Memory Lane

I was going through my Flickr account today. I've always taken lots of pic in SL since the beginning. Going through them was like a blast from the past. Steampunk and Neo-Victoriana is still what I identify with the most (maybe it's the dresses?) I was reminded of so many firsts, so many friends, so many places explored...like the first time I discovered Caledon and the Steamlands.
 Or visited an art exhibit...
 Or owned my first house...
 Or built my house for the first time...
 
 Discovering that being a tiny was incredibly fun...
And so was being a shopkeeper...
So many things shaped the person that I was in SL as I often stumbled my way through. There were friends I fought with, friends I've parted from, and friends that I still consider close today and miss talking to more regularly. Being in SL has been one of the most interesting experiences of my life. Getting to explore not only its world and cultures--but aspects of myself. I know I am not in as much anymore, but it's looking through photos that reminds me of what made it so inviting in the first place.
