Who are we?

I think the residents of Second Life are looking for something they are not getting in their first life. It is my opinion that the very fact that they hang out on Second Life supports this. I don't think that applies to everyone who joins Second Life. I think it applies to pretty much everybody who hangs out on Second Life more than three or four hours a week. This doesn't means they are not happy with their first life it just means something is not being fulfilled. For each person it is different. I admit there are fetishes that I may not understand but I think most are harmless and therapeutic. I am learning a lot out people and even more about myself.

What has become most important to me are the friendships that have developed. Besides my love of my life, Lillith, I am regularly making new friends. some of my dearest an close friends I have written about in previous posts. My Second Life occupations and friendships give me a wonderful insight into the diverse residence of Second Life. Not everyone that joins Second Life and sticks is going to show up in a strip club but enough still do to keep me financially solvent and many of them have a story to tell while they watch me dance. Some even ask for advice. Almost all of them are fascinating, friendly and very nice.
It is very rare that I someone is rude or threatening.

So, What I have found is that there are a few types of residents that I have met. On the one end there are those that are pretty much a mirror of their First Life only a bit brighter and shinier and at the other end a completely fictional character derived from fantasy. All of them are fine with me. I welcome you all to Second Life and my friends list. Just be who you want to be and discovery who you are in the process.
