Dawn...

You just need to show up and be open to saying good morning in person. I don't like getting out, but, going to Nostr Valley last weekend was honestly good for me. So stop worrying about "needing to bring something." You would be welcome at any gathering I'd want to go to, so, you should stop chickening out before you end up fried. (I know, I know, I'm terrible at times.) 

Make plans to travel. Keep them. Enjoy it.  

 I appreciate the encouragement. I don't mind getting out, and I'm not even shy. Quiet maybe, but not shy.😅

Nostr Valley looks like it was a lot of fun. Stuff like that is so special. And I know this, but yet... here I am. Lol
