I can’t believe it, but I just had my 14th rez day… that’s right, 14… and I wouldn’t even have known it had a friend not wished me a Happy Rez Day. It’s funny how that happens… I remember having a huge party for my 1st rez day, and more intimate celebrations on my 2nd and 3rd. Every year after that, they just became less and less important, until they generally passed without notice. The fact that I did become aware this year caused me to step back and reflect a bit on all the changes I’ve experienced here inworld… not just in the interface and the world itself, but for me myself. I’ve been with the same wonderful man here for 13 of those 14 years, so you might think how many changes could there have been, but in looking back over our photo album (and yes, you can definitely see us age and mature!) and searching my memories, I realize how much I’ve changed and grown, just as in real life. Second Life doesn’t represent the same things to me any more as it did in the beginning. I still shop and go dancing and spend a lot of time decorating and landscaping, but I’ve been blogging for several years now as well as being a blogger-manager, and having work inworld does change the experience. I would have to say that most of my friends are now bloggers, blogger-managers, and designers, as opposed to those I used to hang out with for music and dancing. A more recent change is that I’m now splitting a lot of my time between fae and human, trying on different “attitudes” when creating my look of the day… creating even more of a split personality than I had when I was blogging a lot of heads lol! I’ve also noticed how special it feels when I run across someone else who has been in here as long or even longer than I have… it’s true, there aren’t that many of us, and I think the key to being a long-term resident is that very change and growth… you need to evolve, or else SL (and life itself, for that matter) stagnates and becomes stale, boring, and deadly. And on that note, I’m off to explore and shop my little heart out. After all, it IS my rez day week! Happy shopping to you as well…
