Hello, my name is Flora Sperling.

People usually consider that fantasy is a nice addition to everyday life. Myself however, I experience it the other way around. To me the so-called reality seems like a strange extension of my dreamings.

A weird point of view? But I am not alone!

When I began to discover the Second Life, firstly Dominance and submission (D/s) was my main topic. In both worlds, the Story of O has its place on my shelf. Well, its author Pauline Réage has also written an essay, titled A Girl in Love.

Let me quote from this:

For the rest, nothing is more deceptive and transitory than an identity. If we can believe like hundreds of millions of people believe that we live several lives, then why not believe that in every life we are the crossing point of several souls? Who else am I, so Pauline Réage asks, than anyone’s dreaming and secret part, which is never betrayed, nor by deed nor by gesture even nor by word, but which is walking silent paths of the imaginary, dealing with dreams as old as the world?

Reading her words, I feel reassured. In fact, I know people – as well in reality as in Second Life – who deal with this in a similar way.

For me, fantasy is like love, is like the air that I breathe. Life would not work without love, nor without imagination. Also I believe that this concerns to all human beings around the world.

Hug you all!
