When I first became an escort a couple of years ago I was not in the right place emotionally. I had just finished with a very bad relationship and decided to set off by myself to gain back who I had lost, me!!!
I had spent 8 long months as someone else's puppet and for the first time I was free to do what I wanted. I had nothing but I did have my freedom to choose and go anywhere that I wanted. I was happy for the very first time in a long time. I decided that I would head to Wellington but before I did that I wanted to make a trip to Cape Reinga. The northernmost tip of New Zealand.
Maori people believe that when you die your spirit leaves from this point. So I went there to see where my soul would go when I pass to the other side. I wanted to see how beautiful it was. I had heard so many stories from my relatives about this place and how spiritual it is. The picture does it no justice. You have to go there to see if for yourself and feel it. There is a quiet calm about the place. I walked out to the end of the point and gazed down. There on the point stands a lone tree where it is said our souls dive off following the roots of the tree to the other side.
I thought of all the people in my life that had passed on. All my loved ones and the people whom had left a lasting impression in my mind and on my life. People whom I had thought of in times of
desolation and loneliness. Thinking of them helped give me strength to hold fast to my beliefs and visualise my time of freedom once again. I sat for a long time that day thinking of those people and gave thanks to them for the positive influence they had on my life. It was due to them and the lessons they had shared with me that gave me the strength, motivation and determination to carry on.
I learned that day that no matter what I was a survivor and I aimed to remain this way.
