Towards the Light

 

 

Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you. Walt Whitman

This past weekend, I had some time to read some poetry. I wanted to read some Walt Whitman and came across this quote. It really spoke to me. I think focusing on the positive and leaving behind the negative helps to guide us to a better place. Sometimes we all need those little reminders (especially around the holidays). It’s easy to focus on the chaos of having a ton of people around or even the past with those people. But it’s important to focus on the moment… the ability to have a meal with people that you’re close with. As you can imagine, I have thanksgiving on my mind. So my pictures may reflect that a little bit, like this one–a nice sunny autumn day. They are always a welcome break from the cold gray winter days, and it’s important to focus on those sunny moments too, rather than take them for granted.

As you can see, I’m a bit reflective. It is the month to reflect and be thankful for all the good things that surround you. There is good in the world, even on the darkest of days. But we have to always look towards the light to let it guide us. Maybe it’s the sunshine that breaking through my window, after a month of rain. I feel pretty good about that sunshine.

Because I am a bit happy, I wanted to capture a joyful and restful picture. I really love this outfit. Honestly, if I could wear this in real life, I would. It’s just that good. It’s so cute. To make this wonderful outfit, you only need to head over to Collabor88 and Anybody. You’ll have to hurry though, because the Anybody event is about to close. My shirt is from Tetra, my jeans are from JustBecause, and my hair is from lamb, which can all be found at Collabor88. My makeup is from Euphoric, which you can find at the AnyBody event. I want to take a brief second to talk about makeup. I have always loved the makeup from Euphoric, so I was thrilled to see that they are making makeup applier for the Genus head. Makeup is not just an sl passion of mine. It really carries over into all worlds. So I love that there are options becoming available for the genus’s head.

If you like any of the items pictured above, please check out my credits below. Also this photo was taken at Elysion. It’s a beautiful sim…and also why there is no furniture included in the credits below.

Please be safe this holiday weekend and enjoy being with loved ones–and some good food.As always, Be Kind To One Another.

Cheers,

Violet xoxo
