Control Your Dreams

I’ve been having a lot of nightmares again. It makes sleeping very undesirable. Yet, my body is wracked with illnesses that require rest. My therapist recently suggested that I look into lucid dreaming. I was a little skeptical at first, but I think I’m going to need to look into it. Imagine being able to control your dreams! I’ve got to try something, because these nightmares are getting out of hand.

This Adventure

Life is an adventure. Half of the adventure is the journey. As much as some of us (like me) enjoy our solitude, its also important that we learn to lean on one another. Enjoy each other’s company. For one reason or another, those we love may not be around forever. I’m not talking about death. I’m talking about people growing apart. We’ve all heard the saying, “People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.” We have to be willing to accept that change happens and sometimes people grow apart. It’s not always for a bad reason and we have to be willing to accept that its not always personal. Even if it is, chances are…their purpose in our life has been met. I’ve had many people come and go from my life over the years. I resent very few, because I choose to remember the good times. I choose to remember the good that came from that friendship/relationship. So, whether near or far, its important for us to be grateful for all those people that have been part of our journey and part of this adventure we call life.

Perfectly Content

Its funny how life changes us. Once upon a time, I wanted nothing more than to be the center of attention. Then I dabbled in some illegal activities which taught me the importance of blending in and fading into the background. I got out of that, fairly quickly, and without too many life altering consequences. Part of me craved that attention again and in seeking it out, I was once again reminded why I’m so much better off keeping my head down and keeping to myself. People that get close to me will see that little attention craver inside me, but as a whole…I prefer to keep to myself. To my therapist’s dismay, I do not socialize at all in real life. I prefer the comforts of my computer and being able to exit quickly. Even in Second Life I can spend days, even weeks pretty much alone…and I have. Not so much lately, but over the last few years. So, when social distancing and quarantines were causing the rest of the world to go insane, my life remained exactly the same. Other than walking my dog, I have not left my house since March 17 and I won’t leave until that’s the only way for me to get therapy. For now, I’m perfectly content staying at home.

Be Kind

Wanna believe, wanna believe
That you don’t have a bad bone in your body
But the bruises on your ego make you go wild, wild, wild, yeah
Wanna believe, wanna believe
That even when you’re stone cold, you’re sorry
Tell me why you gotta be so out of your mind, yeah

I know you’re chokin’ on your fears
Already told you I’m right here
I will stay by your side every night

I don’t know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love

Settle Down

Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave (wave) is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m gonna make this place your home

Settle down, it’ll all be clear
Don’t pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Hazardous is Back!

I’m so excited that the Hazardous sim is open again. As soon as I realized it had reopened, I was there and shooting this photo. This sim has been my favorite place in Second Life for years. While it was closed, I was so sad. It’s a great place for me to go and just meditate. I just feel so at peace here and its absolutely gorgeous. If you’ve never been, I urge you to visit. You might even see me there.♥

Say yes to this dress

I’m not big on dressing fancy. I think that’s pretty obvious if you look at my flickr. However, I’m obsessed with this new dress from Tetra. First of all, its not a gown. So, I can dress super glam and still show off my legs. You can adjust the level of sheer, so that its not sheer at all or varying degrees. I’ve got mine as sheer as it will go and I’m not wearing the accompanying panties, but those are also an option. It really is the perfect date night dress. No matter where your date takes you, you’ve got it covered. OH, I almost forgot, there are straps. String straps, they are delicate and very pretty. They criss cross in the back. Another option that you’ve got to love. I’m not showing them here, but they really add something special to a bare back. This is one time I will eagerly say yes to the dress!

Science Experiment

Sometimes I think that Earth is a giant petri dish or a science experiment conducted by aliens. We’ve surely gone awry. I think that David Bowie must have thought so, too.

There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I think I might be sinking

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there’s a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that they’re all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I’ll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
To find a queen without a king;
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
La la la la
Side a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin’ to find a woman who’s never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it’s not as hard, hard, hard as it seems
~ AMY LEE – “Going To California” by Led Zeppelin

Calm Down

You are somebody that we don’t know
But you’re comin’ at my friends like a missile
Why are you mad?
When you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark age
Just makin’ that sign must’ve taken all night

You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate
‘Cause shade never made anybody less gay

~ Taylor Swift – You Need to Calm Down
