    At this point in life of course it didnt pan out the way I thought. When I inivisioned my life at the "mature" age of 16. I thought I was going to be done with my university degree by now (ha!) and be marriedd to a studly dark haired tall sexy man (double ha!).

    Things are different but these unforseen roads are what shape us in life.

    My life is pretty awesome, actually. I never thought I would find a good man until way after I was done dancing, and I am in the sweetest relationship ever and I never see us breaking up.

    I'm way behind as far as school/real job stuff goes, but that will come with time and I'm happy I didn't push through school and am not in a job I hate.

    Nothing has turned out the way I thought it would. Every time I think life is going one way, it comes from the other direction, and lets me know that you can't really choose your fate. But I am actually somewhat happy with where I am, although if I had my say things would be quite different.

    My life feels as though it's in shambles right now, but when I consider other people's lives that are similar to mine, I don't think they're doing that bad. When I was in high school, I could not even conceive of being 25, almost 26 years old, but I think that I probably guessed that I'd be doing something amazing by now, saving starving babies and writing bestsellers and singlehandedly preventing the AIDS pandemic. I justify this to myself, in part, with the whole life-expectancy thing; I'll likely live to be 85 or 90, and I can write bestsellers when I'm osteoporitic (sp?) and less inclined to run around, and I can prevent AIDS when I have the necessary education and training. I'll admit that my justification is not the most proactive attitude to have, but I'm working on that. I certainly don't want to feel like a have a fail life forever.

    I am happy and all my dreams are within reach. I rarely discuss this because I'm SO afraid I will jinx myself. I really had to go through Hell before I got to Heaven- the saying is true! Also..."be careful what you wish for....You just might get it!"

    Hmm....well on one hand, I love my boyfriend very much and we've lived together for a year now and are talking marriage, so that's positive. I love my two puppie babies. I love my friends.

    That said, financially, I am not AT ALL where I want to be. Despite having my college degree (which is a BFA in dance, so basically I might as well not have one) I have been unsuccessful in finding a day job. Well, I guess the thing is I don't want a day job. I love this industry but I am not making the money I used to because I am back in Milwaukee, and umm, this isn't exactly the land of unlimited possibilities I got used to working in Vegas for so many years. I am just trying to find a career path, because right now I'm just sort of floating....But I want to do something I want to do, be my own boss....

    I love my life. Not sure if it's where I thought I'd be. At almost 27, I've been dancing since I was 18, and am just starting school now. I've been through a lot and I don't have any specific ideas of where I have to be, but I'd like to get a degree and continue to learn and better myself and be a great friend and have great friends(which I do now). I am more financially secure than I've been in the past because I've finally started to develop work ethic, and am happier with myself than I've ever been. So, yes, I'm happy.

    Also, I feel less limited now that I'm living my life for only myself. No controlling boyfriends, or letting my family control me. Caring about what others think becomes less and less important. Plus, because I don't have specific goals like having children by a certain age I feel the options are endless.

    Lol, I turned 51 today making it about 25 years since my life veered hopelessly of course and down a side road that I had never even imagined...

    Regrets? Sure anyone who has lived and loved has them anyone who says that they don't is lying...

    Would I do anything differently? Why yes, yes I would...but it doesn't work that way...

    Happy? For the most part yeah. Life is a journey, not a destination. I'm enjoying the journey.

    My life is not really the way I had envisioned. I never saw myself as married and a mother at 22. I love my little girl and wouldn't trade her for anything!! She was the best surprise ever, but I wish I could've been more prepared for her sake. As for the husband, you can read about that on here http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=125040

    No. I thought I'd be an attorney on the way to making partner at a top international firm, married with a kid at this point. "Having it all" 80's style, like the shoulder-padded, power-suited super-women I saw on TV as a little girl.

    Instead I'm single, mostly ok with it, no kids yet, and happily doing charity work at home and abroad for the time being.

    But I've traveled all over the world and done, seen and experienced things I never could've even fathomed as a smart-ass (and smart) teenager. I've experienced the luxury of freedom and been grateful for it in a way I can barely express.

    Book smarts are great, but life experience combined with it makes it so much richer.

    Good luck with all that.

    Just so many posts from VS in recent months talking shit about strippers and certainly any other kinds of sex workers.

    But there was a recent thread where she just basically trashed stripping, got all butthurt when she got pwnd by other SW members, made a Drama Llama "I'm leaving" thread and within hours (perhaps record time even by SW Drama Llama standards) came back.

    That's where it comes from.

    Nothing in my life is what I wanted it to be. I'm single....no kids (I wanted my first by 25.....I'm 25 now)....I'm broke and still living with my parents....I have no job besides dancing and I have no college degree.....also, I'm in debt. So my life sucks right now.

    I like that. My life so far has been one big journey. To others my life would seem hard but for me it seems just right. I a single 24 year old mother of 3 children and I am basically cool with it. I just roll with it because I know it could be worse. I havent finished school yet but I have a decent job and hopefully I will find a nice guy to settle down with.

    When I was younger I thought I wanted to be a physical therapist move to TX and work with professional athletes. Be married by my late 20's and start having babies by 30. But hey it didn't turn out that way.

    No it has not and I am very grateful for it. I could never have imagined in my entire life that my best years have been the last two from the age of 40!

    I have realised I will probably never find a soul mate or one person who can rock my mind, body and soul. I have found that you can have the best chemistry with someone who does not have to be the same person who fascinates your mind or steals your heart. Perhaps a very late realisation in life but it has made my world a happier place.

    I think if you truly live you will always have regrets on the sliding doors of life and as an incorrigible romantic, I regret that I gave up on my dream of finding love. Having said that I have been a very blessed human with great friends, a job I love and a hobby which has turned into a very successful business. I also have a very carefree existance as I realised about two years ago that there is a good chance I may never have to pay for kids to go through school or Uni so I can spend it on lap dances and on myself.

    I love my life. The biggest part about it is my husband, I can't believe we got married so young and it totally worked. In hindsight I think we were stupid for getting married for so young. On the other hand I think I am underestimating myself back then and I did know we were ready and he was the one. Some people go their whole lives looking for what we have and I am thankful for every single day I get to spend with him.

    Mine is what I imagined it being thus far. I've made it a point to do all the crazy stuff I "had" to do like runaway, strip, run off and get a secrete boob job blah blah. I've kindda ran out of ideas though.

    Now I've turned to accomplishing financial goals but my depression is still alive and kicken so it's really hard to stay positive or leave the house at all. I think I will regret doing NOTHING in my college years, not going to one party or making one friend here but right now I'm indifferent.

    I don't really have any ideas for my future. No real idea of want I want to be profession wise and I can't even decide if I want to have kids. It's pretty much all an open book.

    I never really had any set plans for my future as a teenager, just kind of flow through life, which I feel like I've been doing anyway. The only thing I regret is not finishing community college yet(I only have two more classes left, so I plan to finish within a year) but at least I have a license in Aesthetics so I have something to get myself ahead with.

    I had always wanted to travel a lot and have been doing that although not as much as I wanted to.
