I know somebody that skated with him during that last Huf US tour they did..maybe summer 14? And apparently he had already been diagnosed at that time but was still skating....if you think about the last few things he put out from the perspective of him knowing he was sick and possibly terminal...changes alot of things. The jenkem playlist being one example.
I was thinking about this. Dylan had a lot of time to be ready to go, to made peace with himself and with everybody out there. He was posting things randomly and then erasing it within minutes on Insta like that photo of the beach with a beatiful sunset. He caption something about "...the other side." and then he delete it.
Then the rides he was going on, that photo where AA is driving is super powerful to me and all those friends with him at home all the time. I dont know, the last couple of years the guy was just giving some vibes of...peace, again. Thats the word to me,
peace.
Fucking peace to use one of his favorite words.
It reinvigorate me a little this cause I feel he died with a smile, you know just faded away with style and grace. No regrets, no drama, no bullshit.
