Hope! I think you must be an optimist, because every time I think of the ending of this movie, my heart breaks again. I’ll try to remember to think about hope next time. It’s a beautiful way to look at her. Thanks for that! ❤️

Hey there and happy 2023! You did a good thing, you did, started this bloggy observation email thing. There's a word. Anyway, you do a wonderous travel through this trope. It is always that prostitute knows best, pure despite her choices. Oldest profession that it is, the woman who chooses to use her closest, most dear possession of her own body to make a living has to stay strong or give in. What a high expectation that culture puts on a woman in survival mode. So many songs, so many stories and reviews. But do they want to consider what her work really is and what it does to a woman's soul? or why the heck does it have to be "dirty"? Because it IS a choice and it IS HER body to use as she wants or needs to.

I'm ranting. I loved your piece here and thank you for your insights and music. And. Remain awesome, looking forward to your next share.

Not a rant! I know what you mean! This is the ever-spinning debate about empowerment vs. what it does to your soul - or what society says it does to your soul - I don't know, does it?! Wish we were closer to have a coffee and a rip roaring debate about it because I know my sentimentality hampers my enlightenment from time to time! Thanks for reading!!
