A Plus Point...
Just re-reading some of my stuff that I'd written since Sunday...aka, 'The Day Of The Flood'..
...and, I think it hit me...just why I was fine with everything.
Lots of reasons, of course. To bring those new up to speed, I've hooked for 11 years - since leaving school - and had a pimp, worked a brothel and enjoyed that. The pimp I had made us work, occasionally, the streets...didn't love that. Big fall-out with that pimp, which led to a breakaway group. Having to work the streets to afford a new brothel for us, didn't like it but needs must, and then continued brothel work. My new pimp and old pimp don't get on, an likewise both sets of girls.
...then, Covid happened, had to work the streets to keep getting paid, didn't enjoy that, then all ok again and back to brothel. Got that? Cool. Let's continue...
So, we had a flood in the brothel. Brothel's out of commission for a few weeks, so having to work the streets...only, this time...
It's ok.
So...I figured...a) I'm older, wiser and possibly un-phased by all the drama...b) I'm less embarrassed about people that I know knowing I'm a prostitute...and, probably, c) that both sets of girls from our respective pimps actually got along.
Being in the brothel, I'm kinda secluded from it all. After all, I was a major reason so many defected to the new pimp. So that was playing on my mind. There's 2 sets of sisters - April/Candy and Miya/Jasmin - that each sister works for a different pimp, so seeing them calmly talk together...share cigarettes together...that was calming to see.
I'll never ever forgive Martika for how she was to me. She was vile and abusive. She can be on her deathbed and ask for forgiveness from me, but she won't get it. However, just being able to be acknowledged "Y'alright, bitch?" by April a step in the right direction.
My mate Felicity, who works the streets regularly, says that it's been like this for quite a while.
Good, 'cos I hate drama.
