It was my birthday last week. Another year older.
I tried to be more organised this time, and tried to put something in people’s diaries a few months in advance.
I even booked somewhere.
In the end i had about 15 people come. The usual crowd were there, and a few extras. But there were alot who never replied or bothered to come.
I’m disappointed. I’m not sure what to do.
It makes me sad.
Do i try harder? Do i let them go?
I know that i can be hopeless at times, and often it is just a function of circumstance and my inability to cope with many things, rather than anything else. Am i being too harsh on my friends?
I guess it’s all about what you expect. Do i expect my close friends to in some way acknowledge my birthday? Yes. Do i expect them to repond to an invitation to celebrate? Even if it’s just to say ‘sorry i can’t make it, have a good time without me’? Yes
