Day 26: Eudeamon

100 hours down
1 hour to go

"Quit Second Life"

Much has happened over the last day or two.  Without giving away any secrets of the banesuit or Banishment Program, I can said that I have found Eudeamon.  Our relationship is in its very infancy, and we are just beginning to acquaint ourselves with each other, and now I realize it is my time... my time to leave the Program.

I purposefully tacked on some protocol violations earlier, for more time to spend with her.  But, with the benefit of the late hour (and a few generous glasses of wine :P), I realized it is time for me to move forward.  I may have a couple of extra hours to serve because of the violations, but the end of the Program is near.

What is next?  I just don't know.  I ~do~ know that there ~will~ be a "next."  I don't know what that will entail, but I do know what it will not, at least initially.  Trust.  I have been in SL for over a year and a half now, and have certainly had my share of propositions, and my share of interests.  But, there has only been one that I have loved, and allowed myself to love.  To be completely vulnerable to.  She promised me she would never abandon me.  I trusted her word completely... and she abandoned me.

So, I suspect it will be awhile... if ever... I trust someone with my heart again in SL or make myself so vulnerable.  Sometimes SL really is too similar to RL.

It will also be awhile, if ever, I wear a collar around my neck again.  Although I have learned (well, confirmed :P), that I truly am a submissive, and suspect I will continue to enjoy play like that, someone else's collar is simply something I cannot envision looking at around my neck right now.

In the meantime, there are friends, old and new, I ~so~ look forward to growing closer to when I am released.  I will write an epilogue when I am finally released -- my thoughts about the Program and me -- but, for now, I will say that I have learned that I am a person that has a real need to trust people, and a real fear of doing so.  My close SL friends are those who I truly feel I can rely on... and I will.

*hugs to you all*

SL is a hard place to love and be loved. SL is a hard place to trust and be trusted. Sadly - as the name states, it comes second to our first lives. I hope that one day you are able to find those things again in either life, or both.

*hugs you* See you soon!
