Toxic Monsters

Are you one of those people that can flit through life without any care or concerns, trying to keep yourself smiling and without problems? Are you one of those people that seems to find yourself stuck in a rut, facing difficulties and wanting the world to stop? Do you live for drama and toxicity or are you happier when you can be left alone to enjoy some peace? I know that everyone is different and everyone has their own way of handling things, for me personally I'm an over-thinker, I have terrible anxiety and worry constantly about letting people down. It's a toxic, viscious cycle sometimes, and it's one that I'm trying hard to break free from... 

I am one of those people that over-thinks, over worries, and gets anxious about a lot of things, though perhaps unless you knew me really well you'd NEVER know that... I'm definitely not the only one with these feelings, they seem to becoming more and more predominant these days, but we all seem to have to our own ways of dealing with these emotions. I'm one of those people that aims to distract myself by reading or taking pictures in Second Life to make things become less focused on the bad, toxic feelings... Sometimes though my mood will guide my creativity... Today things are a little bit of a toxic monster...

What will the Future think?

The Celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee were bright and fun and perfect to show thanks to Queen Elizabeth II during the concert at the palace last night. I'm not a royalist, but she's given her life to supporting the country, and has been through so much as a guide for our nation... Now one of the reasons I'm talking about it, is because I was inspired with a section that they shared on the environment, it got me thinking about what we'd be leaving for the future... 
My mind was racin... A story came to life...   

As a lover of all things Mermaid, my mind went straight to "what would a mermaid from the future think of the seas we're creating?" You hear so often of the garbage that is being dumped into the oceans every year - I know that it's not just oceans being polluted but in this case that's what I'm thinking about more... 
In the Mermaid's Cove - available from Synnergy as a gorgeous backdrop - one of the Cyber Cove Mermaids - from Decoy at Cyber Fair - of the future has returned... Swimming through the waters, dodging the trash and wearing her oxygen tank to Just Breathe since the water is now toxic. 
I'd hate to know what they would be thinking about the state of the oceans...

A Dance in the Moonlight

I wanted a little magic today, it's King's Day in the Netherlands and it's a day that hasn't been celebrated properly since the out break of Corona over two years ago. It felt like magic to watch the people be able to enjoy the day as they always have... 
I think that somewhere the magical beings were smiling down, watching the people enjoy the festivities and for once enjoy a little peace in the country I call home. Now that the day is done, the magical beings have decided to enjoy the party too... There will be a party in the clouds, and the moon will like the ballroom... 

At the Aeonian - a backdrop from FOXCITY - the Moon Chairs - from Neverwish - have been plumped with extra pillows for those that have tired, dancing feet...

Dressed in the attire of the moon guardians, a gorgeous Balika Dress - from Salt & Pepper - while her Beata Halo - from Evil Baby at The Warehouse - and her "Lunatic Enchantment" Moon Crystal - from PANIQ - sparkle in the moonlight.

Guests in Space

In the past few days I kinda retreated into myself, I know it sounds silly but the low numbers that my last post got on Flickr made me very much doubt what I was doing as a blogger - silliness I know, since I always do it for myself and if other people like it then that's great - but I found myself drifiting away from the prettiness and heading into a sci-fi territory that I normally avoid. I LOVE the stars and planets - my SL house is full of them as decor - so I wanted to be amongst them, at least until the ship I was in had a visit from a visitor... 

While chilling out in my Space Bunker - a backdrop from Synnergy - I was just spending some time snuggling up with some of the space kits that live in the bunker... Suddenly the warning lights in the ship started to flash, the sirens started to sound and then BAM! A HUGE tentacle appeared on the window of my bunker cabin... 
I ran from that bunker and I won't be looking back... Telling myself it's a large octopus, so I don't even have to think of the alternative... Running away from what is scaring me so that I can focus on what is good for me!

Now that I´ve made many changes in my SL, I´m finding that I have more time to do things that I forgot I enjoyed like exploring and taking part in random fun things in SL... 
I forgot how much fun it is to find these new things, and although it´s not new, I had so much fun at the Linden Lab´s Palaeoquest trying to beat the quests... It was like a day at a themepark, but with Dinosaurs...

Champagne for Breakfast

Ugh sometimes you need to stop and restart the day again... Today is one of those days, connection issues to work made me worry I'd be forced to go in rather than have a lazy day in my pjs whilst working from home LOL... Still lucky that the tech guys at work are not only fast but sweethearts that are willing to help! 
So today it will be a leisurely, lazy day - in RL I will likely have a pj day, but in SL I'm going to take it easy and enjoy a little opulence! 

Such a lovely word, Opulence, but what does it truly mean? Well anything luxurious or of great wealth apparently, and I think I found the PERFECT place for that in SL, don't you? The Outer Garden has a collection of little scenarios like this one, all beautiful but all slightly different, and this one simply screamed luxurious wealth at me! So I decided to become a lady of Opulence myself and dressed for the role!!
With my favourite pair of boots - HOLLYHOOD by the way - I went for something a little grand but still Rudhish hehe... At a recently passed round of Fifty Linden Friday, Foxes released some amazingly adorable things that screamed perfect for Autumn! The Sweater Dresses in their autumn hues are soft looking, and snuggly, even though they are short, and when I added the Faux Fox Stole in a slightly darker chocolate brown I was more than a little pleased! 
All I need now is for someone to show up with a cup of tea, ooooh or for a little more opulence, champagne!?!
