I get that and thank you to posters like you too
[QUOTE=TheAbc;6277581]Thanks. It kinda puts things in perspective on how much time I am on the forum and other ones. I wonder what 2023 will come from the events of 2022. The recent boycott, upcharge galore, rebrands, ajumma hell and not too many actual "new" remarkable talent was IMO, a crap 2022. I wouldn't be surprised by end of year if the fee is $400 or more for the cheap ones. It makes me shudder to even think how much the upcharge ones would even want.
I'm going to put a test to see if I can really quit this hobby. I've had long breaks but always came back one time or another. But this time is feels different. For the past two weeks, my urge to even hit up bookers has dwindled significantly. For me, that is a good sign and I should really focus my time and energy into other avenues in my life. It got me thinking on how much this "hobby" was part of my life and there is no one in my normal life that can actually understand that quitting was no easy feat. At the start of my first post, my intention was to only post once and give back but something got me to return back. Maybe it was the habit and addiction of this hobby that was hard to kick. I felt that the hobby wasn't returning the same energy and return back for what I gave it.[/QUOTE]I get that and there's burn out or in this case, a feel of genuine lack of dopamine stimulation regarding the hobby. Regardless, I just want to say thank you to yourself and all the other senior mongers who have helped me early in this hobby to not only enjoy myself but feel comfortable indulging in this leisurely time with the sound mind that I'm not the only one who likes the thrill of it all. Sincerely, it's comforting to know that I'm not some sort of weirdo because I enjoy intimacy with providers. The information on here makes it safer and makes the money well spent without the anxiety that comes with being a newbie.
