Am I damaged goods?

[Anonymous]

I'm 27 y/o female. Made some bad choices in my early 20s that led me to struggling with drug addiction, homelessness, having an abortion, before all that I was a stripper. Despite that, I do have strong morals that closely align w ethical code. I've made lots of mistakes but with out coming off as a hypocrite, I surely regret learning somethings the hard way. I would never judge someone... only offer my insights from my experiences... anyways I'm single as hell but I want to get married before I'm fucking old. Opinions on if I still hold any value to society or a man?

Well, you can still make a U-turn in life, so it’s possible, but :

1) How long have you been clean?
2) Are you still dealing with psychological issues?
3) What sort of employment do you have now?
4) What’s your overall financial situation?

Are some questions a man might have. Fortunately, you don’t have kids (that would make it almost impossible to find a husband you’d want to marry).

yes, but were all damaged goods. most don't know it. this is what all the values are in place for... to avoid becomming damaged. But in this world, doesn't last long. Good thing is you know it.

If you've fixed the inner damage that lead to all that, then you are good to go.

How open you are is your choice. I see some women going on stage with their trauma to help others, they find their way.

That all depends on the specific person some might consider you damaged goods yes but those are personal perspectives and they are subjective, there's people out there that don't hold strong standards or requirements to marry and I guess what will be beneficial for you when it comes to looking for a partner.

You have suffered a lot, try to look to your future instead of your past. If you want a man look for one who will give you the emotional support you need, taking you in his arms and making you feel loved, safe, and warm. I assure you there are many guys who will.

Damaged goods is a made up idea by some idealistic dudes.

If your likeable in someway a guy at some point is going to like you, if your looking around for one.

Of course you do. You have many years ahead. What do you want?

Don't discuss the past. No reason to let yesterday kill tomorrow. Just move forward.

Nah, people can change. What matters is who you are today.
