I&#8217;ve moved a lot IRL, to different cities, states, and even another country. It is hard to make friends just to say goodbye to them shortly after. In SL I am able to keep meaningful relationships close no matter where I end up physically.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Creativity was always a part of my life. I was into drawing, painting, the typical art forms you learn in school, lots of doodling, and lots of daydreaming. I always had a world inside my head and in SL it&#8217;s not only a way for me to enter it, but I can bring other people to that world too.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Meet the other members of Leviathan Bay that make this community thrive:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/krature.carrd.co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Matti<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shyralei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\">Shylarei<\/a>\u00a0<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mykie_Kiyoko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\">Mykie<\/a>\u00a0<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/sol.starlight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\">Sol<\/a>\u00a0<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/amiee_galicia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\">Amiee<\/a>\u00a0<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flowcode.com\/page\/latenightfeelings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\">Maxwell<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Video Production by Draxtor Despres<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"sl-dg-widget\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ipsImage_thumbnailed alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lecs-destinations-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com\/img\/22086\/635033ab63834494694911.png\" alt=\"635033ab63834494694911.png\" width=\"657\" height=\"394\" \/>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/secondlife.com\/destination\/the-leviathan-bay?sourceid=dgw1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\">The Leviathan Bay<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>The Bay returns in its new form. Jump into the future where a city, once thriving, was hit with a mysterious disaster, flooding the lower half and taken over by the mermaids and sea life nearby. Only a small portion of the city remains, where the people rebuilt. There is an entire area full of life with a thriving art district and many restaurants on the main road, as well as a theatre for special events and many venues for entertainment. Perfect for hanging out, exploring, photography, or on a date with someone special.
