Hey all
I've been a lurker of SW for quite a few years now, this is my second account on here (forgot the old one) but I wasn't really known on here at all. I'm more of a shy introverted weirdo lol. Anyways, I first started sex work as a stripper but hated it so it only lasted a couple months. Then I started working at a massage place where I made a killing and fell in love with sex work! I went indy just so I could work on my time and keep all the money and loved it even more. At that point I was pretty much an escort but I still liked starting off each session with a massage to calm my nerves and assess the client further. I started working for this place where bodywork was still a big focus but I was naive and had no clue that they were being watched by the feds..I hope I don't regret opening up about this because its a very sensitive subject but it might be nice knowing I'm not alone on here. I became swept up in the mess and was arrested and (because I was terrified and again, very stupid) I took a plea deal and am now a felon for life. My ex was threatening to take my daughter away which was the biggest reason why I took a plea deal instead of going to trial. I've never been in trouble before so this was such a shock. I wish I had done things differently but I cant change a damn thing so I might as well try to live my life the best I can. I cant get a job, rent an apartment (one that isn't a shithole for other criminals) or even volunteer at my daughters school. Its coming up on 5 years since I was convicted and I am still struggling. After the arrest I continued to escort because I still had bills but I was extremely selective and careful. I wasn't stupid when it came to escorting work, I knew what I was doing but working for that fucking place was what fucked shit up. I no longer escort (except a long time client I see every few months). I do text and camming work now because its just safer. I am still a total noob with camming, its nothing like escorting obviously so its been hard to adjust. I recently graduated from college and am hoping I can start a new vanilla career which will eventually turn into my own business and working for myself. Sex work will always be something I love, it has always felt like I belong here. I honestly have considered recently getting back into escorting to supplement my income because financially I am really struggling. I just don't know what to do to make fast money. I'm also dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety from an emotionally abusive relationship that destroyed me and I am just trying to keep my head above the water so I can be successful and happy some day. Gah..I feel like I opened up way too much and wrote a damn novel but this is me..:-\
