I, too, hung out with the Saffster not long after she first arrived from CA. While very much bright and insightful, she's had a tough time with life and her self-image is woefully inaccurate. And yes, she is a cutter. Kind of freaked me out when I noticed that and is why I stopped seeing her. A few years ago Steve (EE) had a girl in NKY, beautiful and hot, who was a cutter and eventually committed suicide. We'd had some deep talks a month or so before she passed and the demons were definitely in control. Hit me pretty hard.
Unfortunately, a good number of girls supporting themselves in this way are the result of lack of self-confidence. Most of the time they're with losers is because they don't believe they (a) deserve more or (b) could get more. It's a real pity because a few of them are seriously smart and could do much good for themselves and the world. Then again, I wonder how I would've turned out had I the challenges they've had. You never know until you've walked their road.
[QUOTE=NineIncher;4849922]She looks a bit demon possessed in that clip, I must admit. But I've got to say, having talked to Saffy in the past about various topics, I do believe she is very intelligent. But like so many of these girls, circumstance has obviously been unkind to her. She'll offer up all kinds of excuses as to why she is the way she is, that her lifestyle, tats, piercings, etc and so on are just her way of expressing herself. Uh huh, yeah right. If you look close at her arms, I believe she's also a cutter, as well. Be that as it may, if we could erase all the crazy shit on her skin, along with her neon dreadlocks, there's a seriously very beautiful and intelligent woman underneath all of it. I believe the dickhead loser standing next to her is her boyfriend, perhaps ex at this point. Cutting his lazy ass loose would be a good first step for her. I wish her the best, but she's been escorting for a long time now. I wish she'd move on to bigger and better, because she deserves so much better (as do all of these girls).[/QUOTE]
