So late in the week, I’m going to answer Berry’s monday meme at the end of this post – and also present a new brand in SL fashion scene.
Sundaara Designs
Sundaara’s store is already open, worth to take a very good look at it and add something super to your closet. Even though her outfits come in several colors, I chose to show you to black ones; anyway, take a good look at your favorite colors once you get to her store.

===========================
And well, this week has been so incredibly – I was going to say busy, but I prefer to call it “full” – that only today did I have my time to answer Berry’s last mondays Meme – Introspection. So, here it goes.
1 – Regardless of your current number, how old do you actually feel? – Good question *smiles* I’m 47 but, honestly, I have no idea what “being 47″ means in terms of how I feel. I’m the same person I was when I was 20, 30, 35; yes, more experienced and hopefully more mature.
2 – Which is worse, failing or never trying? – For me, never trying. No matter what the result is going to be, I really don’t like to have “what if’s” in my life; what if I had done that? ; do I accept this person in my life, what if I’m going to get hurt? ; so, I am totally okay with failing, but not okay with those huge questions marks over our heads , sometimes in our lives. I just give it a go; does it work? Good. It didn’t work? Good too, one more lesson learned.
3 – If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? – Actually, nothing. I’m over those 40 years now *smiles* and good to 40 more to come. No regrets, I wouldn’t change a thing.
4 – Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? – I try not to be worried. I mean the term “worried” is quite heavy for me. What I do is just think if I do this who will I affect? Positively or negatively? Sometimes, I just don’t care, honestly. If the result is going to be “negative”, or I’m aware I’m going to hurt someone, I still do it. The most important thing for me is … whatever I do, I want to do it right, no matter what. I do my best to keep my thinking away from fake morals I was taught when I was a little girl, and if I have to tell somebody how I feel and know in advance I’ll hurt the person, I’ll do it. I accept the fact that I can be mean and I’m darn good at it! The opposite is also true, I’m good at what I do always, as long as I act according to how I’m feeling. No matter what. The right thing for me to do is be myself always.
5 – Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? – A joyful simpleton, no doubts about it. The word “genius” doesn’t mean necessarily have a high IQ… just saying Emotional intelligence has proven to be more efficient that IQ measurement. And usually the words “genius” and “worried” don’t go hand in hand. Those we call geniuses are usually totally out of this world, disregard society rules, forget daily things that are routine for the most of us. So, geniuses aren’t usually “worried” people.
6 – Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? – Oh yes! Even more important than any romantic relationship, friendship comes first for me. I’m loyal to the extreme, my friends know I’m always here and if I cannot be at a certain moment, I will inform them. My friends know I don’t lie, I’ll tell them what I think or feel right in their faces, not in their backs. My friends know if they tell me something private, it stays with me. Fortunately, I have some people that give all this back at me; they are very few and those are my friends. The rest are acquaintances and I’m quite a social person, love a good chat *smiles*
7 – Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? – I remember, yes. 5 years ago, 8 years ago, one year ago, 20 years ago. If it matters now? Yes, it does, I’m not going to lie. There is only one way for upsetting things not to matter; forget them (to forget means we got over them) . Honestly, many of them I chose not to forget, cause I want those upsetting things present, as reminders.
8 – At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? – Oh so many times!! Ahh recent past, okay *laughs* This past week in real life, my goodness! *smiles* Right now I can’t talk about it, I’m still feeling that emotional rush of joyfulness, I kind of need to just feel it and talk about it only with my family.
9 -If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? – No, I wouldn’t. Work for me isn’t a burden, it’s a pleasure, that fortunately comes with economical benefits as well. I’d feel fortunate to win enough money to help my family and keep doing what I love to do.
10 – If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? – All my close family members, if possible, have them all together with me.
11 – What do you feel is the difference between being alive and truly living? – Being alive is just … breathing . Right? To live, oh that’s different. Doesn’t matter if we are in a wheel chair, if we are housewives, if we feel sad or depressed. Living is just being in the moment, no matter what we are doing – doing the laundry, watching TV, talking to someone, writing a blog post *smiles* – doesn’t matter. Living is just be very present in whatever I am doing. Just do what I do, every moment, in a very aware state of mind – tryly enjoying simple pleasures of life.
12 – If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? – I’m not afraid of making mistakes. As a human being, it’s logically impossible to never make a mistake. I do allow myself to make mistakes; I probably won’t do the same mistake twice, but I’ll make so many others. I know that, so, why fear?
13 – What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? – Nobody is entitled to judge anybody; people are entitled to their own opinions, yes they do. I can accept them, agree or not. But judgemental people usually have more issues with themselves that with others. So, why bother? No, I wouldn’t do anything different. It’s their judgement, it stays with them. I keep my personal inner power in my hands and won’t give it away so easily.
14 – If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? – Well, he or she wouldn’t probably understand my words as a newborn, so I’d just look at him/her, admire the beauty and the blessing of a new life. I think the newborn would feel that gratitude, not in words, but through a simple smile. I truly believe his/her soul/mind/spirit/body will do the rest, once we offer them gratitude. On the other hand, being a mother myself, nothing like to be close to a newborn all day and observe. They give us more pieces of advice than we can possible give them as newborns. We just have to really observe them. *smiles* Newborns are excellent teachers for us … the grownups
Thank you Berry for this thought challenging Meme!
