Webster’s defines generosity as “readiness or liberality in giving.” I like to think that I have been *somewhat* generous during my tenure in SL. I like to further think that its a character trait brought over from RL. I’ve ran into new avatars and given my time to help them get acclimated to SL. In some instances, I even made monetary contributions to help them better outfit their avatar. Why heck, I’m not even above giving a Linden or two when I blow through a sim that impresses me. I like to think I give my L, and my time, as Webster says *readily* and with *liberality*.
However. You could just “feel” that however couldn’t you? However, I am constantly humbled by members of my Family. Every day, my girls, be it Brats, slaves, piggies, grandbrats, you name it, give their money, their efforts, sometimes even collective efforts, and their time, the most precious commodity, to enrich the SL experience for those moving in and out of their lives. They give these items to others within SL, whether it be new avatars in-world, or a friend that has been here for some time. Additionally, every day, they give these gifts to me, whether directly or indirectly. A dear friend of mine has recently said that its not the Domme that makes the sub, but rather its the sub that makes the Domme. This is so true. My girls make me. They mold me. They breathe life into me. They complete me. Plain and simple.
A few people know how much I adore my privacy, even in-world. I love the ability to just go to a place where you know you are supreme and nobody can bother you. The easiest way to do this of course is to have your own sim. A place to call “home”.
Recently, while away from SL for a spring break vacation with my RL family, one of my girls chose to surprise me. I should say all of my girls as this surprise was miraculously kept a secret from me prior to my departure. Whoever says a secret cannot be shared in SL has not met my Family.
Now, I won’t mention this Family member by name, as that is not important and she knows who she is, but upon my return to SL following my vacation, lo and behold, I now own a sim. Paid for, signed, sealed and delivered. Now mind you, this is deeper than a monetary gift to me. This girl has now allowed me the ability to have the peace I want in SL, *when* I want it. On my terms. Additionally, we now have a place that the Family can gather as a whole, and get even closer than we already were. Believe me, no easy task when your Family juggles a dozen time zones and everyone lives in a different sim.
So, to the girl that gave me this cherished gift, I cover you in kisses and adore you as I always have. I love you. To the rest of my girls, who give me precious gifts and generosity day in and day out, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am with our new home and the prospect of all of us being together, without the prior drama; playing, loving, laughing and most importantly, living, as a Family should.
God bless you all.
