It's not just work that we may seek to escape.
The other day I NEEDED to go somewhere, I needed an hour where the outside world just didn't exist. It had to be with someone I know because I really couldn't be fucked going through the whole "How do you do's?" bullshit, but at the same time I needed to be with someone who knew nothing about what was going on beyond those doors. Seeing as I don't have regulars any more, and it was last minute, and it had to be close by (I was in Carlo at the time) AND my 1st choice (Iu) wasn't working that day I went with Abby at TR190 who I had seen the week before.
Of course, it solved nothing, when I emerged the issue was still there, but for that hour, just for that brief moment in time, all that mattered was that I was receiving a fantastic massage from a lovely girl and could forget, or rather put to one side, what was happening, it was a small escape but without it honestly I would have struggled. As it was for the rest of the week I was able to remain strong to help those who needed me to be.
