he grew up in manhattan, youngest of three in a pretty wealthy family but went to public school because private school wasn’t his thing. he was originally a dare kid who would obnoxiously preach sobriety and celibacy in the hallways by handing out flyers and propaganda over how bad it was so he wasn’t the most liked guy. he made three friends in hs (which would include her) and eventually dropped the dare kid mentality once he started dating his first gf when he was 18! he waited to drink until he was 21 and now drinks more than he probably should because of repression. there’s more in the journal, sorry this is a lot of rambling
