Sacrifice and Compromise


Two of the most vital tools in any healthy relationship are sacrifice and compromise. There are many other important parts as well, but today we are going to talk about these two.

Sacrifice : an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy.

Compromise : an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

During the course of a long term relationship, there will be times where both are not just needed, but required. While it is always best to try and compromise, to find a solution that both sides can agree with, not all situations have a middle ground. That is when one side must sacrifice for the sake of the greater good.

Our relationships with Troy, have all involved a bit of both over the past nearly 5 years, and will involve greater sacrifices in future for us to have the life together that we both want. Since Troy is in the UK and we are in the USA, there is no way to compromise on a middle ground, because we can not live in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so one of us is going to have to sacrifice our current country in order to be together.

The important thing to consider with sacrifice, is that in a healthy relationship both sides make them equally. The same goes for compromises, both sides have to give as much as they take, for the scales to balance out.

Today’s post is brought to you by the new release from Something New, Sacrificial Wolf is available as part of Stop Till You Drop 2022 which runs from Oct 24th – Nov 1st . The set comes with 2 versions. FMF and FFF prop and scene are included and modifiable.

The always gorgeous Pickle Zombae joined us for our sacrifice today, and you can check out her amazeball-ness at her blog Kaleidoscope . You will have to pop over there if you would like her credits because I didn’t ask for them !

Treat Your Demons


We grew up living across the street from our local cemetery, and our best friend lived on the same street as we did. When we were still too young to walk to the playground, the graveyard became our playground. We played ghost in the graveyard, in the graveyard. We played tag, hide and seek, flew kites, blew bubbles and had picnics. We always ran around grave sites, never over them, because that was disrespectful. It was a healthy relationship with the dead, and so the spooky ghost stories, never really spooked us.

This background set from Something New is a free gift at the Halloween Shop & Hop, and the pose is also available. Something about swinging over the dead, brought back alot of fond memories.

Also available at Shop & Hop is the Lilleth Mills CURSED tank that Beth is wearing, but Shop & Hop is not the only place brimming with deals. These THICC jeans we are both wearing are also from Lilleth Mills and are available as a Lilleth Mills Marketplace Promo price until October 12th. Just 99L for each 3 color pack is a great treat for your denim demons.

There are so many amazing treats to be found at Halloween Shop & Hop that I tried to pack more than a few of them into this post. You can find the credits below for those, and you can also find direct links to all of the store stalls on the Second Life Community Page.
