Autumn is Calling...

Our eldest baby Felice discovered butterflies out around home today in Belli saying they are new friends. Who am I to argue with such pleasant logic?

Thank you! That makes sense. I've never heard of this so wanted to be sure since I do like to make sure I'm following the rules.

Wednesday and I hanging out waiting for hubby. 😊

After reading this I'm a bit concerned about my Zooby daughter Wednesday that is an animesh baby. We have had her in our home for over a year now since even after reading the convenant thought she was allowed. This thread has me more confused than ever. She comes with a hud where we can send her offline once we've logged because we don't like leaving her by herself. Would this be considered the temp Rez deal? Please forgive my ignorance, I'm truly not understanding.

Pet peeve...when I awkwardly share a bit too much at times.

Oh I cannot believe this is the first I'm seeing of this thread! What a wonderful topic. I've always loved this song from Peter Cetera because it reminds me of my husband and I. I love the movie too so I'll share!

It is a really uplifting and sweet song so I can understand why. I'm a deaf singer so I've loved music ever since I was a small child. I understand what you mean. Between vibrations I feel and sign language, both take music to a deeper level for me filled with overwhelming and Earth shattering emotion. An enhanced understanding since although I can use my voice, BSL and ASL are an integral part of who I am since they are signed languages that connect me to others while English is only one sided for those that can hear.

That is the beautiful thing about Second Life though isn't it? The diversity where we can all express ourselves in ways we would never be able to in the real world. It is a safe place to explore, learn and grow.

I keep my social circle small because I have debilitating social anxiety that impacts me even here in Second Life. I'm not a person who can have acquaintances. It isn't how my brain works. My small circle consisting of my husband and three sisters I'm extremely close to. I'm moving to be with my husband in the next year and a half in real life. My sisters are longtime bestfriends. It isn't roleplay for us at all. We just have a beautiful family dynamic naturally in both worlds. My husband and I became parents in Second Life because I cannot have children in real life and it was always a dream of mine to be a mother. This isn't roleplay for me either. They are just my beautiful daughters. I've been so blessed with my small circle. ❤️ I'm the same person in both worlds even to the point I made my avatar look like the rl me besides my elf ears and fairy wings at times in SL. Shy, soft spoken unless I really have something to say and petite. What you see is what you get. Hubby and I both used to roleplay years ago, but there was always a very distinguishing separation of my roleplay character and myself. I was on a roleplay sim and in character. Now I just enjoy being in my quiet life of family, dancing, sailing, amateur photography, blogging, shopping, spiritual community and the odd time when I still sing inworld. Oh! I'm also the same person on the forum here too! I would feel strange trying to put on some persona. It would feel unnatural. I'm...boring I guess is the best way to describe me.

Can I just say you seem a very genuine and kind person Silent? I have so much respect how you express yourself here. I don't know you well, but from what I see you're a pretty great person. I understand what you mean to an extent because I don't make friends easily. It can be difficult and frightening at times. Mine is from shy awkwardness. I'm so sorry you feel this way. I'm sorry to get off topic a bit, but just wanted to say that. *goes back to shyly sit and observe...*

Yep! I second that thank you!

Perfectly said. I'm so thankful there are people who can eloquently express what I cannot at times. Thank you for that.

My baby. 😊

It is a warm, safe and welcoming place where people new to Second Life could go to get help with anything from how to use an AO, how to unpack boxes or how to add clothing to your avi. They pretty much helped with anything a new resident could need help with including the social aspect of Second Life. They also have freebie items to help people get started and landmarks of interest they can give out when residents feel they want to explore. I spent my entire first month between The Shelter and Faery Crossing (when Faery Crossing was still a starting area we could choose to begin in.) The people at The Shelter are volunteers who are extremely patient and kind. I remember my first time visiting there this nice guy actually went out of his way to ask why I wasn't interacting with others and standing in the corner like a tiny wallflower. They were having a dance there. I just honestly said I was scared and shy. He spent the next three hours of his time dancing and chatting with me. Answering any question I had. He was so kind and I don't even remember his name which at the moment rather breaks my heart in light of them closing. It was back in 2009. They are the most thorough and kindest welcoming committee for new residents. I don't know how they came into existence which also saddens me now, but I hope this helps @Syo Emerald. 😊

Just really missing my Dad today when this song came up on my playlist. Always reminds me of him since he was my angel.
