This time of year always makes me think of Malibu Beach and whenever I see these photos from the years I spent in and out of Hollywood, it’s tempting to believe them — but the reality is, those were some of the saddest, loneliest times of my entire life. I look at these beautiful pictures of me now and cringe.

Beachfront mansions and fancy clothes mean nothing without kindness around — and money and fame are useless without love.

The end.
