Getting a smile back ...

... or fake it until you make it

Sometimes one needs a break from the online life. My life was almost made of Second Life. Means my first one got way too less attention. So I took a break, a long one. It was hard not to blog any longer, hard to leave friends behind, friends I’ve missed every day. But the close ones knew how important it was for me, to just get back. Fake it until you make it, was the first part of my road. Getting up every day, ignoring the urge to log on and just forget the crap one has to deal with every day.

Two years have passed, and hell those were years. But, I made it out alive, stronger, better. I found myself, I found real life, friends, success. Everything we want in our life. Love and support, a purpose. I wanted to write a happy post, because that is how I feel. Positive thinking has brought me to where I am now, and that is a good place. I know right, that all sounds as if I am convincing myself, but this is just the beginning, everything needs a start.

When I decided, I am strong enough, and I got the time, I logged back on to SL. Friends welcomed me back, were happy to see me. My avatar looked as fabulous as always, and I felt right at home.  So after a few days, of getting used to the new stuff, I discovered that being happy in general, helps a lot.

Going out sailing was real fun again, and after a short while, I even met new people and had new fun. Better fun. Nothing is more lonely, but a lonely Second Life. I could go on and on about it, but I will have some pictures, telling the story.

First day of sailing, I just needed some time off, to enjoy one of my favourite spots at St. Martin Rainbow Cruise-Marina.

Time with Jaspar at the Vik Marina. Uggo outdid himself and made a really great spot, to start a trip or just to hang out for a coffee. Jasp craved a long black, I know that sounds somewhat funny, I got myself a huge Latte. Everyone who speaks German, knows how funny these two sound alike, and I will not share!

 After Haneru Qi and I met, we went on several dates. This was the second one, and we hit it off. Great trip on my SweetPea and some sweet moments, filled with conversation and laughter.

I will try to keep my positive attitude and write about things, in a bit different way. So welcome back life, welcome back Xsenia in Second Life!
