1. I was a cam girl for about six months in college. My weirdest customer wanted me to make him weekly grocery lists, errands lists, and just general “honey do” lists for things he had to do around the house. He was a young guy, maybe 25, and actually really attractive. British. He claimed he was lonely after his fiancée moved to Belgium for a year for school, and now they were on a break. These were all the things she used to ask him to do, and now she was too busy. So every week, I’d have a private show with him, and we’d drink coffee and go over that week’s list, and I’d wish him luck at work that day. It was kind of sweet, kind of heartbreaking.

What’s It Like To Be Abducted By Aliens

July 21, 2020 Leave a Comment

I never told anyone this story because I never thought they would believe me…

I was home along one evening and had gone to sleep for the night. I live with my SO and two indoor cats but she was out of state traveling for business.

I woke up in the middle of the night (wasn’t sure of time but it was completely dark) because my body was freezing cold. I actually like it cool when I sleep and usually have the temperature around 70 degrees or colder since I live in central Texas.

But this was different, I was ice cold but wrapped in blankets (it was middle of summer so evenings aren’t cold).

Confessions Of An Ex-Mercenary

How does one become a mercenary ?

Typically you start somewhere. I was a US Army Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne. Friends of friends found me, and got my first contract to go to Africa.

How’s the pay?

Pay can fluctuate. First of all, there’s a lot of deadbeats in this space. For example, Liberia asked me to create a littoral sea fighting force, but I couldn’t figure out how they would actually pay (regardless of promises) so I walked away. Never work for the UN. Total deadbeats.

What’s It Like To Be Poor

whats it like to be poor

To be extremely poor feels debilitating. It’s as if your vision is limited by your circumstances clouding the view beyond the now.

It’s isolating and oftentimes hopeless.

It’s like an unprepared army of one, who, if equipped with the right tools (knowledge, strategy, preparation, support and resources) could overcome and achieve anything.

It feels as if the world and systems are against you.

Sometimes it feels as if you’re misunderstood, underestimated, and forgettable. You feel like the “other”.

What do you do?

I work in the Internet and Interactive Entertainment group of the bank, where we perform advisory mergers and acquisitions services and work to arrange financing for our clients through IPOs and by issuing debt (I help internet companies get access to piles of cash).

As a banker on the internet team, I get to work with the top brass at every possible website you can think of. Whenever you hear “xyz dot com is going to merge with abc”, you can bet that I’m involved.

12 People Reveal What It’s Like To Have Depression

whats it like to have depression

1. It’s like trying to laugh at a joke that isn’t funny. Trying to smile for a photo you don’t want to be in. It’s like waking up in the morning and hating that you actually woke up. It feels like someone is just draining the energy out of you every time moment you are awake. It really isn’t that weird that people feel the urge to end their lives during a depression. It really makes you feel like you’re 80 years old, lost your beloved partner, are incapable of of doing what you want to do, and the only thing to find peace is to end your life. Depression is living day-by-day, not knowing what you’re going to do with yourself today. Not knowing if you want to be alive tomorrow.

Ramblings From The BIID (Body Integrity Identity Disorder) Community

1. I want my left foot gone. There’s a distinct line where I feel the stump should end. My foot feels like it’s supposed to be there, but at the same time it’s not. My foot, ankle or the lower half of my shin will tingle or hurt sometimes. Every day, I wake up and think: “Damn it, my foot is still attached to my body”.
