Julia Drake “I don’t know what your going through but I know how much u meant to Nick Stockburger and I know it’s probably breaking his heart watching u go through this. U know more than anyone he knows the pain your going through and he would want u to embrace life and not feel or go through what he did and what u are. We all do and feel things in the moment, but we can’t go back in time, although we wish we could but in those times remember him and how much u mean to him and live the life u know he would want u to, no matter how hard or impossible it feels. Learn from him James and keep your head up. I know it’s easier said than done but it’s a stepping stone.”

“People think depression is a joke, and it’s not. It literally destroys lives. I don’t eat, I don’t sleep, I developed old habits I thought I left behind depression literally eats you alive from the inside and people say ” oh get over it, it’s not bad” do y’all know what it’s like to want to die every day? No, you don’t. Don’t tell me its easy, it’ll be okay, etc. cause it won’t be until I can get passed this. So from now on everyone just leave me alone unless I hit you up cause chances are I won’t wanna talk to you unless you a certain few people and they know who they are.”
