THE WHORE DIARIES

12: THE THERAPY

TINA has been feeling somewhat triggered lately. It bothered her a lot that AleXandra and Sonja were always fighting, and she thought it was wrong that Sonja was going out to a gay club, and also that she didn't invite her to go out there. Also, she still felt a bit fat even though she is on a diet and regularly doing pilates. So she decided to schedule a session with a psychotherapist, because otherwise she might suck the cake if she continued down that path. Equally, she wanted to prove that she too was born for flirting, and not for celibacy since Alexandra was in a semi-relationship with Leo.

The psychotherapist's office was located in one of the main streets. Namely, it was a wide boulevard that could match the width of Sonja's cleavage, in the center of which there were various plants and flowers. Everything was just that... wide. The office was on the first floor of a nice grey-colored building, which had a hamburger joint on the ground floor with the famous stuffed burgers, so it reminded Tina of her stuffed days. She rang the intercom and the door opened.

Tina slowly climbed the stairs, staring at the corridor. It was white, shiny, and tiled. He had plants in a pot, there were also some boxes... She knocked on the door three times. A woman with a pigtail and glasses opened the door for her. It's a psychotherapist.

TINA: Good afternoon. I made an appointment.

ANA: Nice to meet you, Tina? I'm Ana, I'll be your psychotherapist. Come in please.

She walked into an apartment that was literally as blue as a pack of tampons. Literally everything looked blue and like it was from the fifties. She sat down on the armchair and the conversation began.

ANA: So, Tina, just so you know, I'm only here for you for this hour. You can talk about whatever you want, you won't be judged.

TINA: Okay, then let me start.

ANA: Feel free.

TINA: Well, I have a lot of internal problems. I'm constantly fighting an internal battle.

ANA: About what?

TINA: Let's say, one of my friends is someone's lover. And now, that person whose lover she is had a stormy love affair with me. I even thought we were engaged. But then I found out that it was illegal because I was 15 at the time, so I listened to Lil Kim a lot. And so my problems began.

ANA: Well, would you get engaged to that person now?

TINA: Not at all. I'm a little worn out.

ANA: Okay, if you think so.

TINA: And now, I hang out with two girls, and we were really good as sisters. However, either I have become a man now or they are deliberately avoiding me. Let's say, Alexandra made fun of my longtime crush, she literally took him in front of me. I'm trying not to get mad at her too, but I'm kind of all bitter.

ANA: Yes.

TINA: And Sonja, that's another friend, she's so promiscuous. I mean, I'm discreet and that, and she gives herself to everyone... Literally, all credit to her. But I think she's being unrealistic and trying to impose higher hooker standards on me.

ANA: And what do you think about those standards?

TINA: Well, everyone needs a little fun here and there, but I think that's a little too much.

ANA: And why does she bother you?

TINA: Well, I don't mind her, but she just kind of blurted it out. And he goes out to a gay club and doesn't call me.

ANA: So is she gay?

TINA: No, she just likes attention.

ANA: And that other friend, Alexandra... What do you think, can you do something to change the relationship?
