Me, Zach, and Billy got pretty close before he passed away. We were all living a really reckless lifestyle and continuously getting worse.
Zach went to Alabama and eventually joined the Army. I pulled out because of psychological problems caused from drugs.
Being close enough to watch the directions that Billy went into was a wake up call for me. It's possible that me or Zach could have continued to go down with him. I've watched a lot of people I was close to ruin their lives over substances. Drugs isn't true happiness.
I've learned a lot from Billy's death. I'm not the same person I was a year or even six month ago. I know Billy dying was a life-changing experience for me. I don't think the lesson is to place yourself in danger with friends that keep getting crazier, but to know that you can't spend your life partying.
wow. I had no idea he was dead. I remember the better days of him, faintly, but nonetheless I remember. All I can think to say, despite how fucked up, is I'm sure he was in very little pain. I love you, Matt. Always and forever.
