So I went to Miami to do a hip hop competition because I won first place in New York. They flew me out to compete against another 350 people. I would then placed into the top 30 and go on to attempt to win $50,000. On the last day of the convention, I found out that I did not win the $50,000 but that's okay. I know I probably would have used it to invest in my blueprint in my business, but there will be many more opportunities at a great time out there and that a lot of major people with friends at the time of my life that truly tested me in a lot of ways. I came home and immediately that day I started school. I'm taking business school and specializing in entertainment, have to take a lot of classes. They really don't want to. But I guess it's part of the process. Kind of worried how I'm gonna juggle it all, but I think keeping busy will also keep me positive. The next day, I found out that Mac Miller had passed away. I couldn't believe it at first on the entire situation had me so freaked out. I've lost seven people in the last year, most of them toe opioid related deaths. Mac Miller was a pivotal figure in hip hop in Pittsburgh. Not gonna lie. I kind of had a huge musical crush on him. I just loved his personality so much. I thought he was super talented. He had an amazing voice. So all of my friends went down to Blue Slide Park to deejay and do a little memorial for him. If there's anything I want to touch on in this documentary, it's that addiction and depression can be two different things. Sometimes they can correlate. But I do want to say Be careful that things that you say to people but also to support people, say you're proud of them. Tell them you think that they're beautiful while they're still around to hear it. We need to stop being afraid to be weak and vulnerable and ask for help. We don't always have to be positive. We don't always have to be killing it on social media and portraying this candy coated version of ourselves. That's why I will always support artists that display their darkness as a medium through their art. And I will always support my friends who have something to say. Being a female in hip hop music in general or just on social media. Sometimes we can't really express who we truly are are downfalls our flaws or hurts and pains. We have to put up this look flown our body. We aren't listened to, but it's kind of good to see a lot of local hip hop artists supporting me, telling me they see me doing my thing. They hear me spitting. They're paying attention. When I go out and people come up to me and say, Hey, you're Lexan terrestrial, You're so talented. I love the things that you do That's what means a lot to me. It's not about how I look. It's about what I have to say. Maybe there is hope after all. And maybe I can change the way things are. I don't want to end up dead. I want to succeed. Maybe there is hope, after all, that life will always be a roller coaster, and I'm gonna have to hang on for dear ******* life.
