I still cannot express how much the SL community changed me, gave me courage to create, inspired me to discover new things, gave me confidence to share my true self...

You are lovely

That was beautiful!! I know I have a similar experience, and definitely without plurk and people I've met here, I'm not sure where I'd be

I opened up about my miscarriage literally while it was happening here on Plurk, and the support I received lifted my spirit in the midst of a tragedy in a way I'll never forget.

Nivaya: <3333

mechadollie: thank you so much! I completely agree...I would probably still be hiding.

RoslinPetion: thank you so much! <3

chroniclesofaya: aww girl thank you! <3

Grixdale: you have NO Idea what that means to me. oh man! <3 thank you for sharing that.. ughh <333 thank you!

Grixdale: HAHAA!!!

Same, I always think of you when I wanna get out there and do something different lolol

mechadollie: at this point im crying. <3

At some point years ago some doof was trolling you on plurk. I don't even know what it was about. I didn't know you then.

But I belligerently friended you because of that.

You are good energy and you attract good energy.

boyo: AHHH thank you!! I love that haha!! yeah there was a time when a few trolls were devoted to all kinds of discouraging things, but honestly even that pushed me forward!

Grixdale: that truly means the world to me. I wish I could hug you IRL right now!! SUPER TIGHT! i needed those words today!!

trentrassir: <3

people need to stop judging people who are attached to those who are far away / dedicate time to soulmates online, i'm not really open person about my feelings , but plurk and sl still helps me more to

get out of my cave and do not be afraid to express what is inside me, thank you for great post

mrsknelstrom: YES. YES A MILLION TIMES.

btw i'm glad you went so far with your blog, I'm following it on fb i still hope you will come back to soapmaking one day

mrsknelstrom: thank you so muchh! HAHAA oh man, I stopped making soap when I moved into a teenie apartment and had to get rid of all my supplies!!! I do miss it though

Grixdale: yes!! She is no longer my SIL, so we don't have that anymore but maybe I will get back into it again now that I've moved to Nashville and have a rental house with a bit more space than my lex apt had

rIt is so amazing to see how open you write about everything I tfind it truly inspiring.

EmmaG: I could not keep it for myself, I still miss your sl store! But I completely understand it

I am totally in the same boat with Tyr. I love seeing what you're up to on IG and it always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. The stuff about RISE was just ufffffff

Everytime I see something you're doing or think of you it makes me so happy and I totally agree with what you said on insta.

Kota: aww girl thank you so much! <3 I miss youuuuu

I MISS YOU TOO

Lovely post. I do tend to think of Social Media as mostly destructive, but you make a wonderful point.

so well said! great things can come from what others find destructive. it all depends on how its used & how much it controls you. miss your creations inworld, but love following you on IG & your blog!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I, too, am glad for the small sl/plurk circle I've gotten to know and who has seen me go through some major ups and downs and still encourages me.

I think of you often and hope you are well <3
