Part 5
August 30, 2010 –
Thanks Guys, for all the lovely emails about how much you are enjoying my story. I did wonder, at the time, whether anyone would be remotely interested.
Anyway, I am on a roll now…. whooha!
So I left the escorting business. A couple of reasons, and none of them to do with the threats and intimidation.
I wanted to get my degree and I wanted to travel the world, oh and I wanted to change the world too.
Which one should I start with? It made sense that I did my degree first; and I loved it so much I stayed on to take another one. Im greedy like that. If I like it, I want another one ;)
I would have been a perpetual student and I was indeed thinking along the lines of a career in academia – get a PhD, research; become a lecturer.
But then I experienced the back stabbing; not againt me, you understand; senior lecturers, internal politics. Holy moly, if you think ladies of the night can cat fight, you want to see these guys. Its done with stealth though. A jab here, a turn of the knife there, behind backs. I was appalled. I looked up to these guys, I thought they knew better, I thought they were better. But they werent. Of course not all were like that, some were lovely and Im sure there are politics within all industries, but I think I was destined to be self employed.
So I decided not to pursue this path, much to the chagrin of my professor. ‘I think you will regret your decision’ he said. I havent, not for one moment.
Next, I tackle another part of my plan; to save the world. Actually it wasn’t the first time. I have been trying to save the world since I was eight and cajoled my friends into fundraising for the local old people’s home. Sickening really and no-one had the decency to tell me that the place was state funded :) I dont know where I got the idea that these were folks who needed some kid to raise money for them.
I can almost see your sympathetic smile and nod (and God forbid, eye rolling :) ‘Poor love, what was she thinking?, save the world indeed!’
I think everyone should, at least once in their life try, or even think they are capable of saving the world. Ok maybe that is a gandiose statement or phrase rather. Maybe I should say, ‘Have some impact, make a difference’ Yes thats better. Everyone kept saying ‘Oh Rhia? yes she wants to save the world‘ A bit like that character in Dirty Dancing. ‘Nobody puts Baby in the corner’ hehehe :)
So I did, I saved the world.
The End.
Ha!, well we all try and my contribution was minimal.
This phrase haunts me…
‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (or women) do nothing’
Im rambling again arent I? Right so I tried to change the world, got a few mortar boards and then set off; around the world. As you do. Well, you have to dont you? A year. Backpacking. On my own. YEE HAA!
You really get to know yourself when you spend that much time on your own – or do you? I used to think I did but some things lately have made me question that. Listen, its all a learning curve; this thing called life.
So after this big adventure, I come back, more than happy to be back in beautiful England – this green and pleasant land, and it is, oh it is. I head back to the SW, which I hadnt lived in for a good many years and thought… ‘Well what do I do now?’…
