Think about it...

   Why is it when you find something really amazing, you don't realize it until it's gone? Like your favorite pair of jeans. You don't realize just how much you loved them until you can't wear them anymore. Or your first love. It's boring in the end, until a year or so later when you still find yourself thinking about them.
   How come smell is the strongest sense linked to memory? You smell a Christmas tree and think of the best Christmas you've ever had. Or a perfume makes you think of a loved one, or that one summer you had the greatest time. Most every time you smell something, it brings back a good memory. Why don't we link smell to bad memories?
   There are so many questions every person has and no one can really answer. I wonder if anyone will ever get their answers. I know I wonder why things happened in my past. I could sit down with people and ask why, but I fear it will only bring pain and fighting and bad feelings. Instead we bury all of it. We bury it in work, or sports, or our kids, or with bad habits.
   My family hates that I was a stripper (they don't know I am again, but I'm sure they'll soon find out). They say it's bad and a disgrace. It's not something a lady would do. I don't know about some people, but I know I've never once walked down the street and gotten scorned at for my job. No one knows what you do in your free time. I don't walk down the street and see a lawyer, automatically know it, and give him crap for letting the guilty go free. You can't tell that from looking at someone.
   As much as no one wants to hear it, I like my job. I enjoy what I do. Not the grinding on men part. Or the dealing with creeps part. But the glamour of it. The thrill of being on stage. I do have to say, the money is usually nice too. It honestly takes a strong person to do what those girls do. You can't just be anyone walking off the street. It's an entirely different world in there.
   Think about it for a minute, could you get up on a stage and be judged and graded by the opposite sex for 6 minutes at your most vulnerable? People think places of the sort are run by men and would go out of business if it weren't for the men. They also think it's degrading to the women working there and all over. Look at it from a different point of view. If it wasn't for the girls working there, the place wouldn't have customers. It wouldn't be able to even open it's doors. So, technically speaking, it's run by the ladies. If we're upset and don't want to work, we won't. In turn, not making the money, which doesn't make the club money. Making the place close down. Also, if the women felt degraded, we would have left. So it's simply a matter of opinion, and what side of the line you stand on.
