What Was I Made For?




"I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know, but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?"
 
Dancing a beautiful dance to a beautiful song in a beautiful place...


"Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
Just somethin' you paid for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might"


"Mm, mm, ah
Mm, mm, mm

When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?"


"'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might

Think I forgot how to be happy
Somethin' I'm not, but somethin' I can be
Somethin' I wait for
Somethin' I'm made for
Somethin' I'm made for"


I never mind dancing by myself, I have done it so many times before.
Hello Beautiful World!
You still continue to be beautiful in my eyes. The sun still shines for me every day. The birds
still sing and the soft wind still feels mighty good and warm on my face.
Why wouldn't I still see you so beautiful?

While I was dancing today, I thought no one was watching me, but there was.
Cucuawe (londra95): No worries, just watching you dance :)
Cucuawe (londra95): is it ok?!?
Lori Novo: yes :)
Cucuawe (londra95): thank you

And he continue watching me dance in silence until it was time for me to keep moving.
It has never bothered me when someone watches me dance, it's been happening since my first year
in Second Life. I always seem to get spectators.

Today, while talking to my new friend Lysi (Lysistrata Szapira), she told me that it was brave
of me to display my true feelings publicly as I did in my latest Personal Update. It wasn't easy,
to be honest with you. It puts me in a very vulnerable position. However, I felt I just needed to.
I had never done something like I did that night, asking strangers for help. But I did it because I
I really didn't want to be alone in the sadness I was in. That update wasn't at all about what had
happened to me prior, it was about the negative, or no responses I got from all the people that I 
asked for help. I was feeling shocked to see that not a single person found it in their heart to
show some compassion to someone in need. I felt angry and disappointed.
What if it had been someone with a truly serious problem that had asked for help
and getting that help would be saving that person's life, like a last cry for help.
We need to be more compassionate to other people and make the time to help out when they
need a hand to hold theirs, an ear to listen to, or just to sit with them in silence so they'll know they
are not alone. What can possibly be more important than to help each other?

To be honest, after seeing that no one cared to answer my cry for help,
everything else that had happened before wasn't even in my head anymore.
It was the disappointment and the anger that took over after.
That night no one cared, but the next day Lysi after reading my post reached out to me and
offered me not only the companionship I had needed that night, but her friendship.
What a beautiful heart she has to go on to reach out to me and say, "You are not alone, I am here."
She truly restored my faith back in knowing that there are good people in Second Life that do care.
God bless her heart!

Now, I also asked in that post if I should also stop caring for people.
But how can I stop? I can't.
I love people, love helping and making people happy however I can.
I could never stop helping anyone that needs help or showing kindness and compassion 
to others. My heart will always stay open for those that need help.
My purpose in Second Life is to do my best to bring smiles to other people and for people to know
that for me Second Life is not about me, but about them. That is the reason I am always posting
about all the people I come across during my outings. If in my day I can make one person smile or
lend a helping hand, then my day wasn't lived in vain.


Now you might be asking
"But Lori, where are you? That is such a beautiful place!"
And indeed it is, this is
A Calas/Grove Collaboration (Moderate)

And my song choice for this post "What Was I Made For?" is from the upcoming "Barbie" Movie
hitting theaters on July 21, starring Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Ryan Gosling (Ken), rated PG-13.


Did you ask if I am going to watch it? But of course I am! I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I just need to find all my cute pink stuff to put together my own Barbie look for that day. ;)
Hey, isn't there a little girl inside every woman?

This is all for now my beautiful people.
Always keep a beautiful heart full of love and compassion for those in need.
Much love,
Lori Novo
