    You’re a teenage kid in your parent’s house, pretending to be tough. It’s obvious.

      I was 21 years old on Christmas Eve in 2008 when I got a call that my best friend died in Iraq. This instigated a decade and a half long bout of alcoholism that I still fight. I’d die to be a teenage kid in my parent’s house. I’ve been in the streets. What have you done?
