So, this is my blog about reflections inspired by my experiences in Second Life. It is not simply an in character (IC) or out of character (OOC) blog, but a melding of both. I use games, especially role playing games, to explore aspects of my psyche a lot. Second Life, with it’s very unconstrained and fluid nature, is an excellent area to do just such a thing.
It may seem silly two write a blog about Second Life reflections, particularly when it comes to how serious I take some things. For instance, my interest in the Sisterhood runs very deep. Something about it resonates with a core aspect of myself. I have thought long and hard about their teachings and how they apply even to my offline life.
But the way I see it is games are a way for us to explore ourselves. Role play has even been used by some therapists as a way to help clients understand their own desires and motivations. It is no different for me here. And besides, it is fun.
So I know I have already written a lot in my first few days, and I have even more still. I suspect my writing will die down over time, but for now, where I am, trying to cram in as much about my thoughts as possible, sort of all at once. Thank you for reading.
