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.

    I’ve had similar turnout the past few times I’ve tried to host a get-together. I have given up entirely on hosting at this point. The cost and disappointment just isn’t worth it to me any more.
