“I want to talk about my amazing weekend at PoleCon… to have the opportunity to meet and talk to my pole crushss, words can’t even describe. I loved the fact I was able to be myself without judgement and event as silly I can be making people laugh… So got asked by a few people why do I pole. Well, after this weekend I can truly answer by saying I pole because it’s the one time everything stops. I tune out the chaos around me, the anxiety of constant reminders of being on alert and surveillance, and I can just dance to the beat of my own drum without giving 2 f*cks. I pole because I’m free. I pole to finally be accepted for being different. What more could a ‘wild child’ ask for?”
