I think the saddest thing is seeing how far removed I am from him and even I said something THIS MORNING and saw him as a KID and a HUMAN. This is very heavy and sad. I really hope people get help and LISTEN to people who love you.

Peep was the nicest person. hanging out with him, talking to him about music, the song ideas we were going to do together and touring was so amazing. Everyone will miss you man @Lilpeep
