Honestly I love Second Life for all it’s imagination and creative people. I’m a pretty creative person in my own right but not on the level of making things that are just crazy and animated. I do use it for what I am myself I think good at and becoming a character.
I don’t think anyone else on Second Life does this and I think that’s because it requires you to fully let go and not be self conscious in your space. But then I have always been like this since I was a kid. I would often disappear into different people dependant on the situations I found myself in. It kept me safe and sane over many years.
Not saying that I am sane mind you as some days I wake up and think “Good Lord Liz, who was that”. I just know that the crazy characters I display is part of me and part of something deeper within me.
I wanted to be an actress when I was younger and even went to NIDA in Sydney for a bit. Back then though I was modelling and trying to act but at that time I was painfully shy. Painfully. It was only living life and becoming a parent etc that I began to let go of that shyness and start to come out more. No one really knew I was shy as I have always come across as this confident person in my persona. That was part of life’s act.
Am I still shy? No not really, I am more a person who has like many, self confidence issues about various things but I am confident to stand in a room of people now and speak my mind and not accept something I know is absolute bollocks. Self confidence is another thing and that I have been working on and I know wont happen over night.
In the meantime today I am Harriet and discovering Tote!!!!
I hope you enjoy
