The Heart Wants What It Wants

"Some words remain, though years have worn their sound,

like daggers lodged too deep within the heart.

They never twist, they never pull away,

but linger there, a whisper in the dark,

a wound unclosed, a shadow breathing near.

No matter where you turn, they echo back,

the syllables that cut and left their scar,

a voice that lingers long after it's gone.”

― Shahid Hussain Raja

The Heart Wants What It Wants

~ Selena Gomez ~

"There's a million reasons why I should give you up

But the heart wants what it wants..."

-Lyrics

Hello Beautiful World!

And a happy Thursday to everyone. ;)

HaHaHa, hear me laugh, not because I've finally gone insane, but because now, I seriously

find it funny how heartbroken I would feel every time a boy would break my heart.

It seriously felt like the end of the world, and I thought that the pain would last forever.

Now I can look back and wonder what was I thinking with some of the love choices I 

made in the past. That was mistake numero uno, being attracted to the wrong men.

Now, I am not saying that every single ex of mine was a loser, not at all. I was lucky to find a few

decent guys who swept me off my feet. But for one reason or another, things just didn't work out

with them. Thank God for that, or else I wouldn't have found my Steppenwolf.

But anyway, when we go through a heartbreak, it really hurts like hell, but we won't die from that,

though it feels like we are, or we wish we would. But no no no, we are too precious to let heartbreaks kill us.

Cry, scream, and kick if we need to. And then just wait, and wait, and wait, and... and wait. 

♥ Healing Takes Time. ♥

One day, we wake up feeling super and ready for round two, just not with the same person...

I hope. :P  By round two, I mean giving ourselves another chance, or as many chances as we need to take

to find our other half in the world. We all have one for sure. ;)

I leave you now with a very happy HaHaHa and hope you are HaHaHa'ing together with me

because life is beautiful, and love, my friends, is the greatest!

Take care, everyone.

What Falls Away

"Wherever you may find yourself- on the edge of a sunset, on the beams of a sunrise,

Balance is knowing when to hold on, and when to let go.

What ends, be it painfully or peacefully, is just a preparation for something new;

A rebirth, the magical seeds of a fresh perspective coming forth

We are all a story of endings and beginnings; a complexion of ego and soul,

love and pain, flowers and vines, fire and water, earth and air.

So don't fear what falls away.

Beyond, in unseen places from far out traces, there is something more wondrous

in preparation to come your way.

Darling one,

A heartbeat, the destiny of a new beginning is far too enticing to ever fear an ending."

― Christine Evangelou

Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like there's nobody listening,

And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Pretty Baby

~ Alex Sampson ~

Hello Beautiful World!

Earlier today, I visited the current round for the Collabor88 Event and spotted Kiru (Kiruluvtsn),

{:A:} designer. And as always, I get so excited every time I run into one of our great Second Life

designers. I decided to take her picture, but she poofed away in the blink of an eye before I even got to

say hello or for her to appear completely rezzed on my lens. DANG IT! Still, I was able to take the

following picture; the raccoon's eyes are my camera's fault. She is adorably cute in person. ;)

After that paparazzi fail on Kiru, I made a quick stop at Tempura Island looking for potential victims,

I mean, great people to photograph, and I was very lucky to find a group of gentlemen as soon as I

arrived. I'll introduce them to you either later today if I don't get too lazy, or tomorrow for sure.

So today's song, Pretty Baby, comes from Canadian singer/songwriter Alex Sampson (21 years old)

who appeared in the 19th season of America's Got Talent (semi-finalist).

Lost & Found

The journey ended in the middle of nowhere.

Dust in the wind. 

Leaving a trail of burned rubber behind.

Baby One More Time

- The Marías -

I find myself lost, with no visible road to guide my way back.

Only a mixture of smoke and dust remains as a sign that just minutes ago,

four wheels carried me across this isolated and forgotten land.

"Let me close my eyes and carry me to where you wish me to be."

This I had asked

"Let it be a surprise."

And now, I had arrived. Let me stay... let me be lost.

Hello Beautiful World!

What you just read above is not intended to be sad or scary. Being lost is not always a bad thing.

Being lost brings forth discovery. And discovery brings forth growth. Wouldn't you agree? ;)

Have a great day!

Organizing Nerido

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

I had been working for more than three weeks in organizing my Nerido folder in my inventory,

taking pictures of every single item that I own by this brand and finally, I finished

it last night. I found packages that had never been opened from almost five years ago. It was like 

Christmas in August. However, I am a little bit sad because I realized many items are missing.

How do I know this? Well because of all the Nerido blog posts I did when I was still collaborating with

Lina Nerido (Owner & Designer). I am hoping to find them in one of the many boxes I have where I

store those items that I do not wear much or have already been blogged.

Here are some of the Nerido blog posts I wrote. And here is my Nerido inventory.

So this will be the first designer I have a complete record of.

One designer down, one hundred more to go! :P

Now, do you recognize the lady in the photo displayed behind me?

Anyone? No? You in the yellow shirt? Anyone? No?

You sillies, it's yours truly, ME!

That picture is from waaaaaay back in the year 2018. Yes, it is that old and it still stands

not just on one wall at Nerido's Mainstore, but on many of the walls throughout the whole store.

What a beautiful honor I tell you. I almost feel beautiful and special. ;)

By the way, there is a whole bunch of group gifts to collect with a fee I believe of 200L to join

the group but trust me, these are high-quality items (Pictures Below). Here, you can read the blog post I wrote

back in 2018 where the picture behind me was featured. There's a whole bunch of other pictures

there and a quote/poem at the beginning that I wrote that I really liked. Hope you have some time to

go and check it out.

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your time from the bottom of my heart.

It means the world to me. Much love and happiness my beautiful people.

Over & Out.

♥
