Many women in this profession
began when they were young and remained in it for a while. Soon, it
becomes all that you know. You become good at it; which makes you feel
secure there now. You have now become comfortable. You have entered
a difficult stage. A good friend once said to me, 'the only reason that
you don't think that the job harms you emotionally/mentally anymore
is because you have grown used to it. You don't feel the damage anymore
because you are numb to it.' This is true of many women.
Remember the fear that you had
when you first began working? You conquered it. You got to look at yourself
in the mirror and honestly say, 'I've come a long way baby!' If you
could bring yourself to have the strength to prostitute, you can do
anything. It all comes down to how much you want it. Don't be ashamed
of what you've done; don't beat youself up over it. You made a decission,
you did it then and you are making another decission now. To begin a
new life.
Once you walk away, do it forever.
Don't use prostitution as a fall back. Take the logic, street smarts
and survival skills you've learnt and move on to something better and
more self fulfilling. If things don't go exactly as planned, don't give
up. But if you do fall back into the business, don't do it because it
was the easier way out. The convinient solutions are not always the
best ones. Think of the things to gain. Use the scales again. Then once
you have walked away, you can finally find forgiveness for yourself
and hold your head high knowing that you've made it. Not many can say
that!
