Ivy League Meets the Street: Who is the Expert Escort?

Caroleena is an alum of premier institutions: of learning and lock up. She had planned to prove her foster parents wrong to call her unwanted. She intended to show the naysayers it wasn’t just affirmative action that put her in the ivy league. She wanted to send a message to the people who declined to adopt a hyperactive toddler. Most of all she wanted to console herself with her achievements but crashed and burned instead of setting the world on fire. She became everything she once condemned: addicted, homeless, criminal, achieving nothing, making no difference. Waiting to see what guy would take her away, for the day, then spending all she charged him on drugs. She’s not on the street, not now, but she’s not her idea of a winner. No, she never thought she’d measure success by having her own place and by how long it’s been since an emotional collapse led to what she calls a “destruction of property relapse.” She resides in the gap between who she thought she needed to be and who she is. This blog is the sexy, funny, raw view from this vantage point.
