I did not have to worry about accounts, I did not have to bust a gut driving for miles and miles and finding myself in new places almost on a Weekly basis.
I would say life was a lot easier when I worked in retail. I may not have been earning quite as much, but I had a lot less stress in my life, I was surrounded by friends and family and I was able to form relationships without worry of being found out for my job choice.
Yes I do enjoy my work as an Escort, but I personally am able to do this, because I have put a time frame on how long I will be doing it for and I won't have to be working to this high energy life style for too much longer. I'm also considering if I want to continue working come June when the law changes. I am concerned about loss of earnings and if I will be able to meet my current out goings with potentially less money coming in.
We are in a process of change and for me the work was already hard enough with all the areas that needed to be accomplished in order to be successful, in fact to be quite frank, the sex was by far the easiest part and a release from all the other problems and concerns that come with the job. If it was deemed more acceptable and I wasn't having to look over my shoulder all the time, maybe I would enjoy it even more.
So nothing is black and white. I would tell a client with complete honesty that I enjoy being an Escort, but I would never say it was an easy job. It's probably one of the hardest jobs I've ever done and I feel continually tired. Right now I'm very ready for a break.
