Penelope Taipei Prostitute ❤️

About Keelung

So, I’m watchin her, thinkin—how’d she end up here? Prolly some sob story, abusive ex, or daddy issues—everybody’s got one. “Sand is overrated,” like Joel says in the movie—her life’s a beach, but it ain’t paradise. Bet she’s lyin to herself, sayin it’s temporary, just till she’s “back on her feet.” Bullshit. Been at it ten years, Candy—own it already! Sarcasm aside, it’s kinda sad, y’know? She’s stuck, loopin like Clementine’s hair dye—blonde today, gone tomorrow.
