I met up with an escort last night, (haven’t seen her for over year, but before that we saw each other frequently). We get on really well which makes this confusing… we are friendly and have each other’s numbers, and social media’s so unlike how l would assume an escort would act.

Whilst we were in bed, kissing and getting handsy we had the condoms on the night stand ready to go and before I knew it she has guided me into her raw – which I didn’t mind (I’m clean) and I’m assuming she is to (I’ve grown to trust her).

He finds someone who’s drowning in chaos: financial disaster, toxic exes, family drama, zero accountability, emotional landmines everywhere. She’s a human version of a burning building.

How Do You Grow as a Person?

Personal growth isn’t about reading another self-help book or buying a journal with a mountain on the cover. It’s not about downloading meditation apps, drinking kale, or reciting affirmations about your “highest self.”

It’s about pain. Frustration. Getting your ego punched in the face by reality—and choosing to learn instead of hide.
