“I’m just Ryke Meadows now.” It took me about ten years to settle with this decision. I’ve always wanted to change my first name, to disassociate from my dad. To become more of the person I am and less like the person he wanted me to be. Like all things attached to Jonathan, he never made it fucking easy for me. My inheritance and my trust fund are tied to a simple stipulation. I couldn’t legally change my first name without losing both.
