I have too much good news and good feelings to share with friends and acquaintances in real life, so I wanted to share it with my SG friends. I think maybe a small handful of you will appreciate. :)
I went through a very hard time for about two years. My life as a 19-20 year old was sad, lonely, and dark. I had no license, I had no way to escape from my home life, which was, to say the least, rough, and I hated my job. I started working at a small craft beer bar where I absorbed all of the knowledge on craft beer that I could and discovered my passion for it. I loved the beer that I was serving, and I was excited to share what I knew about it, but either because of my age or because of my gender, or maybe both, I wasn't listened to and was very often made fun of and sexually objectified. I had nothing in common with my coworkers, and none of them seemed to like me or understand me even in the slightest. I walked home from work each night and reflected sadly on what I could had possibly done to deserve the negativity I was receiving. I had no friends to hang out with, as all of my high school friends were going to college, and I was stuck at home in the rinky-dink town everyone else had moved away from, unable to afford the college education I always expected to get.
Everything changed once I got my license.
For the first time ever, things lined up the right way and I was able to get myself a Volkswagen Jetta, which I happen to look adorable driving. I had also just turned 21. I quit my shitty job at the craft beer townie bar and got a new job at a big new fancy craft beer bar with 48 draft lines in a nearby city. My first day there, the management offered me a promotion, I became friends with all of my great coworkers, I impressed dozens of customers with my beer knowledge, and... I got laid, for the first time in forever.
Around the same time, I became active on Suicide Girls. I feel like I'm part of an awesome secret society where I can be myself and where other appreciate me for all of my weirdness, imperfections, and for the traits which I really can't show off to most people in the conservative area of the county I live in. ;) I love all of you guys, for real, and I thank everyone who has shown me their appreciation. I feel like I have emerged from my cocoon and everything is bright and shiny and new and wonderful. <3
