In Love With Love -- Featuring FINESMITH and Christmas Market Items by [CIRCA], AsMoOt, and Odelitte

Relationships on Second Life have a unique shelf life. Some of them work like a firecracker. One moment the various chemical elements realize they've met and found a good match and the very next minute, it's exploding into a wild array of color and sound.

Despite being argued, debated and ultimately come to an point with various friends at various times on this same subject, I conjecture that most of the relationships I've seen friends dip into were very much related to those fireworks, and the moment the sparkles happened, they shared a sense of lustful fun.

The thing is, with lust, it really is vivid, flashy and fun. All the energy in the world may be exchanged. You don't even really have to know the other person.

If you can and do take longer than ten minutes to get from point a to point firecracker exploding in the air, more power to you. However, what do you do after the sparks fly and the explosion occurs? Is there something even stronger than a temporary chemical trip that lends itself well to entertainment?

One of the great ironies to me continues to be in that aftermath. I'm not trying to be gender biased, but I have spoken to far more female friends at this point in relationships than males and males could have similar experiences or completely different ones. Let's assume I have some exposure to some women after some settings that leave them 'post firecracker' trying to define the relationship.

I hear the term 'love' bandied about a lot. I've decided that rather than being in love with Mr. Firecracker-Wow-Rock-My-World, it's far more likely that my friends who continue to seek the next big explosion really never intended to find love. I think it's far more likely that they're in love with the idea of love, but in the meantime, the firecrackers prove to be a perfectly good distraction.

A Little Sister Pestering -- Featuring Sky from Christmas Market Event, Also Kyxe Skins & Shapes, .::Shellac, and MADesigns

So how do I see myself in this modeling and fashion world. Last year, when I first began writing my blog, it was late April, and I had a huge moment of self doubt, erased the first 7 or 8 posts on my blog and was going to wait a while. A good friend, who came to mean the world to me - Eve Express - nudged me not to give up on the blog thing and also hired me to work with and for her. I miss her!

I called myself a baby model, a model so green I had no idea what to do with myself and yet people inspired me and helped me and mentored me and gave me things to blog when I probably had no business doing it except the passion to learn and grow.

It can be very intimidating, wanting something so much and knowing no one. I wasn't going to stay in that place though. I wanted to reach out, get to know people and evolve. I remember the first time I met Ms. Ponchi. She did a favor for me, for Eve. Later, I met Mr. Frolic Juan Delgado and he helped with this and that. They both seemed larger than life.

Now here it is, over a year since I met those two, a year that was filled with joy and crushing failure, a year and a few days to pass 105, and to get certified with Miss Virtual World. What am I now? I'm sure in their ears, their IMs, their Facebook links, I'm the quintessential little sister, pestering, always asking a new question, advice, and being a nuisance. I know more people now, more people I can pester!

But honestly, I cherish these people who've invested in me. I AM at the little sister age. I think there are stages that many models pass through. Some stay and go through all of them, others only get their feet wet. It will take years, more than just this one, to get to a point where I feel like a grown up model, and the joy of that is, I'm glad for the journey! Live! Laugh! Love!
