Yeah, 20 months since I left the industry.

And I reckon just really the last...

seven months I've fully become content and comfortable with who I am again and even now I'm a fairly confident person like you know this I still have situations where I'm sitting in public and

I actually said to, sorry, just to get off the topic, but it's relatable to what I'm saying.

I actually said to my client's husband the other day, so I do support services and I work for a Christian couple.

They're amazing.

And I started crying every Sunday.

They have people at their house and I can get so awkward around normal conversation and normal people because I'm actually relearning how to assimilate back into society as just who I am because I

I was living a life so outside of who I actually have been my whole life that I forgot how to interact and how to be normal somewhat.

And his family and friends left and I just said, you know what, thank you so much.

I feel so safe here.

And I started crying and he said,

We know it's hard for you, Hayley.

Like, you're doing great.

And I'm, like, having to relearn a sense of normality again because the OnlyFans and the hypersexualization and everything that is that adult industry, it's not normal.

It's not real life.

We need to get away from making it real life because those people, when they exit the industry and come back into reality,

the norm as such right like if you always put parameters on it it's like it's a struggle like it's a real struggle and i'm still dealing with the flow on effect from that after being in it for five years

That's the thing, Josh.

I think I went on a podcast with you or with someone prior to doing this when I first started OnlyFans.
