Her music gets me through anything I'm going through, hopefully it can do the same for her. A woman is the only one that owns her vagina, and she can give it to whom ever she wants. Only a rapist tries to control a woman's vagina. The Truth must be a rapist.

She almost took her life and left her daughter a decision you decided to make it. I am not judging cause that isn't my job but it was a very stupid and selfish decision.
