SL life and people are fickle :)

After a little bit of a torrid time on SL over the last few weeks or maybe even months, it has taken until now to realise and not without help from a good friend that my SL needs to take a little bit of a course correction.

Sometimes I think we can get so absorbed into what we think is the norm for SL that we suddenly become very blinkered. And like others no wants to feel their different or out of the ordinary to anyone else, me least of all.

Its funny really when you compare your life to that of others, what I mean that sometimes you hear about another persons life and its sounds so very like your own. This is going to a post that swings between RL and SL so please stick with me if I haven't already bored you to death lol

One such comparison would be between I myself and Stephen Fry, apart from the most obvious differences, he has wealth, I do don't, Hes has fame,  alas I don't and the sexual side, He is gay and I am not.. I have been reading or rather listening to his latest autobiography audio book, its strange when you hear some of the things he has found so enthralling or so inspiring that oneself has also seen and felt in the same manor or context. Not only that but even some of his own personal opinions are the same as my own, the same self depreciating nature and low self esteem. Couple that with the ability to always see the better in others than yourself it is almost un-canny how two people can be so different but have such a close opinion of one's own life, but search for the ability and desire to be successful but without wanting to make a big deal out of it.. But really inside look to have or seek the approval of others that you are in fact a success in your own right.

I must stop waffling on like this as if you have any desire or need to see or find out what I mean then I would strongly recommend the reading or listening of the book "the Fry Chronicles" By Stephen Fry ( Amazon Book Store )

"The Fry Chronicles" Stephen Fry

But needless to say that I have some re-thinking of how dare I say this carry myself in SL, for those who know me it many surprise people of the side of me, given what may appear a very self assured and flamboyant nature. Sadly that is not always the case but the mask sometimes that people wear to appear something that they're not.. That's not to say I don't like to have fun, dance do all the other stuff on SL, in fact that's something that I sometimes crave more than anything else. But that's the side I will focus on for the coming months, and maybe just maybe there will be a light along the way that will stand out and illuminate my path.

My next post will be of some of the nicer times that I have had over the last few days and I hope to see many more of.
