empowering other people is a dangerous thing.
do not begin to empower the sex worker who's pimp is jonesing for her. teaching someone that they are worth something is a threat to other people who prey on another's belief they are worth nothing. apparently, my blissful ignorance of how i was not supposed to see the potential in another person and share that with them, was wrong. so wrong, my cel mate told me i needed to leave general population and go into protective custody.
i had begun to mess with the property of the wrong pimp.
sorry, didn't know. i was just reminding someone that they were a beautiful human being, who had talent, who had a voice to use, who had a dream to pursue, and that she had a choice when she was released from jail to go back to the life someone else decided for her, or try to create the life she would decide for herself.
i still wonder what happened to that young lady who taught me how to use jailhouse colored pencils as makeup. a talented girl with the notion that lucifer was a woman.
peace & harmony,
elaine
