This conversation is with my dear friend Ryan Santos. Rightfully so, Ryan has the words "always smiling" tattooed on his wrists, and hanging with him has always been a great resource for joy in my life because of this outward smiling attitude towards other people. Ryan and I speak about our history working together in the tuxedo rental business, driving over graves, music, I describe my past use of SSRI and anti-depressant drugs, we open up to each other about our experiences with depression and suicidal thoughts, we discuss obstacles in current society, as well as touch on some experiences surrounding drugs and substances such as MDMA, Marijuana and psychedelics. I'm grateful for Ryans views towards life, because it inspires others to be better just by being around him. His contagious love is quite the gift to catch.
