From my own personal experience, I believe that Home can be a powerful tool to help deal with difficulties in the real word. Since Home is a virtual world, it has provided me with a relatively safe environment, when compared with the real world, to work out personal issues that have in the real world.

I would like to hear how your experiences on Home has had a positive effect on your real life.

Thank you in advance for sharing.

Home for me is a great stress reliever,whenever I feel frustration or anger Irl i spend a few hours in Home and end up feeling much better.There are many different reasons for this but the end result is always the same,i always leave Home feeling better than when i entered it.From the"Trolls"to the gender confused there really is no end to the things you can learn in home,example:If i had not met a transgender person in central plaza around 3 am 1 night,yeah I know there are many but this person was brutally honest about itself,I would not have become aware of just how long that process is or the emotional struggle many of that catergory of person endures.I'm still thankful to this random person,sorry long forgot the user name,for an insider look at a situation i had previously known little about.Home is a treasure trove for ppl interested in meeting new and eccentric personalities in which to learn something new from.I for 1 am a much wiser and happier person for finding Home,normally i'd expect to have to pay for something that provides me with as much fun as Home has.I'd also expect to have to buy it out behind a bar at 3am but this gets delivered straight into my house and for no more than the price of my internet connection I get almost endless hours of entertainment,it's really a bargain.So to answer your question,doing the things I'm doing on Home have made my real life stress free.

Cthulu93 thank you for your reply. Yes, Home is a great place to expand the mind and learn of others that we would normally never meet in real life.

Home has given me a place to express myself in a multitude of ways. It has given me a forum for my ideas, my creativity is nurtured in writing and even in just how I can dress and arrange my apartments. I love being able to meet people from many cultures and parts of the world and interact with them. Home has broadened my horizons on many levels, and given me some wonderful friends in the process, you included Orion!

Home has given me an instant audience. As a creative type person the largest issue I have is finding an audience that is interested in my material. Well... make something in/about Home. BAM. people are going to want to see it and will enjoy it.
