My Sugar Daddy was a Predator
Trigger Warning: Child Abuse A few years ago, I was in a bad place in several different areas of my life. I was living with an extremely emotionally abusive partner, my day job was not giving the overtime that was previously promised, and I was coping by drinking an asinine amount of alcohol. As you can imagine, not getting the hours I wanted meant that my finances were in turmoil, and I needed to act fast. So, I came out of retirement from exotic dancing from a year hiatus.

My Secret Superpower Self-Compassion
I’m at the Carl Jung Institute in Houston, Texas. I love psychology and have been drawn to it since college. How the mind works fascinate me and gives me tools of how to live. One of the greatest lessons I was ever taught in my life was that you couldn’t control other people or the world, but you can manage your reaction to them.

So...For Now I'm Staying
I've been struggling with Identity Crisis and a desire to leave for awhile now. But...as such things go, one can only hem and haw for so long. One can only metaphorically be Notre Dame for so long. Life the cold heartless bitch that she is...eventually forces you to pick or create a new side and declare you Conference Affiliation if you will. If you don't know who your family is and don't declare or create your own, you're always going to be lost and confused.

BEING A VIRGIN AND SAVING MYSELF FOR MARRIAGE AT 21.
Sexual intercourse. Growing up as a kid in an African household, sex education was not as popular as it is right now. Its actually in Africa that you'll notice a family with lots of children but you'll never spot the parents showing any kind of displays of affection. However, as years went by, it got better due to the ability to access information online.

You Don't Own Me
I don't belong to him, he treats me like a piece of meat, something he can buy, chew up and spit out whenever he pleases. I am not property, I am not something to be owned, nor will I allow him to treat me as such anymore. The morning light breaks through the blinds, I stare outside, slightly blinded by the brightness, but I don't care. I haven't cared for much of anything for some time now, I can't remember exactly when it happened... Lie. I can tell you exactly when it all changed.

Writing Saved my Life
If I tell you that I am a Scorpio sun, Aquarius moon, Capricorn rising, does that bring a soft 'aaahh' to your lips? What if I tell you that according to a medium I spoke with recently all my chakras are blocked or misaligned and that my third eye has 'stuck' in the process of opening. What about if I tell you that I am and have been for over ten years an emotionally avoidant, disassociative, suicidal depressive?

Collection of the Hopes & Fears
I am 24 years old and I have no clue what to do with my life. I have no purpose. Am I supposed to at my age? By now many of my peers have five affiliate marketing business, sipping bobo tea and driving around in their too-difficult-to-sit-down cars living the entrepreneur lifestyle. The other half of my peers could be hustling their way through another year of grunt work, paperclips and say-it-don't-spray-it teachers.
