"While it would be unfair to say that nobody showing up at your [insert event
name here] is the worst feeling in the world—believe you me, there are far
worse—it’s still definitely somewhere up there.

You see, it’s more than just having wasted time, effort and money on making
things happen. It’s also nobody caring, and that hits deep in the feels.
Remember that one little girl whose party was completely empty despite her mom
inviting over 20 kids? Yeah, that kind of upsetting.

But, also, remember that the internet can sometimes be kind and supportive.
Because it always takes one to know one.

An up and coming author recently hosted a book signing for her debut novel, and
only 2 people showed up. But then the rest of the internet—namely a bunch of
authors—showed up in her Twitter comments."

Via Muse, who wrote "This happens to anyone and everyone in the arts!"
