This essay by Madeleine Kopp won Second Place in the Hare & Bell 2024 Writing Contest.

Abstract

In the fall of 2021, I made a decision that would forever change the trajectory of my life. Despite a positive outcome due to my resilience, I still struggle with the ramifications and side effects of my decision to engage in online sex work. Soon after ending my OnlyFans career, I realized how it impacted my mental well-being, put a strain on my personal relationships, and jeopardized my career prospects due to the potential harm it could cause to my reputation. I no longer bear the crushing weight of guilt and regret. Instead, I view it as a pivotal moment in my life, one that set me on an unexpected path and taught me invaluable lessons. I am now grateful for the opportunity to grow and evolve, and I carry that gratitude with me every step of every day.
