♥Life Update♥

 Wow, hello, everyone!

I don't know where to start because so much has been happening. It's a roller coaster of emotions everywhere, happy ones! though don't worry.

 

So we got home from Fiji on the 14th of August 2022. It was such a fantastic experience and a fantastic vacation. I can't wait to do it again.

If you want to know more about the Fiji vacation, please visit my traveling blog.

But just because we got home does not mean we haven't had spontaneous vacations, even road trips to Norway(yes, in second life)

we have been doing so much stuff that I have a backlog of blogging!

I am so crazy happy about it,

*Trying to gather my thoughts*

Well, I should tell you I now live in a mansion and add a place called the Grove. It's a very, very luxurious community with gorgeous rentals.

If I remember correctly, you rent the plot itself. It does not come with the house, as far as I know.

My husband Gabe took me there to show me around and have a little one-on-one time.

When I saw the whole place, I was floored by the meticulous attention to detail in the landscaping. It is literally like walking around in a storybook.

You must come to this place if you love photography.

Now that I'm sitting here thinking about it, it reminds me of the beauty and the beast.

Gabe and I walked around for a bit, but then we decided to take out our horses just to let them "stretch."

I was so floored that I kept saying wow, wow, wow, Gabe must have thought I had lost my vocabulary at some point.

I teared up a little bit while looking around.

After riding around for a bit, Gabe stops me and asks, "would you like to live here?"

My jaw dropped, and I just said, "have you seen the prices of the rentals, baby?"

He just said, "yes, I have now answer my question. Would you like to live here?"

I looked into his eyes and said, "Yes, I would."

Not long after this, My husband David came home from work. I immediately got into his IM box and started telling him about the Grove.

He smiled and said, "yes, baby Gabe told me you guys are there."

David continued, "I am sneaking up on a property as we speak."

I knew then there was no point in convincing them not to rent.

Let me make one thing: it is not cheap to live here, so if you don't have the wallet for it, don't try it.

After getting help with rentals and the land groups, it was off to house hunt.

All three of us or very, very particular, so Needless to say, it was an enjoyable experience.

It didn't take as long as I thought it would take to choose a house we all liked.

 

Placing down the house and most of the decorations were done by my husband David because he has an extensive inventory, even more, extensive than mine when it comes to furniture and décor.

It didn't take long to settle in, feeling like this was home to all of us.

The Grove staff even offer to decorate help mainly for the outside, but I am very, very happy with how it looks, although some of the pieces I wish I could send back to the staff, we are not allowed to, which I can also understand.

Now to what seemed to be on everybody's mind at the moment:

Why have I "changed so much?"

Let me try to put this into words for you (Which is harder than you think)

The short answer is it's easy to be yourself in every possible way when you get the freedom to.

For those who don't like my lifestyle:

I don't care.

My life is not your life to dictate. I am right where I'm supposed to be. More importantly, I am right where I WANT to be. I am fulfilled in every possible way that you can think of.

I might come across as a Bitch, But I would rather be a bitch with queen status than never speak my mind again.

♥It's a love story, baby just say yes.♥

 

In about 24 hours, I will be sitting on a plane in second life with my partners on our way to Fiji!

It feels so strange to say, but I have never in my 12 years of second life traveled somewhere; yes, I have been staying at a hotel which was going to be short-term for me but ended up being very long term, so I don't see that as a vacation.

Using the word excited would be an understatement at this point. I am so pumped up for this trip that it's probably ridiculous, but I don't even care.

 

I have gone through so much this year, both mentally and physically, so this trip means a lot to me even though it's in second life.

To be able to go on this trip with the two people I love with all my heart is just the icing on top of the cake.

 

Before I met David and Gabriel, I didn't do much apart from photography and blogging; I was a hermit, to be honest with you.

I think the colossal reason is that I have been hurt so many times in the past 12 years that I just gave up on trying to do something in second life because most of the time, people would be telling me that I was crazy for doing second life the way that I do it.

And when I did fall in love with somebody, it ended up being only one-sided, coming from me and not from them.

So I've been so used to sticking my head down and working, not talking much to other people, not even trying to fall in love with somebody because, as I said, it has only been one-sided, so what's the point, right?

Here comes David and Gabriel, and what started as a beautiful friendship Has now blossomed into a solid relationship.

I was scared in the beginning because I realized that I was feeling more than just friendship for both, and these are feelings that I have never really felt before when it comes to second life.

The fact that both love me as much as I love them is new to me.

Nothing is strained between us. There's no drama between us. Everything flows naturally like we have been together for about ten years. I don't think that words can describe our relationship. It's just very romantic, loving, and caring.

I'm still terrified of losing them both, And I know they are frightened of losing me. It doesn't matter how often I keep telling them I'm not going anywhere.

So I'm hoping this trip can solidify everything. 

If you would like to follow along with everything we're going to be doing on this trip, please head over to my traveling blog, the scrapbooking travels of second life. I do have an adult content warning on that blog for now because I am not sure how I will write on the blog yet. I mean, I'm going to write the blog in the same manner as I always do. Still, I don't know what type of pictures I'm going to use or if I'm going to have a little bit of adult content on it or not, so that's why.

I will be back in full swing on the 15th!
