This is something that came up over the past few months.
I want to go, but I got vibes from two pivotal people in my life that I was not invited or not going to be invited.
One kept saying, "Oh, sure, you're invited", but never formally invited me or said a word about it.
Another said something to the effect of, "Oh, yeah... that would be GREAT if I see you there maybe!" Basically, you're not really invited, but if you show up, that's cool.
I think this is that moment where the rubber meets the road. Two people I'm frankly tired of giving my energy and friendship to and getting crumbs back as of late. A lot of crumbs. And I've also told them -- they know -- I want to go.
So I think I'm done.
When so-called "friends" don't see fit to bother to invite you to Comicon, I think that's the time to say, "Enough" and cut them out.
It's hard for me, because it's so hard for me to cut people out. SO hard. My friend tells me I need to learn how to do it. But I would be going from 4 people in my life to 2, one of whom I don't hear much from.
Sometimes you keep crappy people in your life because you have no one else. But you realize there are better people out there, better friends.
