After much thought and consideration…

27 06 2011

I have decided that I am going to quit blogging. I get 40 something views a day at the most. One day for some unknown reason I had 150. However, that only happened once. I am not making any money off advertisements and barely have seen any feedback regarding my blog. This is a pointless waste of my time. Between work, facebook, and homework I honestly can’t say that I have time to maintain this blog.

Thanks everyone for reading. It’s been 3 and a half years since my first post. I can readily admit that it’s been a nice ride as well as a productive means of taking out my frustrations.

The only thing I can leave you with is this…

If I look back from my first post up until now, I can see how much my life has evolved. Although I am still not perfect and will always be a little crazy, I have managed to use the past three years as building blocks to better things. I have completed my degree, won my custody battle against my mother, and become a lot more stable in the interim. Most importantly, I am gainfully employed. One of the biggest obstacles facing me this whole time was to accept the reality that stripping has to come to an end at some point. While there’s no telling what the future will bring, I hope that I find my way. I also sincerely hope all of you that have traveled this journey with me, find your way in life too. Stripper or not, life is full of twists, turns, heartbreak, accidents, surprises, and the unexpected. I still moonlight, don’t get me wrong. But now instead of laughing at getting a real job, I welcome it. I am proud of my accomplishments thus far and fortunate to avoid becoming the person I inevitably would have turned into had I continued on my path. I was able to escape the consequences that seem to come with being a full time stripper. Here I am, ten years later. No drug addiction, no pimps, and making progress in a normal life. Some of you that have been reading for a while can recall when I actually had my own pictures on here. Now I am actually worried about someone seeing them and putting my job in jeopardy. So much has changed… I have changed.

I am going to direct my time towards projects that are more productive. I hope this has been an entertaining read for all. No matter what you do for a living, some days you will feel like the customer and some days you will feel like the stripper. Don’t ever let anyone break your spirit… Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do, or what you are destined to be. Never feel bad about doing what you have to do. Remember, at the end of the day the only person you have is you. Most importantly, don’t ever stop believing in yourself.

Good luck! I just came across this blog today and the post i see is that you are giving it up. I’ll go back to the beginning and check out your posts.

2 days ago, I went to a strip club for the first time in my life (I’m 28) and I got a phone number from one of the girls. So I was “googling” that and what her intentions were. Money, friendship, or actually interested. We’ll see I guess.

Again, good luck to you!! Cheers

I just came across your blog yesterday and finished reading today. You are a very strong woman and I hope everything works out for you and your daughter. It’s nice to see that you got yourself out and tried to better yourself for you and your marriage but consequently, some things never work out as intended. Like you said, he’ll never know what he had until she’s gone. It was nice getting to know you from what I read and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Stay strong and hold on, never give up and always look forward. like a quote I like to go by, “but the fighter still remains” and you my dear will always be a true fighter. Take care and lots of love <3

Don’t stop your blog! I agree with Mel’s comments so much. You also have a great, original writing tone that leaps off the page. You should really take your creative inner self and journey further – if that doesn’t make me sound like some sort of hippy. You deserve it.
