Big girls dont cry...

Sometimes gifts inspire the most unexpected photos. Gifts as simple as the offering of friendship, of course. The last few weeks I have been spending a lot of my time trying to find where I 'fit'. Where do I need to be, who do I need to be with, and what is it I am doing here in the first place? During that time I have the expected chaos of a whirlwind of emotions, and the influence of a dozen different voices telling me what they think I should or shouldn't do amplifies it daily.

However, sometimes...there is a friend that is calm and is simply there. Not always talking, not a constant chatter or questions or fishing or probing or...I could go on for days. Someone who reminded me that its ok to take time for yourself. I've always neglected myself more than anyone or anything else in my life. I think that should change. Even though its not about you, those of you that know who you are, I thank you for letting it be about me. I value you guys more than you know.

So today, the picture, the words, the song, please don't get offended. Its not about you. Today its about me. Big girls don't cry, except...when they do.

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

Grand Illusion...
...behind the mask!

Grand Illusion, to me, is a great many things. A place to share my adventures within the grandest illusion I know, Second Life. Exploration, friends and loved ones and best of all, fashion and the addiction that is, shopping! I often spend most of my time in SL working these days, but I still find time for the fashion, for decorating and landscaping and the pure obsessive nature of it all.
