The Light in the Darkness

It is very scary to step out into unknown territory.  The first few steps are hesitant, uncertain and the thought will come often to turn back - to question if the road you are going on is the right one.  When I first began virtual modeling I would often see other peoples style and think "They have so much talent and ability, what possible place could I have here when I am so different?"  It caused me to doubt myself and my own abilities sometimes to the point where I would think I want to give it all up.

The funny thing is though every single time that has happened someone would come along and do something so unexpected and encouraging that I breathed easier and was able to take another step - sometimes even run forward refreshed and excited about the path I was on. Sometimes that encouragement came from a friend outside the SL modeling world, from someone outside of SL itself or a fellow model, mentor,  a photographer and even a designer or two.  These people didn't have any idea how encouraging they were and how their kindness kept me going.  I think those people are put in our path to do exactly what the quote in my picture above says: to help us find solid footing or give us wings in order to fly exultantly into what lies ahead.
