The only way to get better is to walk away from what you used to believe. And the person you become can’t possibly be the same as the person you were.

My victims:
Ryan, college student 1 year from graduating with honors
Ryan, the Hollywood executive and wunderkind
Ryan, director of marketing for American ApparelAll dead before 25. May they rest in pieces.
