"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first."
— Jim Morrison
2011, July. We've reached the second half of yet another new year. Thoughts manifested, dreams achieved and plans materialized.
What else is there ?
After my 22nd birthday last year, I decided to take a break from the trade. Moved to the countryside and after to the bush.
I might actually be retired from the trade.
I've come to realise how little I could actually live with and be content and happy. That most importantly to be yourself and let your inner-self shine through.
During my time escorting, I've made a good friend and some bad ones. However, with a belief in goodness and certainty that all will be well. Things always turn amazingly well.
I've come to realise that there are more to 'material' capital. That maybe, sex for sale isn't the way to come about to find happiness, truth or predictability.
That no amount of material wealth or even the 'realness' of money would ever satisfy beings. Other than themselves.
No doubt, the trade maybe lucrative and something I enjoy. However, I need to caution youths that - becareful and beware if you are thinking or have entered the trade. I do understand the 'veils' needed and facades we have to put on. One needs to note that,
With that, the more we pretend to be someone else we are not, the more we do things we don't like; We eventually end up losing bits of ourselves each time, till we eventually lose all of what was true to us or even ourselves.Which, inevitably comes with the nature of the job, the act of trying to be someone else or even trying to hide who we truly are.
At the end of the day, we are only mere mortals.
I, thank all my readers and supporters for the emails and support over the last 5years. I hope that everyone enjoyed and continue to join me on this journey - called life.
The important thing in life, I've learned over the 5years of blogging and this experience of mine that.
No matter what you do, be true to yourself.
Which is really easy to lose sight of, with all the seemingly luring temptations of our Capitalistic Society.
Be true to yourself, and don't be afraid to be who you are and want to be.
Because, life's all about standing up for your rights and what you believe in.
