Don't Cry

Hey all! Ey:no has out the most adorable group gift right now. It's a teddy bear pose prop that comes complete with a tissue to wipe your new friend's tears away. The Ey:no group is free to join I believe and they regularly put out gifties so be sure to head on over and get your own bear.

I'm also showing off some more goodies you can pick up courtesy of the TOSL 2nd Birthday Hunt. This tropical inspired mesh dress is available at Alexohol. They also have generously placed out another dress as well plus some men's shorts so you'll definitely want to hit them up. The little footstool table with coffee tray accessories is Dreamscapes Art Gallery's prize and like the rest of their pretty furniture, I just couldn't help but put this out in my house. If you'd like to see more prizes from this hunt or some hints, check out the TOSL blog and then happy hunting.

Now onto other business! As most of you know, I've been running a survey for a few days regarding everyone's preferences in blogging pictures. I'm in awe of the support that people on my TL have had in helping me collect responses and appreciate everyone who took the time to answer the questions and promote this. Some of the responses were surprising to me! I hope that it helps other blogger's besides me understand what our SL blog readers like so without further ado, here are the results!

Surviving

A few years ago, I was in an abusive relationship. Luckily, I was strong enough to get out of it but there are many women out there who are still in one and are afraid to leave. This poem is for them:

Trapped inside myself to buff the world around me

I don't want to feel the pain.

If only he would go away, I'd be free.

I'm going nowhere but insane.

As I push my way up off this bed I'm praying.

This isn't love. It's sink or swim.

He can't hurt me anymore but he keeps saying,

No one loves me more than him.

Reaching out for help. I can't do this alone.

Getting out is hard to do.

The last crazy fight we had, he pulled out the phone.

Every time, I say we are through.

No more crying, no more fighting, and no more pain.

I'm better than all this, I know.

I'm on my way. The sun is shining through the rain.

It doesn't matter where I go.

Breaking free.

Up I plunder.

I love me.

A beautiful wonder.
