Ah yes, our sunshine smile. Our lovely drummer. Our comfort person. Ashton Irwin. The one who makes our day a little better by just existing in it. Ashton has had a rough life. Having to be the father figure for his younger brother. And an older brother figure to his bandmates. Always being there for them, no matter what. He loves it- but sometimes it takes a toll. Like on any normal person. Ashton though, keeps a strong facade in front of everyone. Even his closest friends. When he’s alone in his hotel room, or in a gas station bathroom, he cracks. Smokes sometimes, lets his emotions pool up in his eyes. But never shows it publicly. Only once in a while he’ll have his leg bouncing on an interview if he’s feeling a bit overwhelmed or anxious. He thought his outlet was the drums, the band. But now? They just don’t calm him down anymore. He still loves his life and all but- our sunshine needs his own sunshine.
