Elle Leaving :*(

Okay, this is one of the hardest posts I've had to write I still tear up thinking about it :*(

I think at some point in everyone's SL life you realize that SL is not an utopia. There are real emotions behind avatars and people can get hurt, frustrated, fed up, or bored with SL. We all go through a period of listlessness wondering what are we doing in SL? For what purpose do we keep playing?

Well unfortunately my Elle was not happy in SL :( So unhappy that she decided to leave forever and stop playing. I was heartbroken so heartbroken I cried in RL that whole day after she left :*(

I didn't want her to go but she was unhappy and if a game is making you unhappy then I can't be selfish and make her keep playing :(


The next day after the tears dried I was still down I missed her so much! She was and is my BFF. I didn't realize what a big part of my SL life she was until she was gone :*( and it was like an empty void opened in my life that only she could fill.

I didn't do much that day as you can see in the pic I was having my little SL pity party alone in my apartment thinking about Elle and what went wrong what made her so unhappy :(

Alright so I sorta already knew what made her unhappy and well though I can't go into details I can say that like in RL there are a lot of jerks on SL. We've all been hurt and frustrated by jerks and I'm using the word nicely! But too many jerks passed the path of my Elle and she had enough :(

I'm reminded of a song when I think about all this it's from the movie version of Much Ado About Nothing. It's ironically comforting that even in Shakespeare's time men were ass holes and called out about it lol. But in the end you have to forget the jerks and move on :) Hopefully if Elle ever comes back jerks will stop crossing her path :) But SL is random and who knows? Oh I'm not leaving the ladies out either there are some bitches out there you know who you are grrrrrr.

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:

Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leafy:

Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing, Act II, Scene III

I have to admit that I listen to that song over and over again. The words are very true.


Kale finally came online and I had to cry on his shoulder again :*(

He knows how much Elle means to me and was being very sweet so I cheered up a bit :)

I keep in contact with Elle through email so it's not like she is gone forever but I am very hopeful that after a break she will come back again because as she says SL is crack ;p
