EXPLORING SECOND LIFE
I was seventeen, not the most beautiful or best dressed, but with the confidence of a thousand women.
"Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue,
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play..."

Hello Beautiful World!
Welcome to Cherishville (Autumn) at Tuscan Hills (Moderate)
Cherishville is a peaceful, photogenic destination set in the heart of autumn.
Free rezz is available for photography enthusiasts. Flickr.
Yesterday, Sunny and I visited this beautiful Autumn location, which is my favorite
one so far this year. I have already visited others, and after taking a few pictures for an Exploring
Second Life post, I ended up deleting them. The main problem in some of the locations I have
visited is how much orange, yellow, and brown has been used to put them together. Don't get me
wrong, I love all the Fall hues, and that is one of the main reasons Autumn is my favorite season of the
year. However, not everything has to be completely Autumn colors. The air, just as we do, needs the
incorporation of other different shades, or the scenery looks like it's drowning in a pool of tangerine melt.
Now, that is just my personal opinion. ;)
How about today's song, Dear Prudence ~ The Leslie West Band?
Now this song, originally by English rock band The Beatles back in 1968, was written by John Lennon
and Paul McCartney for their White Album.
"Dear Prudence open up your eyes.
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies.
The wind is low the birds will sing,
That you are part of everything.
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?..."
-Lyrics
This beautiful song will always sound great, no matter what style it is being played.
Today, American guitarist, singer, and songwriter Leslie West, who, back in 2023, was named 245th
greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone, brings it to us in his own style, releasing his rock
version of Dear Prudence back in 1975. Leslie Abel West, who passed away back on December 23, 2020
was known for playing blues rock, hard rock, and heavy metal. Characterized by his heavy riffs and
expressive, fuzzed-out tones, he influenced modern blues and the stoner rock genre.
"Look around round
Look around round round
Look around..."

And now going back to the beginning...
Sweet seventeen, my favorite age, one of the best years of my life.
I wasn't the most beautiful or wearing the latest fashion. My hair wasn't perfectly styled, or
wearing all the makeup most girls my age were wearing. I was more like the girl with messy
long hair or tied up in a ponytail, wearing simple dresses or tees and jeans. My face was barely
embellished by a little blush and a small touch of lip gloss, but the two things that I never left
the house without were my biggest smile and the confidence of a thousand girls.
I felt as special and as beautiful as the most beautiful girl next to me. Never more, never less,
always as equal to them. I could easily walk into any situation or place and felt very confident
and never shied away from interactions with other people, no matter who they were. I actually
hoped and initiated conversations. The confidence I felt and the big smile were always the only
keys I needed to open any door, and any heart. I was happy being myself, simple with no worries
if I was not enough or if I was better than others. Appearances and materialistic possessions
never really interested me. What I had to offer and what I looked for in other people was
something more profound, something that could not be seen with the eyes but felt with the heart.
Thanks For Reading!

"Dear Prudence let me see you smile.
Dear Prudence like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain,
So let me see you smile again.
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?..."

"Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue,
It's beautiful and so are you.
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play."
