Honest Courtesan

Trying to figure men out can give most women an ulcer. I'm sure men feel the same way. But what make both men and women tick... Sometimes I feel I need to become a Venice Courtesan. In the 16th century if you didn't marry into the right home and you were a woman you had 3 choices... Become a maid, go into a nunnery, or become a courtesan. Women were just mere objects. Something for their husbands to prance around. Women were not considered very important. They were not allowed to be educated and had very little rights. My have we come a long way!

Women now are educated. We can choose who we wish to be with. We can make our own money. We have options with everything. If you don't like your situation you are able to change it. And that's the point I am right now. So I currently have changed some of my situation. My relationship with my husband has seen better days but just working on it doesn't seem to be enough. My appearance has improved. I have so far lost over 50lb. My self esteem has increased and I feel stronger physically. Its now time to get my mental thinking into shape. That's where the honest courtesan comes into play so to speak.

A Courtesan was for the most part a high class "call girl". They were highly educated women who could talk to anyone on any level of experience. It is said that a King would go to his Courtesan for guidance on matters of state before he ever went to his counsel or Queen. That's what I would like to become. I would even like to be the "call girl". Although I would have only one customer. I want that high level of education. But not in just one area. I want politics, diplomacy, science, skepticism, religion, business, language, art, culture and yes even in sex, intimacy, and love. I don't want just a job... I want a career. I don't want just a husband... I want passion. I don't want just an education... I want it all! There are so many things that I have discovered that I want to do... that just one lifetime could never fulfill it.

So here I go... I start with my education. I head off to the college to enroll in a class of my choice. Then off to the library to grab a book on any topic I wish. The world is mine for the taking... And guess what? I'm going to take it!
