“I think I would tell my 17 year old self that the lifestyle that I was looking to get to get into with the drinking and drugs is more of a scam than anything. It's not what it seems to be. And I would tell my 17 year old self, that I could just be happy and secure with who I am and what I have, and stop searching for the person that I'm not. I would tell my 17 year old self that I'm gonna be okay. I'm gonna be okay. Just take it easy. You're gonna be okay. Keep moving forward. You're gonna be okay.”
