successful job at one time but gave it up fo personal reasons to work as a sex worker. She likely makes much more money than her contemporaries at her old job yet if she were to hang with some ofher old friends she would have a difficult time gaining respect from them if she claimed her living as a sex worker. I'll bet she wrestles with that a lot and wrestles with respect from others (outside her
field of work) in general.
So. Miss P. Respect from your colleagues and clients is one thing and I'll bet you have some well deserved from respect within that circle, but outside in the real world it must be much more difficult. How do you deal with it?.

Sort of like stepping off the corporate ladder, but then going out for dinner with really nice friends who are still on it and who don't realize there's another way.
I could be wrong, but I bet there is an inner freedom that comes from it. But as to what they would think if they really knew -- that's another thing entirely. I bet the majority of non-WG's would reject WG's for a variety of reasons.
Looking fwd to MissP's reply.

Well I refuse to live a life that requires respect by others NOW to be measured successful. What I mean is if need others respect then I'm defined by that respect. Don't get me wrong I don't go
and piss others off just lose respect. I just don't allow my self to go seeking it. I try to behave in a manner that shows respect. I respect my self first, if others respect then so be it. I don't need
respect for the sun to shine or my feet to walk.My dreams and goals will be obtained by self respect and self discipline, not the respect or discipline of others. There will those who have judged,
ridiculed, or despised me because of the path I choose. In the END they will envy me because I have what they desire but were unwilling to suffer to achieve. |
