Aries β
I absolutely would!- given the opportunity to go back in time but keep the lessons I've learned, I'd go, but I would do some things differently.
I don't regret this choice of work, but early on I did not assert boundaries as strongly as I do now, and that is the biggest change I would make if I could do things over.
I find I can get along with people who have many different personality types, communication styles, opinions, interests (in general and in terms of intimacy) and so on... Kindness and respect I consider to be the #1 most important attributes in anyone I see.
If those are present, the experiences and connections formed between myself and individual clients are as unique as they are in the details; but with respect and kindness as the bedrock, then the universals of each encounter is having a mutually respectful, open, intimate and pleasurable time :)
Give or take 4 years and counting ;)
To trust my gut instincts; to be unafraid of speaking up if I'm uncomfortable or see something that isn't right going on; that time waits for no one; that it's better on a bad day to take even a single step towards a goal than take no steps at all.
I've had very affectionate friendships and from time to time even crushes on some clients...'fallen in love' being in quotations, I am going to read it as being asked colloquially. π€
I've definitely had a few clients whom I would have a rush of excitement when they got back to me/back in to see me each time π
I wouldn't say it went as far as Romantic Love, but for sure friendship, fondness, caring and once in a while a bit of a crush π€
As a MILF-- probably an honorary one as I don't see kids in the cards in that timeframe...-- but honorary or not, embracing and rocking it ;)
Ha ha ha...
I would say that I'm very detailed in planning, I ask questions others might not think to ask in pursuit of providing the best possible client experience π
Though I'm a natural introvert, in text communication as well as in person I'm friendly, talkative and willing to explain things- snobbiness and false airs aren't my style π
And as for service...I'm not sure if I should go into detail here, but ask me about it privately/come see me, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed π
Usually I consider my attention to detail/meticulousness a strength, but on the rare occasion it's been a hindrance- for example, if someone has a request that I haven't received before, I like to think about it before I give an answer on what I'd expect for it.
*But*, sometimes I do overthink a request, or if I'm really not sure that becomes procrastination. This has happened a couple times to me, and in hindsight Ive seen sometimes I really was overthinking things π
So while I still aim to be meticulous, I am making an effort to be more decisive/not overthink things so much. π
My perseverance and resilience; sometimes I am down but never out. In difficult circumstances I take time to regroup and bounce back.
To attain financial freedom, which would allow me to pursue passions and hobbies, as well as devote more time and money to causes I care about.
I like to read, go to the movies (some good indie/art house theatres in my area), draw/doodle, listen to podcasts, attempt to cook (π ) and try new restaurants π
Thought it's not always easy, when possible I try to stay calm and look at a challenging situation rationally (and not emotionally).
I try to see the bigger picture, and keep in mind that most difficulties are fleeting. And that how my reaction is the only thing I can control/one of the largest determinants of the outcome. :)
Integrity, Confidence, maybe just a π€ of Ego π
