I guess I have always been a bit of a rebel, albeit a quiet one, I am one of those people that watch and learn.
Nothing wrong in that, but it can be a little isolating, I love to explore new things and learn new skills, for me SL is a learning process,rather than a social thing.
I used to be so naive and friendly, and got burned a few times, so its kind of sad that one of my main lessons is not to trust people in this virtual world.
We are all of course multi faceted beings, often hiding behind a mask of our own choosing, not only in SL but in RL. thats fine, as humans we are lucky to have that ability, what isnt fine is when we use that to mislead and undermine others. but thats just my opinion and morality.
Being quite a spiritual being helps my health and temper a lot, I try to make allowances for my own personal failings and others, I do often wonder if I live in some alternate reality at times though, or that my perception of both lives is a little strange.
I have few close friends in both lives, many aquaintances, but friends I count on one hand, not because I am not a friendly person, but because I like my personal privacy. I can party with the best of them and have done so frequently throughout life, but at some point I think each of us go through what I call a ahah moment, where suddenly we realise that there is so much more to our existence and so much more to explore of this vast universe than rushing out to buy the next new fad , be it in fashion, gaming, computers or i phone.
No I am not knocking those items, and yes they were at one point priority numero uno for me, until my ahah moment.
Having been brought up in an alternative way, it was a bit of a wild childhood, and for that I am eternally grateful. It just took a while for me to understand it.
I am not a religious person, in many ways that would be great, I could behave as badly as I liked, do my prayers for forgiveness and start all over again that would be so easy and for many it is a coping mechanism for life.
Yes I did say I was a spiritual one, there is a big difference, as always I have to go for the difficult option lol, but nothing that is truly valuable ever comes easy.
At present happily building a world within a world in SL, is keeping me in a state of ignorant bliss, I never was one for drama unless it is on a stage.
My journey through both lives continues,
May yours be a safe and happy one also,
Much love
Xia
