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.
Lily, your piece is vivid, stunning, powerful and exquisitely written! Thank you for sharing your truth, your heart. Sari, thank you bringing Lily’s story to your readers ❤️
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!

Oh Lily this is so fucking good. I love you.
Damn if I didn't feel this in my bones, and connected with pieces of my youth inside the lines.
Wonderful, heartfelt, honest piece,
