Signs that you're ready to retire?
« on: 09 July 2011, 06:03:05 am »
Well, ladies, I'm at a crossroads...

I think I've gone through the first phase of the escort business. I feel comfortable with myself and what I'm doing. I learned a lot and enjoyed myself. But... I'm not excited about it anymore.

I read the article about from Annie Sprink about burnout and I've taken some time off, spent time in nature, etc. I'm just curious what you've done when you feel this way for an extended period of time.

So... any advice, hints, suggestions. Should I just wait longer, in the hopes that I start feeling ready to do it again? Should I change it up a bit by doing tours or more domme/sub work? Just push myself to go back to it and see if the magic returns?

Help me... I'm sittin at home feeling sorry for myself, didn't go out for a few days, feel lonely and out of sorts.

those are the signs alright! the thing is when i started i saw lots of evidence around me of other working girls and many of them 'HATED' the job but felt TRAPPED, and felt like there was NOTHING else they could do with their lives.  This really kinda freaked me out and so i gave myself a time limit of 5 years and then i would leave the biz no matter if i had anything lined up or not (and i dont by the way....so going from rich to poor in one fell swoop)....i loved it when i started too, really enjoyed myself, sex was first then money, then a few years in, money first, sex second, and now its like: oh thank god i'm quitting in august....i have aspirations and dreams separate from escorting and i plan to pursue these dreams while i still have mobility....i always said that i would leave the biz when i felt like the job was controlling me, and not other way around.  You may be feeling like you 'should' be feeling this or that....what is happening is that you already know....you have a gut feeling = just listen to your own instincts and follow thru with what 'you' are saying to 'yourself'....and you'll be fine... (look at me, i'm taking the leap into being on the breadline to follow my heart, i HAVE to do this and i know i'm going to be alright down the line)
