can i have one of you fine gentleman put my bags on the bus for me?

i can understand why a lot of people are hesitant about therapy.

r&b creates magic within me.
it can make me happy,
emotional,
horny,
or heal my broken heart.
when my soul is aching,
a good r&b mix-tape can do just that.
i’ve been feeling really out of it lately,
but my soul urged me to do something i haven’t done in a while…
