When I think of Imvu, and all that it has become, it’s bittersweet. I joined the app at least 10 years ago. Time has flown by. I have wonderful memories of hanging out with best friends, joyful nights full of laughter. We’d all go to our friends room, chill, and have a wild time. We grew together. We thrived together. We got through the good and the bad times; together. We became a bonded community, and no matter what seems to happen, that bond has remained strong. It’s a kind of love, the kind that feeds the soul. Not romantic nor sexual, but a deep rooted friendship between us all. 

I have been on vu since 2018. I fell off before for the same reasons but came back.

I’ve always seen myself as an artistic person or at least I like to think so. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been drawn to creating and expressing myself through art. I studied art throughout primary and secondary school, where I even had the opportunity to represent my school in various art competitions and exhibitions. Those experiences helped me appreciate creativity in all its forms and was the catalyst for my artistic journey.

I started my IMVU journey back in 2018. Back then, I was part of a group that was pretty well-known, we laughed, connected, and lived for the moment. But life has a way of shifting paths. Relationships came and went, priorities changed, and I eventually stepped away.

It's been such a dream and amazing goal of mine (Rinny) to share the stories of people on Imvu. I think we're downcast a lot. It's a "VR" (Virtual reality) and ours stories go on in silence. Our worries, concerns and sometimes even our goals, but not anymore. With these amazing people, I get to help share the stories I've always wanted to.

Welcome to the new Imvu Magazine, where it goes beyond the models and influencers, to the needs of the Imvu people. We have, for those of us who've been around for a while, seen the many changes that IMVU has made, and what it's done to our favorite virtual reality.
