Hi all. Hi anyone. Hello to whoever!
Its been so long, yes I know. In fact - its been a year since I last logged in to SL. I miss it, yes. But I haven't logged in for four reasons and for some strange unexplainable quirk, I still cant.
PS - if you want to skip all the mush, you can miss the next bit and scroll down for pics...
Reasons one and two...
Two people hurt me last September. One with their actions (or rather, lack thereof) and the other with their words. The combination of both happening at the same time has impacted me inexplicably.
Reason Three...
The third was a major earthquake in my country that has effected me profoundly - then six months later a second earthquake causing loss of life. Its hard to explain how this has changed my life. I'm more claustrophobic. I'm more worried about the future. But its caused me to try and push forward with my life instead of wasting what precious time I have on this earth.
Reason Four...
The most trivial reason is that I had a lot of trouble getting accustomed to 2.0 and as all four happened at the same time, I stopped bothering/trying/caring.
I miss blogging. I miss exploring. And I miss sharing. But who knew, that there was so much time in the real world?! Now I know why I used to be so time poor and stressed out - I was simply trying to be two whole people: Banana 100% and Me 100%. Unfortunately, Banana became Me, and the real world was something I was just doing in between logins.
I'm in a good place now and I've stopped masking my life with SL. Banana is still a part of me, but she is now in the real world and instead of having a split personality (RL/SL) I now show my Banana side in real life. Thats gotta be healthy, right?
Every now and again I read SL blogs - but it really pains my heart to see things that I am no longer a part of, so I stop reading after only three or four sites. Its nice though, to see all the regulars out there still. Its comforting. So I guess its for that reason - and for those special people - that I've logged on today.
I want all my readers to know that I care. You deserved an explanation to why I seemed to have dropped off the metaverse. And if you couldn't have cared less, then you obviously never knew me well, and you've probably already skipped this mush. lol :)
Anyway, it has bugged me for a year, that my best ever pictures (imho) never got aired. And I hated that when I did happen to log in, that the last pics on my blog were spur-of-the-moment posts. So, I will leave you with three pictures that I'm extremely proud of. I hope you like them as much as I do.
I have no idea if the stores still exist, or if the links are current, or if the items are still available. Sorry bout that !
