A decade in the business

10 years ago today, I stood in front of a cheap wooden door, in a dingy building, trembling with fear. I never forgot the date, because I was terrified someone woildndo something to tease me, and I was such a nervous wreck, I knew I couldn't handle it. 18, half child and half young adult. So much I didn't know about men, sex, relationships and myself.

4 names and a decade later... Here I am! Sitting at an airport in the Carribean.

The internet was in it's infancy, so indies were few. Print ads were still a main basis for the gents. Many ladies still gave each other referral gifts, as a sign of appreciation for recommending a gent to her. Agencies ruled. Review boards were far fewer.

I remember GFE had nothing to do with sexual acts - it meant she was sweet, warm, kind, didn't make you feel like just another client. Amazing how things change!

I got involved naive, I was expecting to have the experience I do today - and soon learned it could take years to get what I desired - but I got there. Afterall, I was committed for life and had all the time in the world to figure out how to do things in a way that felt comfortable and enjoyable.

Many thought I'd retire in under five years, my hopes were unrealistic, that I would get tired, frustrated, jaded and quit. Yet here I am, having had accidentally stumbled upon the very life I dreamed of so long ago.

In part it's a wonderful feeling, that I didn't lower my head and play by the rules everyone insisted on, it's a nice feeling to pave your own unique journey.

In part the months leading up have been full of solemn reflection. And for the first time, doubt.

The last 4 years I celebrated with my best friends from elementary school, who remember sitting on a swing set, hearing me talk about being a call girl with men I adored traveling the world. This one I celebrate with a gent who has been close and precious for many years - in fact, I broke the most rules and erased the most boundaries with him - he's been a wonderfully bad influence. The first year I celebrated my anniversary as a Companion, was the year I met him.

Allow me to send a thank you, to those who have made this path life affirming, joyful and safe. To the friends who I have met, even if our contact and time together fluttered by quickly. There has been much goodness, even amongst the fleeting moments of heart ache and shadow.

Happy Anniversary.

All the best!

Happy Anniversary.

Let me see. 18+10=...
