    Just the fact that this kid had so many people to text. I love you too, and the fact that he had people throw him a party to cheer him up should’ve shown him that there is plenty of people that care about him. I don’t know. I can definitely see that he was sad about stuff. I can certainly relate. I don’t necessarily think he’s making it. I think a lot of his assumption because he really doesn’t remember.

    I just wanna say Ian is not the best interviewer in the world. He’s not the worst but he’s somewhat unprepared and I don’t know about you guys, but I would really like a full in-depth story like what happened from the first memory to being arrested and ask her and all that stuff,what’s up. There’s a lot of people on here saying a lot of stuff and they don’t know what happened to this kid. I mean, he could be holding a lot of stuff back on here, you know? and I just want to add which one is it was it during the 90s you took the drugs or the 2000 because it makes a difference bro you don’t remember half your story or when half your story takes place. I understand the medication‘s make you forget a lot of stuffyou know we’re gonna have to form some sort of coherent timeline.
