I just spent the last several minutes crying about my stupid bridal shower. My shower is this Saturday. I didn't even want to have one, but my Mom's friends wanted to throw one, so I gave in. Here's the thing: nobody's coming. Like, nobody. Of my 5 BMs, there's only one who might even possibly be there. The rest all have work or something. My cousin for whom I drove seven hours each way to attend her baby shower can't make it even though it's 15 minutes from her apartment. My aunt has company coming and can't come. It's just one excuse after another, and I keep plastering this smile on my face and saying "it's cool, I get it, no worries" and I feel like I have nowhere where I'm allowed to show my disappointment hence this stupid vent and nobody who would even care if they knew how I was feeling. Don't get me wrong; I'm not expecting anybody to make me their first priority. I just feel like a midday Saturday luncheon shouldn't be that big of a burden. And I'm extremely grateful for the several big ticket items that have been purchased off of our registry, but I would rather just have people there for me. Does anybody else feel totally alone sometimes? What do you do to snap out of it?
