entry from June 13 2023
I got stood up today! A person who’s been following me for years messaged me and asked to hang out in Athens (where I was vacationing at the time). She was supposed to come a few days ago, but now she’s coming the day before we leave this place. She was so eager, she said she’d even meet us at the airport the morning we were leaving, just to have coffee. She’s been a follower of mine since my live-streaming days so I wasn’t sketched out about her enthusiasm, or meeting her, I was excited to finally bridge the gap with a long time supporter. I don’t get to do that often.
She asked me to tell her the time and place and she said she’d 100% be there. The day before we were supposed to meet, I told her about a cute cafe we could meet at for noon. She didn’t respond back. I thought maybe she just went to bed early since she had a long flight from the other side of the world. I checked my DMs this morning and still no response. I asked her to message me by 11am because it was going to take me an hour to get to the cafe.
I checked at 11 and still nothing.
Eric and I decided to go to downtown anyway. A part of me thought maybe there was an issue with Instagram or her internet and she might just show up. I always give people the benefit of the doubt, especially since I would NEVER even think about doing this to another person.
The cafe I picked was so cute - covered in pink flowers all over the walls, and pink neon signs and pink chairs, and pink machinery - I wanted to go there regardless!!
We arrived at the coffee shop and it lived up to my dreamy expectations. I got a coffee and it was served in a pink take-out cup. F**king cute!!!!
I checked my DMs and still no response. I was (and still am a year later) puzzled. Shocked! In utter awe of her audacity! And very very confused.

NOTES ON THIS ENTRY IN 2024:
I haven’t had any contact with her. I didn’t want to message her a bunch of times, and I honestly didn’t even ask what happened. I just wished her well when I hadn’t heard from her that day. We still follow each other. I was worried that something had happened to her but she has since posted on Instagram, so I know she’s fine. I don’t know if she ever even went to Greece like she said she was going to. I don’t know why she would ask me to hang out and then suddenly ghost? AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! This is my Roman empire.
