Enter: Chance

The name’s Chance, as in f**k with me and you don’t have one. 

Now that we have that out of the way. I’m 12 years old and in live in SL. Or I guess you could say I’m 8… even 6. I guess my age is kind of complicated, but I’m not. I love my family and friends and I’ll do anything I can to make them happy and keep them safe. So as long as you don’t mean any trouble to them or me, you don’t have to worry about the first sentence.  

 Most anyone reading this probably knows my vitals, but I gotta have some kind of beginning, right? My new brother Shakes asked me to create this blog (and even tempted me to do so) so why don’t we start with him? Well lets just start with family in general. 

 I have lived in Second Life for a long time but I wasn’t always the person I am now. For the last 2 year or so however I’ve been a boy and a ‘dorable one at that. My reentry into everyday life in SL started with my brother, or at least he was at the time. We were twins and I was as close to him. I cared about him so much and I wanted to do everything I could to be a good brother. I could go on and describe the times we had together, but that’s in the past and this is about the future.  

 He left me as a brother and once again I was on my own. I did however have a few friends and one boy in particular who was always kind to me. His name is
Austin and after a long time of knowing each other I was taken into his family and we became brothers. He went on to become the partner of another friend of mine, Tomas, who then became my second brother. Both of them are awesome and not only made me feel welcomed in SL but loved and cared for.  

Along with them I suddenly had a whole slew of mostly older brothers who were part of this “family,” the Harmasons. If I were going by family name alone I’d probably have like 50 brothers right now as the Harms (nick named as such because they seem to have a knack for causing it) pick up stray children in SL like they are house pets. I don’t doubt some of those strays have enjoyed themselves and feel part of the family, but they have hurt many of my friends and I do not feel close to them.  

As I mentioned there are lots of boys in the family, but in a place like SL, family name alone can not bind you like brothers, there has to be more. I more recently met Daniel and from the moment I did I knew there was something special about him. Through him I met Shakes who I seemed to share an equally close connection too. The two of them together are something special as anyone can notice if you spend some time with them.  

I wanted to be closer to them and build on the connection we had so Shakes and I started talking about me becoming his little brother. We’ve been talking about it back and forth for a while now and finally today we made it official. Now not only do I have Shakes as a brother but I have a new older sister, Pix! I could not be happier about it all. New family is always a time for celebration and I can only hope that all together my new family and I can grow closer and that I can be the best little brother I can possibly be! 

 I had intended to write more, but I got distracted in the middle and have lost my train of thought since I started this. I think it’s enough of a primer for now so you can either wait for my next post or ask me some questions you wanna know about me in my comments.  ~Chance~
