    Default Why I am Thankful

    So, we need a little bit more positive threads. So I will start..

    I am thankful for camming. It has changed my life drastically. I got hired yesterday morning as a housekeeper for a run down hotel. I quit after one day of no breaks and shoddy management. I'm thankful sometimes I can just cam and film clips and get what I could earn at min. wage doing hard cleaning. I know camming has its downs lately but I am just trying to post my own thankfulness and hopefully we can all post things we're thankful for today.

    Camming can be ridiculously good for the self esteem. Being worshiped, admired and sexualized day in and day out can get tedious but sometimes I get very earnest customers who really seem to appreciate me, and I love that.

    There are some very nice perks and tips.

    It allows women to do what has always worked for some of us- to sell our sexuality to provide and be independent. But this way, it's so much less dangerous (on average at least) than having to deal with clients face to face.
    G-spot rocks the G-spot.

    I am thankful for camming because it allows me to save up for a car while I work from home. I have higher self esteem than I ever have in my life and a higher sense of self worth. I love that I can work fewer hours and spend more time with my six animals (yes, six, haha). But mostly I'm thankful for camming because even when it seems slow, it can always turn around. It also has helped me realize how interested I am in sex from an academic stand point (particularly sex culture) and I think I may be interested in that as a career post-camming.

    Thank you for this thread. It's easy to forget the good parts of camming. I'm thankful for camming because I'm my own boss and I set my own rates. I'm also grateful because I have met a lot of really amazing friends from camming.

    I love camming because it is like pizza, even when it is "bad" it is still pretty damn good. No commute, no one but me to report to, I do it whenever I feel like it, I don't have to let someone know if I won't make it, even if I don't make my daily goal I still made more in a few hours than some people make in a day and I can justify getting pedicures all the time (for the feet guys, ya? Um hmm...)
    I like that my laptop is an ATM, just slap on some Chanel gloss and a boob shirt and KACHING. Unlimited blessings flow and let's face it, we have the best stories when we hang out with our friends. Who can top camgirl stories? ;-)

    Camming...love it. But I am thankful this week for clips, which came from camming, because while on holiday spending lots of money I have made money without having to be anywhere for any amount of time. I just made $47 while I was drinking a beer in the sun...

    I have had my issues the past few weeks, but I AM thankful for camming because it's allowed me a decent income without working so much. Just a year ago I was juggling 2 jobs and barely getting by. In the past I've even worked 3 jobs and barely scraped by. It's afforded me the attitude of "working smarter, not harder." It also allows me to be flexible in my schedule so when issues come up with my son I'm available, as well as begin school this October. In the past I've worried about maintaining income while doing schooling, but with camming I'll be able to do it

    I also like a lot of my regulars. I really do. For every one dbag, there's 2-3 cool guys that make dealing with the d's easier. For instance my "sissy boy". He came in this morning and I ended up in a half hour exclusive with him just shooting the breeze.

    I'm thankful that I am valued for my talents and personality quirks. Having an abnormally long tongue, holding my pee all day because I hate public bathrooms, always having (as my mother would say) "Ghetto Fabulous" nails, having an abnormally large shoe collection, my height/weight/general figure... These have been things I've been made fun of for over the course of my entire childhood, adolescence, and through two marriages. I finally have validation for my choices, sense of style, and general awesomeness. I'm also thankful for the attitude change on my part. I went from trying to please everyone to telling everyone to shove it up their ass. I've probably lost some relationships due to this, but I know I've gained a whole hell of a lot more respect for myself.

    I'm also thankful I have fans that like keeping me happy. paying my rent, for my nails, a down payment on a car, or even saying i need to get my dogs groomed and having a $200 gc show up in my inbox... yeah, that's rather nice and a luxury I haven't quite become accustom to. I am extremely thankful for that.

    I am thankful for the wonderful ladies here at Stripperweb I am trying to get back into the whole camming/PSO and it had been going horribly until today. I received some solid advice and help over the last few weeks and seen a turnaround this morning. So, I am thankful for this forum and the "luck" I've had today.

    I am thankful for finding camming and making it my "full time" job - it has made a much, much better person in so many ways. It has made me look at men in a much different way, it has made me take care of my body better than I ever had before (working out, eating clean, etc), it has given me the chance to get out of my parents house and start my independent life - living on my own, making my own rules... This job is really a dream job. And I am so thankfull for this site... You guys, you guys are just so AMAZING. I think I have never met people like all of you here... You are here to help, you make me laugh with your funny posts, you help me with advice and... You all just make me so happy and I feel loved. Camming is the best thing that ever happend to me. It has made me grow up and realize how life is not pink at all... It has all shades possible. It's hard, it's rough, it's ruthless... But still, I've never been happier in my entire life. I am making my dreams come true and I do what I really love to do - and that is camming. I think I cannot find words to describe how thankful and lucky I am for doing this... I want everyone to feel the way I do... It's just, it's just a dream come true...

    I am SO thankful for camming in SO many ways! It gave me the confidence and financial freedom to leave my miserable marriage in a shit town, move to LA, get a job in a dungeon so I could learn to be a professional Dominatrix, get an apartment near the beach, lease a NEW Prius...

    In short, camming has helped me COMPLETELY turn my life around. Before I was depressed and bored. Now I live an amazingly blessed life! I'm soaking up the beach and the sun, having some fun in the city with CRAZY celebrity run-ins, and most importantly, I'm finally a fully independent adult! I get to make my own schedule and have a blast performing on webcam and doing Dominatrix work at the dungeon. And did I mention that I REALLY LOVE LA!!! <3

    Thank you, camming!! <3

    I'm thankful that this job lets me and my husband stay home with our kids (and each other). It's a huge self esteem boost. I've met some great people. I can sit comfortably in my own room, on my own time, with a drink and a deck of cards and make a living just chatting. And even on nights when it's really slow and I get discouraged I think "Hey, you still made $15/$20 an hour. That's huge." I really do love my job.

    I am thankful because I can support myself and my two darling cats.
    I can buy organic biologic food and stay healthy.
    I have all the time to take care of my health and body; eating healthy, preparing my own healthy meals, and going to the gym everyday.
    I can look the way I want(I just love make-up, but it surerly woudnt be appoved in a regular job. I love the over the top glam look & getting all dolled up
    Having time to spend with my cats and to read books and do whatever the hell I like, bec I only have to work a couple of houres a day and still make enough to life from. If I wanted I can even work a couple of days and take the rest off but I like money to much XD
    It learned me to: respect myself, value myself, stand my ground, learned to say "no", having boundaries, respect my body
    still learning to let stress go, being less perfectionistic, having a more healthy bodyimage of myself, and that a smile and a positive energy is more powerfull and more beautifull than having the most beautifull makeup on

    I'm thankful that I am free of the corporate world, and all of its BS!
    That with camming I can relax about my body weight,
    and actually have people 'pay' me to eat!
    Since I live in a city that admires size '0' girls, and people with extreme wealth, camming has shown me the other side of the coin.
    Love being home, and being able to reach people all over the world that appreciate me.

    I am thankful for camming because I can work 20 hours per week and make more than I would at my retail job in 4 months. And I can work around my class schedule and I do not have to ask for finals week off, or worry about being scheduled from 1-11 pm on a Sunday night and then have to be up early for class Monday morning at 8 am. If I need more time off to study or work on a project, I can do it.

    Camming allows me to keep my ~3.7 GPA while not only allowing me to pay all my living expenses, but to also live better than most kids my age. And I can save up for major purchases and make it happen in a few months~to a year and not in YEARS.
