We seem to live in a world of scary times. Our economy is unstable…my personal life is unstable…jobs are unstable…SO many things that change and move and meld and crumble. It is scary for me! And in the middle of it all has been my precious virtual life, one of the the few things that gave me a feeling of security and pleasure…and now…it is scary and unstable too! I hear what everyone says…not to panic. And I will admit, I AM one of the first ones to do that. I wish it were not so…perhaps those of us that panic easily have had the rug pulled out from under us one too many times….or maybe we are just poor adjusters! I don’t know.
I know that SL is not the know all…be all..do all to virtual worlds. I know that if it were to dry up and blow away tomorrow…something better would come along…and we would all be glad that we were no longer stuck there! That is just the way things are…for as much as we moan and groan and cry…we humans ARE fairly adaptable. But as I sit here…on a precipice in my own life…very aware of all the adaptations I am about to make….I don’t need any more! I don’t WANT anymore. I just want to be somewhere where I can love you and be with you and finally be truly free. I don’t want to have to depend on all the variables of computers and electricity and cell phone failures. I don’t want to have to plug and unplug mics for you to be able to hear me…and I don’t want to have to find better cameras to see your bright shining face!
While I will ALWAYS be grateful for all those things….and especially for SL…since it led me to you, I still long for the day that I will be able to be in your arms and not have to be worried about SO many things that will be out of our control. For your love…that is the ONE constant in my life. It is the one thing that feeds me and keeps me alive. Thank you, love…for all you do and continue to do to make sure that we will have what we have been looking for all these years. Thank you for the many sacrifices you make to make my life a good one. Thank you for giving me the life that I always dreamed of and the love I always desired. And most of all…thank you for restoring my faith in humanity and in love…and for helping find “me” in the middle of it all. I am FOREVER yours….immer.
(And I don’t care what you say…”Women who are good bargain hunters are better at finding the perfect partner.”!!!!!)
Your adoring wife…..El
