The Road Less Traveled

The main reason I started blogging a couple of years ago was as an outlet for a lot of difficult to deal with emotions that I couldn't express to anyone in Second Life. I recognised that I needed to process them somehow and my blog became an outlet. I'm fast approaching the 2 year mark [...]
