You know know know. You need to go go go.
God damn I hate the freakshow this has become. Water cooler talk. Bets placed. Such a sick thing. You are an amazing talent. You'll never read this, but I'm rooting for you. Your sound is distinct, and I want to hear it many years from now. But you are at that most terrifying age, 24-26; you think you're invincible, you can handle it; you won't die. But the truth is, this disease will take us at any age it wants; and when it wants you, if you don't stop, it WILL take you, to your grave or prison. For someone like you, most likely, a grave. At your age, I was *scrinches fingers* this close to the grave. And after 15 years, I haven't come back to the junk. Nor do I want to; for if I'd continued what I was doing, when I was doing it, I'd have been so long dead by now.
Don't do that to yourself, don't do it to the people who admire your work. Don't do it. There's so many ways to get high. Believe me. You just have to open your mind and heart to it, and put down the meth/crack pipe love. Put it down, please.
I love your music. I'm waiting for you to get your shit together, however long it takes, and then get back to working your gifts. You have many. Smart soulful and what an interesting voice. And you don't have to get all drugged up to have a bad girl 'edge'. No drugs are really necessary. Anyway, I'm rooting for ya.
