The worst lies, the most degrading lies of all, are the ones we tell ourselves. I read this at a time in my life when I had learned not to feel. I had learned the lies, and how to build the wall so that no one would know the real me. I kept everyone out. I had entered the world of prostitution.
Prostitution is a very educational field.
I d like to share with you what I learned from this so-called occupation. Not the part everyone sees, but the part I dared not show anyone, mostly myself. In prostitution, I felt the loss of power over my own life. I learned about degradation, sadness, anger, hurt, loneliness, and fear. I had no self-esteem.
