Always a lil' splinter to the heart to revisit this period of my life. Wishing every s*x worker--past, present, and future--the very best. Thanks for your tender care in shepherding this piece into being, Sari. xxoo Lily
Wow. RIP Josef and all the other lost souls from that era. 🌈 Continued healing through such true writing Lily. 💔 Thank you Sari for your always caring curation. 🤓
This so well articulates the complexity and nuances and sadness of who we are and the choices we make. And our resilience, even carrying with us our past lives, all of them.
I laughed, I cried. My heart was deeply touched by your story, your beautiful writing, and the visceral details. I am also exploring mid-'80s to mid-'90s losses. Our stories need to be told. Thank you , thank you.
WOW fantastic writing about a fraught subject! Powerful insights and deep wisdom in every word. Much respect for your experiences, and thanks for bringing so much humanity to them. The world needs to hear more of this!
Lily, Josef 💔. May your memories light up the darkest nights. Love is what remains after all. Powerful storytelling from a wild and effervescent time. Thank you, Sari, Our Heart Historian. Xoxoxo🐾💫
