dean didn’t make me quit. he’s an easy scapegoat. it wasn’t the crappy money either or the commute. and i didn’t even quit.
hickville just made me unendingly tired. i’m not tired of stripping, i’m tired of stripping in hickville and the go-get-em to find another club farther away feels awful impossible to muster.
so i’m taking a break and it’ll probably never be the same when i come back.
this blog has lived for over two years and let’s all be honest, it’s got the death rattle, don’t you think?
so.
why don’t you click that little button on the right side to sign up onto email subscription for new posts and maybe i’ll come back as a ghost for visits but mostly we’ll just let thestoryofstory.wordpress.com rest in peace.
and now the sappy part: you know i love the shit out of you readers, right? you were my gaggle of closest friends when i had no one else to talk to and you went everywhere with me. you sat backseat on dark nights and darker parking lots and through big handfuls of states. you joined me for coffee at countless cafes with free wifi. my gratitude to your IP addresses, pseudonyms, real name confessions and upticks on my stats graph is true and deep.
my big heart beats for your big heart.

I have too many words of distress and sadness to adequately put down on the virtual page. This is the tragedy and the joy of the internet: being able to share the most intimate thoughts of strangers you’ll never meet, to grow attached, to love and then to part ways with abruptness and ache. I’ve always been impressed by the depth of your feeling, your unrelenting embrace of the good in life and in yourself and in others around you. Thank you for sharing.

You should sort this blog out into a memoir, and we’re interested in your next move/still wanna read even if the premise is compromised.

Well…as a lurker, I will miss your incredible writing. BUT I understand. Sometimes it is best to step back and take deep breaths.
The very best to you!

I guess all will end well. I can only wish you the best in this forum and whatever happens next.
You’ve got email etc. so you can get hold of us.
I hope you will be well, and careful.
I should be doing the same thing in life at this time, too, but don’t know if I will . . . . stuff doesn’t always stop the way you want it to.
Or your head doesn’t stop other pieces . . . .
Good luck.

Dammit. Well, like I said in the last post; I hope our blogpaths cross again one day.
Happy travels. x

Best of luck to you in your future endeavors Story. Would’ve been cool to meet the woman behind the “Story”, so to speak. Who knows, maybe we’ve already met before and didn’t know it.
I do have to say, your more recent posts have had a bit of a somber tone. Just want to fire off a not-so-great quote, “It can’t rain all the time.” -The Crow. Almost as bad as “After all, tomorrow is another day” – Scarlett O’Hare
Have a brilliant remainder of the Holiday season. And, may you feel renewed in the New Year.
Best Wishes,
Vanguard

you started stripping to find love. one of the reasons i started stripping was to find others like me, and you have been part of realizing that goal. You can be a stripper, and a human, and we’re both living proof of that.
i will miss your writing, and cherish your friendship, for the rest of my life. and Ava does indeed speak for me; you know how to get a hold of us if you need to– or if you just feel chatty.
shit tons of love,
Lilah

Thanks so much for the stories! I too have spent many nights away from home, and your posts about love, the way people feel about each other and even minor, small things like the stars and the moon above your car always remind me that I’m not the only one who’s looking for something far from what most people are looking for. I understand your decision to end this blog, and I hope that you find love and peace, wherever they are.
