ღ About this Blog ღ
Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Lizzy Austen in Second Life. I like to explore SL searching for new and fun things to see. I love learning new things and writing about them in this blog. This blog has evolved over time. In 2015, I started this blog as a way to fulfill a goal my therapist had set for me. The goal was to go out and find new things that I like to do in an effort to rediscover who I am as a woman and person.
ღ How it began ღ
I was getting out of a five-year toxic relationship with someone who stripped away all of my boundaries and essentially abandoned me halfway through. I stayed too long in the relationship, which was toxic and damaging my soul and mood. So much so, that by the end, those around me, both real-world and SL family, were worried for my life. I was drowning in a spiral and wouldn’t stop spiraling until I left the situation and started a new life. I went through five years of no boundaries, a life of isolation, and no thoughts of my own. Therapy helped pull me out of it and one of the goals I listed was to rediscover “me” again.
ღ Evolution of a Blog ღ
In the beginning, this blog was an exploring blog. One where I just wrote about different places I visited. I didn’t even do my pictures well. I just took snapshots here and there and wrote about the sims I visited. Then one day my friend, Tirza, asked me what I was wearing and where I got it. After that, I started posting my credits of what I was wearing to my posts. I didn’t do much to my pictures because I was still learning so didn’t know much about how to create credits and so on. I basically listed the name of the store and the outfit…no hyperlinks in the beginning…just a basic list. LOL
Over time, my blog has evolved from exploring SL and what I like to including fashion and those likes too. Then it evolved from writing tutorials for things like RLV and how to adjust your shape, to unboxing videos on YouTube; even joke videos that I did for a friend. Now, it includes fashion, décor, home, and gardening or landscaping topics, tutorials, and videos. This blog has a little bit of everything! If I can learn from something, it probably will end up on my blog. With each blog post, you can see a little bit of “me.” It is a journey of self-discovery, fun, and more…
