So today was meant to be the day was gonna invite a group of people to a small gathering at my house. I made a silly website that’d show all the info and i’d go around personally inviting them.
I think they just liked the idea of being invited more than the event itself. I had around 10 people explicitly tell to my face that they were coming.
Noone followed through.
I probably fucked up somewhere in the process but it hurts nonetheless; It was the first event I had organized for a group. I wanted to share my world with the people around me. I wanted to showcase my dogs and my garden.
At least i’ve learned something, I got to cook some meat for my family. But damn, this feels isolating.
Seattle here, Dexter Ave. I feel like this was a thing before I found community. It’s about knowing who is genuinely your friend and keeping them. I think we as people are wishful and wear rose colored glasses in this respect.
Oh yeah, for sure. I think we all have those loose invites though, lol.
On another note, there seems to be a large percentage of Seattleites on Lemmy. It’s kind of cool.
Many of us have sense.
