Someone once told me I lived in a fantasy world , I laughed so hard, I dang near fell off my fucking unicorn.

People often say to me OMG you've been in SL such a long time! Well SL helped me through a really rough time when I was 18 years old. In 2005, my boyfriend Mark, joined the military.
Mark went to Afganistan, then in September of 2006 his helicopter got shot down near Kabul, he never came home. That broke me, I was lost. ((blablabla another Sob story yes))

I discovered SL shortly after that, and it helped me get through that very difficult time, so SL has a special place in my life, and for that reason, I'm still here ! After 17 years I can finally post this without crying my eyes out, It still hurts.

Thank you to all my friends , strangers I've chatted with along the way, my sister for bringing me to SL, Second Life, Philip Rosedale & Linden Labs, I'm truly grateful for helping me heal.
It's been so much fun and I've done so much here.(after I got out of the prim wall I was stuck in all day on Nov 21,2006) SL is part of me , I may not be in SL as much these days , but I will always stop in ! Be kind to each other ...keep your head up and smile. :)

The following song link and lyrics, is a true representation of what I went through back then. If you know this pain, have a listen to it. Warning this song may make you cry ☹

LOST WITHOUT YOU, by Freya Ridings:

Standing on the platform, watching you go
It's like no other pain I've ever known
To love someone so much, to have no control
You said, "I want to see the world", and I said, "Go"

But I think I'm lost without you
I just feel crushed without you
'Cause I've been strong for so long
That I never thought how much I needed you
I think I'm lost without you

Strangers rushing past, just trying to get home
You were the only safe haven that I've known
Hits me at full speed, feel like I can't breathe
And nobody knows this pain inside me
My world is crumbling, I should never have let you go

I think I'm lost without you
I think I'm lost, lost, lost
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I think I'm lost without you, you
I just feel crushed without you

And I've been strong for so long
That I never thought how much I love you
Standing on the platform, watching you go
You said, "I wanna see the world", and I said, "Go"
