Bring me a dream.

Pose :   Sari-Sari - Sleep (bento) @ The Seasons Story

On facebook today & yesterday someone on my feed was asking whether it's usual for people in SL to just go "ghost" without warning. Apparently, they had been in a relationship with someone, and everything seemed happy... when they just didn't return.

This has happened to me more than once, as I expressed in her thread. But honestly, is it that much different from going on a few dates with someone for real, and having them ignore your texts and calls and never seeing them again? 

I'm not legitimizing this kind of behaviour... in fact, it's utterly contemptible in my book. I am however, surprised that it surprises people.

SL is used by many for a fantasy outlet. Then there are a few people who believe SL & RL correlate in some way, but aren't directly connected and finally, there's the Secondlife equates to me in RL group. I believe it's important when engaging in any type of relationship to find out which group your new friend belongs to.

Of course, it's far more complicated than just the three groups I have listed. There's no reason why you can't dip your toes contentedly into all three at the same time, or have friendships and relationships with people within all of those sectors. I do think that those you connect with -usually- tend to be those who think in similar terms as you do, but of course, there are going to be those who want to 'play games'. Some people are playing the game because it gives them some odd sense of power and others are playing the game unwittingly, usually because they're insecure and are pretending to know what they want, while not having a clue as to who they really are.

Ultimately, it's like everything. If you don't take a chance, you'll never know what might be.

And if you do take a chance, you need to be prepared to get hurt and learn to move on from it.

My details today are very brief, but I hope you manage to find some treasures from them! This Miss Chelsea set is fuggin' amazing, and i'm not even sorry I've blogged it twice in two days and worn it out already - and Epiphany hasn't even begun yet!

Pose : Sari-Sari - Follow (bento)

Location : It's one of the Baja Beaches, but I forget which one. 

When this gorgeous dress popped up, I immediately had thoughts of instagram hand-holding pictures, with flowing everything, and all I could think about was a beach. I know it's not necessarily the season for beaches, but balls to it. It's pretty, ok?

I've been using the Black-Dragon viewer for a while to take pictures. I don't really have an understanding yet, but I feel like with each photograph I take I learn something new, which is amazing! I would use it constantly, but it's a WASD movement thing and that still hurts my head, despite my recent foray into Ark, so generally, I pop on for a picture fiddle with the graphics stuffs and then pop it off before I throw things at my computer.

I'm still trying to edit a little more things every day too, while keeping the photograph "SL" quality. Part of me would love to do ALL the fancy things, and I'll possibly fiddle with those things at some point, but I figure that 75% of SL peoples would like to see items as they appear in world. 

I'd like to also point out that it's very rare that I cover up clipping issues in pictures. I much prefer to edit my shape or wear items that genuinely work together in world... However, if I ever take the time to learn how to draw hair, I think I might explode with happy there'll be 12 million pictures with all the fake hair, everywhere!
