‘Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I have been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning
Back to the meaning of wolf and man ‘

I’ve been offline for quite a while. Well not completely of course, as my work is online but I have been on an SL break. It was good and it was needed.

For one, to take care of my lovely puppy and for two: to heal myself and take some distance from my second life. This summer hasn’t been a great one. Far from it. I am aware the dust has settled for most, but for me personally some things still hit me like a hammer at times. I am doing my best to get used to the fact Don is really not coming back. It seems impossible at times.

And then there is the loss of friendships, not by death – but due to miscommunications, wrong interpretations and choices and all that crap that happens. I came to a point that I was too numb and tired and I just stopped trying to explain myself and logged off. For a while.

By now, some weeks passed by in which I enjoyed my pup, the walks (even in pouring rain) and worked my ass off and I feel it is time to come back to my second life. Summer is doing its last tries, but soon Autumn will arrive with the dark evenings and rain and storms and it will be fun to be back online again.

So many places to explore, events to go to and people to catch up with! I am ready!
