Hey Mom. I never told you this before but...

Hey Mom. I never told you this before but I got a secret job when I turned 18. The day after my 18th birthday, I started applying for every open job I could find and you encouraged me to do so. But it seemed no one wanted me. Apparently, I didn't have enough “work experience'' to work anywhere. I tried for days and days, filling out applications and trying to make a resume, but no one wanted to hire me. I know it makes no sense, but that was my situation. Anyways I wanted a job, no, I needed a job, so I found one, just not one you’d approve of. I know in a million years you still would have told me not to do this, so I had to do it in secret. My first job was actually me selling feet pics on the internet. Now, this was before Tik Tokers tried to normalize it, and advise people everywhere to try this, so there was a better market for it then. I know what you're thinking but it really wasn’t anything weird, I mean maybe a little… but I never did anything that made me uncomfortable. And I made enough money to support myself for a time. I posted a picture on Instagram of me and my friend at the beach, this was a full-body picture, head to toe. Also, side note, since I’m being honest, I didn’t have my Instagram on private, meaning that anyone could see the pictures that I posted. Later that night, a few hours after my beach pic was posted, I got a DM, a direct message, from some guy offering me 200$ to send him close-up feet pics. At first, I was weirded out and thought it was a prank, but then he cash-apped me 50$ to show that he was in fact serious. He promised the remaining balance if I would send him a picture of my feet. So … I did. I propped up my freshly pedicured feet, took a few pictures, chose the best one and sent it. A few minutes later, 150$ was sent to me and that was the beginning of my feet picture career. I always kept my feet and toes in the best conditions. I constantly exfoliated and moisturized. I used to get pedicures weekly, to ensure the best product for my customers. And every customer is different in what they want. There are different nail color preferences, different preferred angles, and different levels of cleanliness of how your feet should look. So I would message them and ask them what they wanted my feet pictures to look like. I know you're probably freaking out but I never sent anything inappropriate or got myself into dangerous situations. It was strictly feet pictures in exchange for money. And I think if you had the chance mom you would do the same thing! HAHA! I always wanted to tell you this because I feel so close and open with you but I just knew you would judge me! I’m older now, so I’m not worried. If someone is willing to pay me for my feet, why wouldn't I take advantage of that? I later got my cashier job but I still think it was easier to sell feet pictures on the internet. I have to be honest, I was not meant for 9-5 so I had to be creative and the opportunity landed in my lap. And it was good for a time so I don’t regret it but that is my big secret! Anyways, I love you mom and I’ll talk to you later!
