Coming Home

Dejaye's Hidey Hole

 

Home at last!!  This is the LAST home I will own in Second Life.  When it's gone, I'm gone.  This isn't just any old parcel by a landlord you never actually get to talk to, this was the very first parcel the Dance Xcetera team called home back in 2015.  And my home, "Dejaye's Hidey Hole" was on the ground underneath it.  

There came a time when I could no longer afford the quarter sim and had no idea how moving forward without a theater was going to work.  I figured I could just rent a quarter at show time, but that too was an expense I couldn't really afford at the time.  Then my RL friend Aryanna spoke to her good friend Nigel and he allowed us the use of his sim for no fee.  Our team called the Sandalphon sim home for two years until moving to the Llopango sim owned by a douche bag named Dutchess, someone who stabbed me in the back and almost cost me my team so she could have one of her own.  

Here are some pictures of my home, and the theater.  It sounds crazy but it was sentimental coming back to the Burning Embers sim, where it all started, and on the exact same parcel - I think the universe was telling me something, that this team was meant to be.  I have the best landlord ever, she's very reasonable and wants to make her residents happy.  She's also put out a sim environment and sky.  Simply lovely!  Welcome home to me!

My Sister

2008 - me and my sister (right)

I won't make this a long drawn out post in order to keep those who don't know my sister interested but bear with me because this was difficult to write.

Out of all the people I've met in SL in over 15 years, my sister Dutch hurt me the most.  From the time I met her I felt a connection with her and we became fast friends.  It wasn't long after that we became sisters.  The only legit sister I've had in SL.  We parted ways twice, both for things I didn't feel were directly related to something I did but through it all, I always referred to her as my sister, and I talked about her because I missed her.  

We reunited in 2018 and I was ecstatic to bring her on the dance team.  Then all these years later I was totally blind sighted when she, along with four DX teammates that she was helping quit the team.  I found out later that she spent the last year grooming these teammates by withholding and manipulating information that would benefit her.  Teammates are supposed to help each other, not help and then snatch them away.  I told her when I brought her on to the team that only one person runs it and that's me.  I guess that didn't suit her anymore because she aligned herself with people that she could use to form her own team, and that's exactly what she did.

So I'm really butt hurt over this.  She almost destroyed the only reason I have left to come into Second Life, the one thing that relaxes me when I need to decompress, and the feelings I get when I put a dance together, it's the same feeling I would get on recital night for tap and ballet when I was a kid.  

I'm angry and I'm heartbroken.  I should have never let her back into my life.  Lesson learned.  Muted forever, BYE BITCH.

She's left, I'm right.
