I've grown so much since the person I was when I first listened to the 'lights are changing' part in End on a Hai. It's such an interesting thing that without this music, without you, I truly don't know how I would've kept on fighting. Hearing You Still Loved Me, it felt like it was dedicated from younger me to current me. Almost as if saying thank you for continuing to fight, for getting up each day, for finishing college, for moving away, for taking risks, for taking care of me always. And all of this to say Roland I'm so freaking thankful for your creating all this beautiful music. For giving me the motivation to continue fighting through your songs. For being the one in helping me process so much with all your music. Thank you for understanding me in a way I couldn't even understand myself. Thank you ❤

I just wanted to say that I have been so grateful to have gotten the chance to discover your music some time ago. I've been weening in and out of depression for almost a third of my life (I'm 21 now) and have pushed so many wonderful people away, as I've had this poor mindset that my presence in another's life is unneeded. It's become more and more difficult for me to socialize nowadays due to feeling like I'll just bring a negative, "energy”, for lack of better words, into other's lives. And this has kinda stopped me from truly experiencing fulfilling happiness, whether from interaction or through prior loved hobbies. Fortunately, I met the most wonderful guy at my past job last year and experienced genuine platonic love for another for what seems to be the first time. He's the first person I've come across that just exuded the gentlest warmth and sincere kindness. And nowadays, if I'm ever feeling down in the dumps, the literal mere thought of him - his gentle and warm nature - makes me feel okay, even if it's momentary. He has openly expressed himself to be a beautiful individual, and we'll always have each other's backs. He's one of the very few that I feel truly love me despite the constant struggle with normalcy I deal with. This song kind of just serves as another reminder of him, which is nice! Thank you, Mr. Faunte, for sharing a part of your life with us. You’re an incredibly beautiful being and are so deserving of all things warm and gentle in this world :)

Together with your ability to sing the exact words I felt and finding people I can share your music with who also resonate with them, I started to feel a little less alone in this world.

The effort and love behind this work is extraordinary, and I’m so so happy to see how much you’ve evolved through the years. When I listened to hand over hand for the first time, I was with a person I loved (still) so much. It became one of our songs, and we both listened to it together. Now, years later, and almost over that relationship, I listened to this, and almost drowned myself in tears. Brought me so much memories. I can never thank you enough for sharing your music Roland, it has made this world, at least for me, a much better place.

I could never repay the way she loved me still despite everything, despite me dragging her down my void. I hope she's doing better now like how I imagined it to be without me. There's a big chance she sees this comment as I have shared Roland Fuente to her to listen to. Which makes me kind of afraid but fck it I need this out of my chest.

@@haneenmohamed2019 Hey. Let me try to get into this one piece at a time. The appearance issue isn’t something I know about unless it’s weight gain or Tardive dyskinesia but the memory issue is something I'm very familiar with. I had brain fog as a medication side effect that affected both my short term and long term memory. I would stop in the middle of sentences regularly and have no idea where to start. I left stoves and ovens on forgetting I was setting up to cook something, forget I was on the phone with someone and just start doing something else, and even sometimes forget how to drive home even from short distances away. All of these things went away when I found the right medicines. I don't know if you're taking antipsychotics but those are what did it to me but when I tried my 4th one, Seroquel (after zyprexa, risperdal, and Latuda), I was able to get the positive effects while significantly limiting the negative ones. It sounds like you’ve tried a lot of medicines so far and I’m not sure what the time period is but I probably took between 8 or 9 before finding the ones that worked. It’s very unlikely that there isn’t a med combo out there that will be more tolerable than the one you currently have. I know it sucks to just keep trying but it really is our best option. In terms of you being on 4, I’m on 7. But my life is good and that’s what matters. I also used to absolutely hate that I had to carry a giant bag of pills around everywhere I went but once they started really working and I was getting my life back I couldn’t have cared any less and at this point I worship them. It’s important to remember that the brain is infinitely more complex than the rest of our organs so treating it is also much more complex. It’s trial and error and pure pain in the meantime as you know but that’s our reality and we have to face it with bravery. I also 100% get the issue of comparison with your peers. I used to feel like I was walking hand in hand with all my friends towards this bright beautiful future and then someone came and tapped me on the shoulder and said “you don’t belong here” then led me to a dark room full of miserable people and I was stuck there as I watched my friends get further and further away. Try to remember that you don’t know everything about them and the perfect nature of their lives that you project onto them is almost definitely not true. And even if it was it wouldn’t matter because your story isn’t over yet. Also, getting into medical school is an unbelievable accomplishment that most people would envy, maybe some other miserable person who couldn’t get accepted is looking at your life thinking “man he’s got it all figured out.” In terms of medical school I know you can take a leave of absence and that seems like something you should really consider. I failed out of college my sophomore year and thought it was going to ruin my life. I took the time to focus on my health, got myself in order, and came back to finish on time by overloading credits. I know med school is a lonely and brutal place so if you feel like you can’t handle it right now that’s probably because you can’t handle it right now. There is NO shame in that. If someone is running a marathon and breaks their ankle, everyone would tell them to stop running. Other people might not be able to see your injury right now but you and I both know it’s there. Take some time to heal up and then get back into the race. You can do this.
