Almost a year ago today I was busy doing the work of a prostitute.
And when I look back on how i felt one year ago…
I wish there were words to tell God how grateful I am. I’m a firm believer in God, those of you who know me know about my faith; And I believe God gives us opportunities and blessings. He isn’t sitting up there laughing at our plights and our troubles – He’s waiting for us to accept His help.
365 days ago I decided I would – and I’ve never felt better about myself.
For my one year anniversary, I want to ask you all one thing – If you or someone you know is considering (or is) working in the sex industry, I only ask you to consider your life – are there any other options you’re ignoring? Could you work at a fast food joint for a while and put resumes into other jobs? Could you go back to school? Could you ask family to lend you the money you need right now?
When pressed for honesty, I have to tell you, after working in the sex industry off and on for 8 years (5 solid this last round), I would do anything before I would ever work as a phone sex operator, text sex, cam sex, or pornographic movie “actress.” I mean it… literally anything. I’d panhandle on a street, I’d clean toilets, I’d flip burgers – whatever it took to pay my bills.
I’m not judging you, I just want you to know there are options.
Thank God for 365, and here’s looking at 365 x a lifetime.
