And I remember in Greece a couple months ago before Liam passed away, we were in Greece and he was posting on his Snapchat and he was having one of those days where he woke up and he wasn't in the best headspace. And I said to him, all right, get dressed. We're going to the beach. We're in Greece. It's 80 degree, 90 degree weather. Why are we in the hotel room? We're going to the beach.

He didn't want to go to the beach. He said to me, I don't want to. I want to stay in the hotel room. And I remember saying to him, no, we're going to the beach. It's a five minute walk. And then if you want to come back to the hotel room, we'll come back to the hotel room after. Let's just get out for even 30 minutes. Let's go. So we go to the beach and he's posting these Snapchat stories.

He didn't want to go to the beach. He said to me, I don't want to. I want to stay in the hotel room. And I remember saying to him, no, we're going to the beach. It's a five minute walk.

So we go to the beach and he's posting these Snapchat stories.

And in a way, he's kind of joking. He's posting these videos and... pictures, he's kind of joking saying like, you know, my girlfriend dragged me to the beach. I don't want to be here. But part of him was being serious. And I remember when he put that out, I was, I actually, the next day received a lot of hate from that because the fan base don't know what goes on behind closed doors. So

And they took it as in, I forced Liam out of the house. I forced him to do things he doesn't want to do. Like he didn't want to go to the beach, but his girlfriend's dragging him to the beach. But I just did it to help better his headspace that day. And at the end of the day, we had a great time at the beach. We did. And we ended up getting lunch after.

We made a whole day out of it instead of just sitting in the hotel room all day. And once again, I knew that day we succeeded. It was at times a lot for me. And I... I'm not a professional. I never was. And I am so young, and I was so young at the time. And I really just tried to do everything that I could.

And I think one thing that people need to realize is that you cannot fix somebody, and you cannot cure somebody. They could really only do it themselves. Um, I think that's one thing back to what I was saying earlier that I just kind of was like, why can, you know, why does he have to do this? Like, can't he just stop or, oh, I'm going to run in and be the big hero.

He's going to, you know, he's going to, I'm going to save the day. But at the end of the day, you cannot cure somebody, but you can, you can help them. You can support them through their better days, their worst days always, but you can't cure somebody. And I think that's one thing that a lot of people don't realize in addiction that you and mental health, you can't cure somebody. Yeah.

He's going to, you know, he's going to, I'm going to save the day. But at the end of the day, you cannot cure somebody, but you can, you can help them. You can support them through their better days, their worst days always, but you can't cure somebody. And I think that's one thing that a lot of people don't realize in addiction that you and mental health, you can't cure somebody. Yeah.

Exactly. You couldn't have worded it better, yeah.

Exactly. You couldn't have worded it better, yeah.

Yeah. And I think something like that too, you have to, in order to help and care for somebody else, you have to not forget to care about yourself. And that's one thing I think I at times was kind of forgetting to do, or, you know, a lot of people could probably relate to that if they're in a similar situation and you have to be able to care and better yourself as well.

You can't just let yourself forget about yourself. You need to make sure that you care about yourself as well. And that other person, of course, both.

You can't just let yourself forget about yourself. You need to make sure that you care about yourself as well. And that other person, of course, both.

It was more so positive than it was negative. I think he made, like you said before, a lot of, he would take five steps forwards and then three steps backwards. It would be kind of one of those things. He was a very strong, strong person.
