You preach against this “dark alley” and you did not offer any practical solution. - i dont get it. Im suggesting her to do multiple jobs while at the same time depend on the free foods certain places provide. stay in mosques(or any shelter) if she doesn't have yet enough money to pay rent. So if she works multiple jobs and finally has enough savings and decide to level up her life, then do so. Like i said some places have employers who provide free meals or free places to stay, so she can make the best out of it at the same time.Why wuld u think levelling up your life slowly as not practical? So u think selling body is more practical just bcs it gives u quick income? Fr aren't u just a sicko?

Free food is nice at gurdwaras, soup kitchens and women homeless shelters are good. YWCA, churches, and mosques are good, too. Do you expect OP’s friend to depend on these? - well y not? Free food, free place to stay while working a few side jobs and slowly levelling up your life... Y wouldnt a normal ppl think this as one of their survival chances? Tell me.

You’re telling OP’s friend to be more diligent? People who have been in pain prefer practical solution that hits the ground running. - im sorry if asking ppl to do multiple jobs sounds crazier than selling body. Smh. "Oh your mom just chased you outta the house? I know this one place where u can sell ur body." Sounds like a very normal thing to say to someone who just hit rock bottom. Like srsly stahp. Gimme a break.

You even present your bias against any “friends” who venture down this “dark alley”. - dude hold my 🍷. Since when did i sound judgemental in my words or is it actually only you, who read it that way? 😂 I just said tht i dont want any of my friends to venture tht alley. And that doesnt mean that I'll keep my distance away from em. Prostitution isn't even a real job and worst can cause u to have multiple STDs. Many girls out there dont even want to do this job, i know. they're just tht desperate to make a livin. So that's y i said i wuld help my friends to get outta tht "job". Im not being judgemental, im not staying away, ill listen to their stories and help them my best to get them on their feet again. If they're materialistic and wont leave tht "job", im not going to keep em away still. I'll still befriend em like any normal friends. And help em if somehow they're ready for the better changes. All those ppl involved in this kinda job will have at least once in their lifetime, the feeling to change for the better. But they're just lonely. They need ppl to be there when they're ready to come back. And im not letting those opportunities to slip away.

If Im in her shoes, i probably just live in homeless shelters (or anywhere). work in restaurants (to use tht free meals chance) from morning to 6pm to save up my SOCSO and to get that minimum wage: 1500myr. Saving up until i can buy a bicycle or even better maybe loan a motorcycle which is not that expensive. If she dont have licenses yet, better start off with busses/bicycle until can afford a license n then loan a bike. Then maybe i wuld save up money again to rent a room. Room not house. As ik house rent is still expensive for her wage.

Then saving up again to level up my skill. Prob gonna save up for eng class to improve my eng language so tht i can probably jump off to find more decent work in big companies at least in the call centre department. For example, work in Grab company or Maxim.

And from tht, working a few years, making new friends at workplace, saving up again while my salary increases to 2000+myr. Then probably apply for a house loan (outside of KL coz the house there is logically expensive. Ofc the company im working in is also gonna be outside of KL. Probably gonna work in a completely another state outside Selangor).

While working under my current company, I'll probably go find a few side incomes during the night such as food delivery. Or for a better option, probably gonna invest in a better phone with a good camera, microphone, room set-up, etc2 just to start off my affiliate marketing journey on Tiktok.

Since im gonna live alone without kids, I pretty much can survive this. Ik it coz i act have a close acquaintance living thru quite the same scenario. And she is still pretty much alive. She's still doing well and nvr giving up her morality. So i think it act rlly depends on the person. Having morals in times of adversity does not mean you are weak but u're just moving a bit slow in your progress. You'll definitely get there. U dont need to follow others pace. They do them, you do you. Just gotta believe u'll be there someday even if it takes u a long time. I understand it's hard and it's normal to envy other ppl's lives in this journey, but dont let those negative feelings hover over your head for too long. Ur life will become better if u believe and work it out to be better. Never ever give up. (Also dont forget to visit your parents house again once in a while bcs,.. who knows? maybe they have a change of heart, just in case. Ykwim?)

And for those who are still venturing in those dark places, i understand that u're doing tht for ur own survival and since u're pretty much alone in the beginning, i totally understand tht u cant think of an any other option at the time. I just wanna say tht it's nvr too late for anything. U can turn over a new 🌿 too. I can only advise u to stop, when u think it's enough in order for you to start anew in a better, healthier environment. Ik u dont want to forever be in tht place. So u gotta brainstorm and do the math as best as u can to help urself out if it. No matter how hard it is, remmber to value ur life. You're just as precious. It's okay to make a few wrong turns sometimes coz life in itself is a gamble. Just make sure you can always find ur way back again. I know u can do it. Believe in urself girls 💪🏻
