@Shadami: It definitely takes practice. I know at the beginning of this year i was super shy and afraid to really hop into conversations, but after i joined voltra i opened up after like a month or two. Even on discord with my hubby's friends, i was quiet, but now i talk a lot more. Also, before Voltra, i was on menewsha, but like 5 or 6 years ago. So it had been a long time since i was on a forum website talking to anyone semi regularly. And even on mene i had a hard time really opening up and making friends. Now i feel like i have actual good friends here that i can talk to whenever, which is nice.
Also, oh how sweet! Three is a fun age. I don't have any kids yet, but i'm hoping to soon... It's a struggle and sometimes it gets me down. Right now i think my body is too stressed to even think of it sustaining a baby, but i'm hoping soon thinks will be able to calm down and it will happen.
I have the pronunciation in my signature because i feel like a lot of people would think Ri-nuh instead of reh-nuh and i hate correcting people on things like that, so preemptive explanations are nice.
