Trying With All That Is In You -- TBCF 1mm, 7 Deadly s{K}ins, [ME], AIDORU, Axix Animation, shine by [ZD], Kaithleen's, ~Shabby Cat

**Special thanks to jan1 Ying aka Jan Bacon for joining me so I could take the pairs pose photographs.

As I watch a variety of reality television programs, I'm most often drawn to those that emanate a genuine sense of reality. I know that behind the scenes, many so called real shows are orchestrated to follow a loose script, planned and sometimes a scene occurs that producers end up redoing to make it better or more believable. More believable than reality?

Some of these shows seem to test endurance while others appear to provoke passion. Depending on the type of show, people from all walks of life end up finding their way to that one moment that may make or break them; and find that one moment where they have to give everything.

I know very little about the Real World show that supposedly kickstarted America's hunger for reality television, but I do know a little bit about a lot of the ones that have ensued. I know you can search for love, find a millionaire matchmaker, have your tea leaves read, live in a house with countless strangers, eat peanut butter for a week as 'punishment' and feel as though you're dying of boredom.

Are you the best dancer? The best cook? Is your passion singing? What is it that you've always wanted to do with your life but never thought you would have the chance? Dreams are valuable. I think without them, we'd live a very uneventful life. If a dream cannot reach fruition, however, it can hurt to the core.

What are you going to be when you grow up? This question pops up along life's journey for every person in every corner of the world. It likely begins with life's first steps and doesn't cease until we die. I know at my age, I still have a sense of "When I grow up, I'm going to..."

Certain fields of interest may be easier than others to follow. Some take huge sacrifices of time, of money, of love, of endurance and ultimately even with all that has been sacrificed, no guarantee exists that you actually end up doing that singular thing that you've wanted to do all your life.

I love to watch the family members reactions most of all on these type of shows. They know how much their loved one has put into that single moment. Fathers, sisters, aunts and grandparents devoted their time as well to this moment. When I see their eyes light up, the pride shining, I'm more touched than words could say.

Positive energy seems to envelope some of these shows while pure raw evil takes over on others. If it's too intensely ugly, I do not continue to watch. I have a really great box full of noise cancelling ear buds. When positive energy comes through the screen and touches me, I feel something special, as if I were right there next to those beaming family members.

Sometimes my journey through Second Life feels like I'm living out a role on reality television, and my goals are high. I do not compete with others, however. I prefer competing with myself. I want to grow more capable daily. At first, modeling and fashion were a distraction. Now this is something that I try with all that is in me... to succeed.
