When Rachel first joined TWeb ‘she’ was inquiring, slightly nosey, a bit of a busy-body. As an occasional visitor to the Chat Room she tried to be engaging and entertaining, and to overcome her nerves. Perhaps it’s possible that she was a little false, not a true reflection of who she really was and of course who she really is.
The thing is, it’s no longer appropriate to segregate her from me. Whilst Rachel was initially a veil from behind which I was able to communicate, she is now ever-present. I’ve adopted her and vice-versa. The consequence of this, is that she’s no longer a parody and has become a truer expression of myself. This, I think, is a positive thing.
So when I dared to visit chat again, the quiet slightly reticent & nervous me didn’t really engage. Apologies to all of the girls who listened to my silence. I’m still trying to understand and learn, but every now and then I’m daunted by your femininity and your conviction. I look on in awe and with affection, listening and learning. But I do promise to gently open my mouth and contribute a little in the future.
