I live in California and I have had a very interesting life so far.

I became an addict right out of college. Since I was 22, I was fighting to overcome my disease.

I’ve had long bouts of sobriety but I’m still struggling a lot with mental and physical health problems.

For the last several years, I’ve been doing sex work. And honestly, gig work is fucking amazing! I’m working a “9 to 5” now. And we all know that’s really 8 to 5… plus an hour of commute.

I don’t want this to be my life! But I want a kid. My partner and I want to get married and put down roots.

I am terrified of how pointless and monotonous life might become if I stay in an office.
