You know Colton Haynes.
Last week, in an incredibly honest post, the actor opened up about his struggles with addiction, depression, social media, and more.
He wrote, "Throwback. I don’t want worrying about if I look hot or not on Instagram to be my legacy. I don’t want to skirt around the truth to please other people or to gain economic success. I have far more important things to say than what magazine I just shot for or what TV show I’m a part of (although I’m very thankful I still get to do what I love)."
"I no longer want to project a curated life. I get immense joy when someone comes up to me & says that my willingness to open up about depression, anxiety, alcoholism, & addiction has helped them in some way."
"I’ve struggled the past year with trying to find my voice and where I fit in & that has been the most beautiful struggle I’ve ever had to go through."
"Worrying about what time to post on social media so I can maximize my likes or being mad at myself that I don’t look the same way I did when I was addicted to pills is a complete waste of why I was put on this earth."
"I’m posting these photos to let y’all in on my truth. I’m so grateful to be where I am now (a year after these photos were taken) but, man, these times were dark."
