Owning Up, Being Me

A lot has happened in the last month with me. I have found myself debating many things. One of those things is my finances. I know that I "should" go back to doing mental health work, and make 24k a year with benifits and be happy, but I have come to the conclusion that I want, and NEED more. I did a little escorting when I was working on my undergrad,and a couple of weeks ago, I decided to go back to it. It is not totally based on financial reasons.

I am a professed workaholic. It has not been easy for me balancing having a social life and working so much at my age. Last year, about this time I couldn't do it anymore. I broke down emotionally, and left the mental health field. Since then I have been working various jobs, and never making ends meet. It is sad how society works. I can make more in 2 hours as an escort, then I made in two weeks counseling. Sigh.........
