Added 2020-09-05 21:14:11 +0000 UTCI’m putting out the best, most authentic work of my career right now. Finally in that sweet spot & teary-eyed to see how far I’ve come...I got incredibly sick at 23. I quit my stressful PR job, and abandoned my music business. “How do I pay medical bills while disabled?” I had to fundraise for medical because my bills were upwards of $100k throughout those years. It’s dehumanizing to market yourself to get healthcare. But through that time I learned a few important things. 1) how to ask for help. 2) accept help + abundance. 3) believe I was worthy. After a bit, I desperately needed to make money. Charitable efforts ran out, my parents were in a tough spot, too. I was tired of talking about my illness and having to show vulnerable, personal parts of myself to “receive.” Vulnerability IS beauty. But at a point, I couldn’t do it that way anymore. I made videos to show the reality of my health situation. I was interviewed extensively by Cosmopolitan magazine for weeks, and then it got scrapped last minute. After that, I knew I was done. I needed to transition, and I trusted I could find a way out. That way out, was my way into cam/adult entertainment. I’ve used this to heal myself and others. I’ve transformed my trauma into a new story. I have re-birthed myself a dozen times over in my adulthood. I create art for pleasure, and I have built a small community that celebrates me at every stage of my growth. Just happy to be doing what I love. Thank you. 😭♥️🙏🏼 With love, Emma Shared originally on Twitter.
