Please don't judge

So I took up exotic dancing to pay our bills. I'm a partner of a business but the most I've made is $200 one week. Pretty shitty when you have a bunch of loans, bills, tuition, and vet bills to pay. My SO is very supportive as it's something I'm doing strictly to make money. Once you loose sight of your goal, you're just a stripper. I see it all as a business transaction. I work at a club that sells alcohol so legally we have to keep bottoms on and pasties on at all times. Which makes me feel a little better about myself. I just feel awful lying to my friends and family. And seriously, I've never been in so much pain. I will never make fun of an exotic dancer again. Those girls work so damn hard, it's only my second night and my legs are bruised all over, I can hardly walk, and my arms are killing me from holding onto the pole. As an office manager, I know I don't work nearly as hard as these girls do. And all you girls who judge them should feel ashamed. They are working their asses off trying to support themselves or their families. I feel so much better getting it off my chest though. I just hope you ladies are kind enough to keep hatful comments to yourselves.
