Judging a Person on Impressions and Appearance
When I was gothic, I tried to convince people that Christians could be good people despite how they may look. Strangely enough I ended up shifting out of Christianity after I’d turned goth, but that’s another story.
Now that I am a sex worker, I am sort of doing the same thing. When I was nude modeling and a model friend told me that made a sex worker I was appalled, but the longer I kept modeling and taking my career to new levels: I knew they were right.
I do something somewhat typically undesirable for my job, but I go around radiating such sweetness innocence, love, and kindness. I feel like I’m a light worker and I’m on a good path, spreading my lightheartedness and happiness into the work I produce. Most of my work is not sex work, but most of my lucrative work is at least a bit sexual in nature for some people. I feel like I’m able to bring something different because I use my whole authentic self in the work I create. I didn’t have the same mission that I first tried to employ as a goth teenager, but I feel like I may be accomplishing a similar act every day: doing good things in the world and breaking some stereotypes.
What about you? Do you find you dress a certain way to give an impression yet don’t typically reflect that in your actions?
