She lived on the street for several years, and, according to her own words, often enjoying what she was doing. She was productive in that she was able to make money for herself thanks to a job which she seemingly enjoyed. She was a rebel who had made a place for herself in society, and had fulfilled the dream of many \u2013 she was self-sufficient, able to live off the proceeds of what she enjoyed doing. Who could tell her she was wrong? Her money verified the legitimacy of her work. She had rebelled against her parents, who wanted her to show restraint with her body, and she said no, she could do whatever she wanted, she was free, and no one would take her liberty away from her."}
