In this reflective episode of I Talk To Myself Sometimes, we revisit Faith Evans’ “Soon As I Get Home” (1995) — a timeless R&B ballad that explores loyalty, longing, and the emotional toll of waiting for reciprocity in love. Through the lens of emotional healing and Black women’s experiences with devotion, this episode unpacks how waiting can transform from tenderness into quiet exhaustion — and what it really means to come home to yourself.
