this email made me cry

Hi! I hope I'm not being intrusive by writing, but I just wanted to let you know your book really touched me. I started dancing in 2000 at the age of 18 with the attitude I was an outsider, from a nice family, not really one of those girls. I did put myself through college but I never got out....as the industry changed and it became all the more difficult to earn a dollar it went from air dance to lapdance to...more. Same with the drinking....Well, I suppose you know because your words could have been mine...thank you for being so brave as to write them. I recently returned to the Midwest from Vegas to pursue a graduate degree and frankly I wonder what life will be like when I'm done, if my alter ego will ever leave me.....or if its been so long we're now one and the same. It's not really something I can discuss with civilians, and my stripper friends don't have the answers either....but all of us girls who've been there, we thank you for puttting your story out there. In some way, it makes me feel a lot less broken
