Does Octavia ever stop thinking about the cameras?  Does she ever stop performing to the cameras?

Every now and then she talks to the walls but they don't seem to answer back.  :biggrin:

Oh, you're wrong, the walls answer Octa, even about this forum....

This morning Octavia seems thoughtful and indecisive.

Is she unsure whether or how the meeting will take place?

As always, we'll see when she comes back tonight, if she comes at all.

Let's see what the universe is up to...

Yes…it will be interesting to see what happens.

It is clear from how she got ready to go that she is fully prepared to ignore all the red flags she brought up in her Sunday conversation. We shall see if she perceives him as a “changed man” or if the flags re-appear. With Octavia, once the adrenaline starts running the common sense seems to fade to the background. Where will it take her this time?

There is no doubt about one thing. There will be more lessons to be learned here.

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

It was very nice to hear Octavia's thoughts today and see how honesty and clear thinking have prevailed following her night out. She appears to have a fairly realistic view of the situation with the man from Dubai and it seems that perhaps their way of relating has evolved in a healthier way (more open and truthful?) while she still sees the potential issues involved…not the least of which are the cultural differences as they relate to how women are viewed in his part of the world and the fact that while they have communicated a lot over time they have still not spent much time together. I think it is fortunate that both of them have plans that will keep things at a slower pace for now since what he wants involves such a major life decision.

As Octavia has mentioned, a recurring theme in her life has been the feeling of wanting to go fast🚴🚙😁 but I think circumstances are such right now that she can really start to relax and slow down as she has many cool plans in the near future with festivals, family visits and the interesting boy from the gym to get to know so that there is no need to feel urgency about anything. As she says…she is fine…so relax in that and enjoy what is happening.

I feel the need to draw a conclusion for myself.
I was curious how seriously the slogan “other people’s private lives” should be taken.
Of course, there are couples, such as "Venera and Lion", who lead a normal life, including work outside the home.
However, this slogan is a lot of nonsense for singles or couples on vacation.
When the tenants aren't preparing food and then spending time in the kitchen, all I see here are girls who write and receive text messages all day and mostly spend it in bed.
I wonder what a viewer gets out of watching someone do this activity.


Another example of absolutely pointless watching was a party like the one last weekend.
The music was once again very loud, so that you could see that some people were talking,
but you have absolutely no chance of understanding anything about it, even if the conversations were perhaps even conducted in English.
Other viewers report clever lighting manipulation on the part of the tenants, so that nothing can be seen in other situations.
I wonder how this all fits with the slogan. For me the answer is clear, not at all.


Over the three months that I've been pursuing this project, Oktavia has grown on me.
I found her way of talking to the walls to be very positive. I had the impression that an honest person here can handle the cameras and also thinks about those who are watching.
I can only rate her wish to bring a partner into the house as positive for us as viewers and thank Oktavia for this real participation in her private life.


However, what is allowed in this private life has changed for some time. Since two new men came into Octavia's life, she has shown different behavior. She no longer receives or writes voice messages in public spaces.
She writes and receives a barrage of text messages throughout the day, but the question remains from above.
In these last few days she goes to the downstairs toilet for every occasion, which I find unnecessary anyway, but I have come to the opinion that she receives and writes these voice messages there in the camera-free room, so that she can take part in her private lives are deliberately excluded here.
She still reveals a part of her private life in her speeches, but I see this as a very chosen part of her. I'm annoyed by this hiding behavior.


Since I don't want to get angry and since I can't change Octavia's behavior, of course she has the right to do so,
there are two decisions for me: firstly, I will not convert my membership to RLC into a long-term one, but rather end it, as it really isn't worth spending so much money, secondly,

I will end my contributions here to Octavia, as I am her I'm not going to follow up anymore. I need to break my emotional attachment as I don't want to get angry.


I hope I haven't bored the members of this forum with my thoughts. The motto for everyone is: everyone can do what they want, that applies to the tenants as well as to the viewers and readers of this forum.
