In The Night Garden

Just a sweet look for a month's end composed of a lot of great items I have snagged at various events around the grid. Most are still going strong, some end in the next few days, so don't wait to get out there and visit while the crowds are thinning and the shopping is lag free and stress free at the same time. Among my favorite events are My Attic at The Deck, where everything is less than $100L, and the Cosmetics Fair Beach Party, where you can change up your whole look with some brilliant little additions to your favorite skins. I love discovering new to me content creators, and both events are full of wonderful examples of new content and new to me brands. Happy end of the month shopping day everyone!

How I Live Now

I am feeling rather lost lately, not in the sense of not knowing where I am, but rather in not knowing where I am going. I feel disconnected and isolated so much of the time, and find myself withdrawing farther from others all the time. It isn't what I ever planned for myself, not where I saw my life going, but it is what it is.  I know things can get better, I know they might, but not without effort.  When I am in Second Life I can pretend to be someone else, I can dress up like I have somewhere to go, but most of the time even I know it is an act. My true self is hidden behind costumes and cutesy looks that I would never pull off anywhere else. This look is different, it somehow echoes deeper in my heart and soul. It resonates with who I have been and who I am still. This is how I live now.
