Last time I was in New York City, I went to a few strip clubs. They were always entertaining, hype with action and buzzing with sensual energy. Amid the different shades of debauchery, hot steamy rooms and financial transactions, I had very interesting conversations with some girls. One told me of her upbringing, background and different experiences in the club over the years. She had discovered the strengths, desires and weaknesses of men and had also learnt the art of pleasing them in the moment. She told me of her passions, plans to leave the night life and commit full time to her business, which was still in its infancy. As she revealed more of herself to me, I was reminded how life is indeed more than what we see and touch each day. In hindsight, the girls I met taught me more about life; they taught me to be open, vulnerable and free to the experience. Contrary to popular notions of sleazy gold diggers in the club, the girls I met showed me a bit of their hearts and I saw they were just like any other girl I knew.
I would love to hear any feedback, suggestions or stories about your own journey…
