I have not written in this blog for a very long time. The reasons are many, but to simply the explanation would be to say that I have begun exploring a different part of SL – the adult world. Yes… *gasp*… I have an adult avatar. I am as yet uncertain as to whether to introduce her here as I seem to prefer to keep what I do with her private and away from those who might be curious as to who she is and what she does. At some future date, I may decide to alter the direction of this blog and include a few posts on her behalf – places she has explored, issues she encounters, but for now, that will remain in limbo… something to be considered. Stay tuned as I figure out how and in what way I will broach that.
The topic of today’s post though is a tough one – changes.
After living on Chuang since May of 2007, I have decided to give up my beach retreat. This has been one of the toughest and saddest things I have done, and while I feel some regret at having to let go of it, I believe it is the right move.
I have many fond memories of my beach, way too many to list – swimming, friends meeting, being pranked… and as I have slowly been picking things up in preparation for vacating it, I cried a few tears.
I wish I could explain it better – it’s only pixels after all – a little residence in the midst of a whole lot of Sims in Second Life.
I wish I could explain better about how even though I felt extreme sadness as giving it up, that I feel content and okay with the move. Mixed feelings?
My time at Chuang has been one of growth, learning, happiness. It was my retreat when things were going rough in RL and even sometimes in SL. I will not forget a single moment that I spent there – either by myself or with good friends.
So, while I bid goodbye to a place that holds many fonds memories for me, I welcome a whole wealth of new experiences that await me.
Catch ya on the Flip Side.
