It's a girl thing

Some girls like to wear make-up, paint their nails and wear high heels.
Others would rather grab old jeans, trainers and go play on a skateboard.
Some girls buried their head in a book, 
Others have their heads in a cloud,both dreaming.
Some girls spend their days as teachers, nurses, mothers....
Others are plumbers, builders, traders.....
There is is much a girl can do, no one box fits all.
Many of us are a mix of a few of these things.
What matters is supporting each other as we find the path we belong on.

Doing it

I am happy, hurting and healing at the same time.

Don't ask me how I'm doing it 

because I don't know,

but I am doing it

Trust

......and don't even know if i want to kiss your lips or just your skin

because I'm falling

but i don't want to hit the ground again.

Are you sure your arms can hold the weight of my love when it's wrapped in wet clothes?

and are you sure it's the best idea to take this where the wind goes?

I'm not yet sure if love is a real thing

it's just a beautiful, fictional, deadly, play,

and you still kiss me like I'm sane.

I know it's all just another game

so don't be surprised if i refuse to participate.

You're like a cynical, patronising, inconsiderate, impartial, callous, song,

Your vicious words still gently drag me along.

and I'm not sure if you're really toxic

or it's just all in my head.

because 

I love you

........or maybe i love when you're in my bed.

I wait by your window, 

hoping you look out.

hoping you forgive me.

I long to be with you,

hoping you invite me in.

Inspire me .....

You ever seen a post from a blogger who is struggling to be inspired ?. We all hit that roadblock at times. We might have great things sitting in folders, there might be amazing things we can buy and use. There could even be fantastic poses and even better, poses that comes with props. Still, to get that working on screen so it looks good and different from all the other pictures  that have come before, it can be hard at times. Other times the ideas are coming so fast it is a rush to get one idea snapped so the next one can get lined up. 
Its all abit like painting a picture - sometimes we paint a flower, other times its the whole garden.

More animals, less humans

''The more I see from people the more I rather be around animals.''
I used to think that in RL but more and more I am feeling it in SL too. Now dont get me wrong, I know many great people in SL. Shame it is the cruel, abusive SLers that shout the most and we hear from more often. I find it peaceful to be around SL animals almost as much as I find being around animals in RL. Now just to get a RL garden to be like this and I will be happy - or I will want more, after all us humans always want more. 
Anyway, I need to stop moaning like this, been going on to much lately.

Just Stop

Girl, get ahold of your life. 

Stop medicating, stop hiding out, stop being afraid, 

stop giving away pieces of yourself, 

stop saying you can't do it. 

Stop the negative self-talk, 

stop abusing your body, 

stop putting it off for tomorrow or Monday or next year. 

Stop crying about what happened 

and take control of what happens next.

Get up, right now,

Rise up from where you've been,

scrub away the tears and the pain of yesterday,

and start again....

As the main point of this picture is the foxes and the crumbling stone build, I have not listed anything but them. This is not what I normally do but as the grasses  was layer upon layer from different stores it is far to random. What I love about the ruin is that there are 4 parts you can use as a setting in a garden or sim. It is fantastic for those who build. Anyone who has looked near this blog before knows I love using animals in pictures, they bring life to it all. Rezz Room is my latest obsession. They are amazing at making animals and I am hoping to see much more from them soon.

Channeling my inner ''Izzy''

I know folks think I'm quite eccentric

With all these cats I've got

They're inside - outside - everywhere! 

I have to admit - there's alot! 

So they call me 'Crazy Ol' Cat Lady'

And who can say what else? 

But I don't mind - I really don't

I live very well with myself

It wasn't me who moved away

Or dumped my cat to die

Who never heard those cries of hunger

Or saw those frightened eyes

I'm the one who took them in

When they were all alone

Crazy person that I am

I gave them all a home!

Don't be the reason........

I often sit on a Saturday and wonder who will get a kicking tomorrow in that hateful secrets page. It is so cruel and nasty yet popular and used so much. If you have a problem with someone, talk to them about it. If you don't like a person then block them. Don't like a store, just don't shop at it. don't like and event then just don't go. Just don't post to that bloody site as an anonymous person. Have the balls to put your name to it. Better still - keep your mouth shut, hands of the keyboard and get on with making your own life awesome and not wasting time on how to destroy someone else. It says more about you that it ever will about them. We are all in SL for a reason, never let you be the reason for someones pain.

To warm to sleep

“Where are you going now my love? 

Where will you be tomorrow? 

Will you bring me happiness? 

Will you bring me sorrow? 

All the questions of a thousand dreams, 

what you do and what you see”
