with everything that's gone on lately, i had a question.

if given the choice, how many people would stay here and how many people would leave? i get that it's a pretty personal question and don't feel like you've gotta answer. i'm just curious considering the way the place has changed lately and the people that have been lost.

could you live your life here? or would you leave and take your chances?

there's no reason to feel ashamed about it... ( or upset -- judging by the !!! and ????? )

you can't be ashamed of something you're not doing.
i'm not ashamed because i'm not an escort. i'm annoyed because you keep calling me one.

and it pays well enough for you to get an apartment of your own.

yes? why is that so hard for you to believe?

[gradual]

because i notice that one is often paid a measly sum of money for a ridiculous amount of work and there aren't many options about.

work more? get a roommate? get a better job?
you have to actually get a job to complain that you don't make enough money, you know
