This site is my fucking jam right now. I am absolutely loving the idea and execution. Essentially, you can either “check” your own baggage, or “carry” someone else’s. To “check” it, you anonymously write your problems and wait for a response, which comes in the form of a song and a small (optional) message. Or to carry it, you read someone’s problem, and choose a song you want to send them, along with some words of wisdom/positivity. I’ve just sent like 5 of them. I am LOVING this. I checked something as well, and can’t wait to see if I get a response. :)

Why is this so beautiful? ;_;

Ok this websites whole concept is really amazing (and hopefully it hasn’t been abused too much). I gave a bunch of people songs and encouragement (they can only get one song, so choose wisely!) and debated wether or not to check some baggage myself, but I’m really glad I did!

I put a little blurb up, and someone sent me the perfect song and it was such a “holy shit the internet can be so cool sometimes” moment. Whoever you are, anonymous songster, thank you!

 I’ve used it already. I love it. It makes me feel like an anonymous benefactor. Sometimes I want to leave contact info, but I realize that would be impolitic. I write my thoughts to people who are feeling down and hope they feel better.
