"i can’t even really put into words what this loss means for me. i’m often asked the question, “what’s it like to be a twin?” and my response is usually, “what’s it like to NOT be a twin?”
being a twin is a very central part of my identity. it’s all i’ve known. and i’m struggling to find the words to explain what it will be like for me to live in this world without him. my best friend.

Ah, shit! He was a funny dude! Seriously, there was something about that "Welcome to Chili's" Vine. Thought it was stupid and pointless the first time, but the more I saw it…

Wait, what killed him?

There's nothing conclusive at the moment. But there might be an autopsy result specifying the cause, but not now, at the time of typing.
