Expect raw honesty, a touch of rage, and a reminder that walking away doesn’t make you cold — it makes you free.    Highlights:   The untold origin of Passive and its link to Nine Inch Nails   Emotional and lyrical dissection through Lex’s fearless lens   A powerful reflection on grief, betrayal, and healing without apology      “Don’t be passive — be aware.”
