MAKE ROOM AT THE TABLE
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT A MOVEMENT, A CHARITY, AN ALBUM, ALL WITH THE THEME OF REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ALONE, ESPECIALLY ON HOLIDAYS. I PROVIDED THE LINK (SEE ABOVE) SO YOU CAN LOOK OVER ONE OF THE BRANCHES OF THE CHARITY. THE LINK WILL SHOW YOU A CAMPAIGN THAT HAS SINCE ENDED TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP WOMEN WHO ARE “TRAPPED” IN BROTHELS IN ASIA. THEY HAVE TO STAY THERE FOR PRESSURES THAT ARE NOT ENTIRELY FAMILIAR TO AMERICAN WOMEN. HOWEVER, THE PROSTITUTES I SPOKE WITH ABOUT THANKSGIVING SHARED A POINT OF VIEW WITH ME THAT I SHARED WITH YOU A FEW DAYS AGO. THE OUTCASTS OF SOCIETY WERE NOT BORN AS OUTSIDERS, THEY, REALLY–WE, BECAME OUTSIDERS. WE DO NOT HAVE FAMILIES BECAUSE WE FLED ABUSE, OR WE WERE IN ADOPTIVE HOMES THAT REALLY WISHED THEY COULD HAVE A CHILD OF THEIR OWN (A REAL CHILD). WE DO NOT HAVE COLLEAGUES BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN USING OUR ADULT LIVES WHEN OTHERS ARE CREATING A PROFESSIONAL FOUNDATION. WE DO NOT HAVE FRIENDS BECAUSE WE HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO RIP US OFF. PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE BECAME PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO RIP OTHERS OFF. BUT EVEN BEFORE THE DRUGS WE, I SHOULD SAY I, DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE AND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PUZZLING IN THE MOMENT. I NEVER KNOW WHAT I DID TO GIVE OFFENSE UNTIL IT IS EXPLAINED TO ME AFTER THE INTERACTION IS OVER AND I HAVE MADE A NON-FRIEND. EVERY SITUATION IS SO UNIQUE I FIND IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO APPLY LESSONS LEARNED FROM ONE DISASTROUS SOCIAL ENCOUNTER TO ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS. THERE YOU HAVE IT–NO FAMILY, NO FRIENDS, NO COLLEAGUES, AND NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. WE ARE TRAPPED IN OUR LONLINESS NOT SO MUCH BY PEOPLE TRAFFICKING US, BUT BY THE DRUG THAT PIMPS US OUT, OR BY OUR LACK OF PRACTICE BEING AROUND PEOPLE, OUR FEAR OF REJECTION, OUR INABILITY TO REACH OUT TO THE PEOPLE AROUND US WHO ARE MOST LIKE US AND FORM A UNION WITH OTHER OUTSIDERS.
IF ONLY WE DID NOT NEED AN INSIDER TO BE PRESENT TO MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE ARE LEGITIMATELY DOING SOMETHING WITH OHTERS THAT IS FULFILLING. LIKE WINONA, THE 60ISH LONG TERM STREETWALKER IN A POST ON THANKSGIVING 2020, WE COULD DO NOTHING TOGETHER, THE TWO OF US, SINCE NEITHER OF US HAD PLANS. AND NEITHER OF US THOUGHT TO RE-FRAME THE IDEA THAT BEING TOGETHER WOULD BE DOING SOMETHING. PREDICTABLY, IT DID NOT HAPPEN ANYWAY. I DID NOT WANT TO REACH OUT TO SOMEONE WHO MADE A CASUAL INVITATION IN PASSING AND WOULD BE UNLIKELY TO REMEMBER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IMPORTANT. I DID NOT WANT TO FEEL THAT FEELING WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR PRESENCE IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAKE THE DAY COMPLETE FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
UNPOPULAR FACT: LONELY WOMEN WILL TURN TO PROSTITUTION, OR AT LEAST KEEP PRACTICING PROSTITUTION, NOT FOR DRUGS, NOT FOR MONEY, BUT FOR COMPANY. OFFER SEX AND YOU CAN GET TEMPORARY COMPANIONSHIP. AND TEMPORARY COMPANIONSHIP BEATS ISOLATION EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AND TWICE ON HOLIDAYS!
