I'm leaving the other journal entry up.
I undeleted my account in SL. I have just decided to ignore those that make me feel awful.
I don't understand this about me: why do I always let people (especially those that were close friends) ruin my enjoyment of something? They shouldn't matter THAT much, and it gives them power over me they have no right to.
They were all beautiful, once. I'll treasure the sweet memories and forget about the ones that cause grief.

So, I am back enjoying my Second Life, without a few people, and I do feel better ... I remember being a newbie back in the old days of my first (and this current) account, just bumbling around and seeing where I'd end up and what I'd see when I got there. I'm back to doing that now, alone, and it's fun. When I wanna be around people, I'll go clubbing. (^_^)

I love being able to explore the creations of others in relative safety and from the comfort of my own home. The things people build in there are so amazing, even if they recreate something that's mundane in the real world, such as a microwave or a bowl of fruit.

However, I am still done with showing pictures of things in-world; my heart's just not in it right now. We'll see what comes next. And even though I am back to enjoying things, SL isn't as big a part of my life as it used to be. I think that was the main problem.
