"I despise such people: they've no character; and if there's a thing I hate in a woman, it's want of character."

I have to say,
Way before reading Mrs Warren's profession it'd been my opinion that prostitution is nothing more than a job.
Sure it is 'unpleasant', sure it is a touchy subject, sure it is seen to be wrong and immoral; but to me it has always been the black and white sales that goes on, alike to how you'd pay for a good meal or a great experience at a theatre.
It isn't really demeaning because the assumption here is that you yourself have made that decision for whatever reason, and you are the one responsible for it. Therefore it's a choice and independence of a sort, and I just can't bring myself to look down upon you for that.
It doesn't mean that I'll root for you; it just means that all that social stigma is, from my point of view, unnecessary. If I ever meet someone in this profession I'd still have to be careful about it, and it's not going to be caused by my own prejudice but others'. And that doesn't really change anything, does it? Writing seems pointless that way, but it's just nice to phrase it out like this.

Objectification occurs when others see you as a sexual object,
But how can it be a degrading thing when you willingly choose to be so?
If selling sex is pretty much selling an experience
Alike to a skill to be presented

And as MYP so skilfully points out- the world exploits you regardless-
How is it wrong for you to exploit yourself for your own benefit?

Perhaps it hadn't been female depravation that led to your picking up this occupation;
Perhaps it was circumstances, or mere materialism
Or another reason that I don't know about.

But if you weren't forced into it by anyone, circumstances excluded,
I don't think your job to be such a wrong thing to partake in.
It is doing something that you're good at, after all.

The only thing to do is to learn to protect yourself, and to do it well

After all, views like selling your body=self-betrayal are based on the inculcated mindsets in people, and it just doesn't apply to you unless you think of it that way, too.

That's just what I think.

These days I fall into a little dent now and then
and I've been feeling down more often than would be preferable.

My dreams are consistently mission-natured and inject a sense of anxiety in me,
So much so that in the hours that I'm awake I'm not being as productive as I try to be.

I guess sleep is the main cause here, cuz it's pretty pathetic that I'm being so wimpy :(

It's just that I've been feeling rather worried and tightly wound, that's all
