Ms. Popularity

4 colleagues officiated their marriages this year and last. There were 2 weddings in December and 2 earlier this month. And I was not invited for either one. Am I smelling bad or something? I'd like to take it positively however. I was not close to either one of them. And I am not normally a person whom someone considers (or remembers) for events like that.

It has always been like that somehow. I was never a popular person in school and I was on my own most of the time. I thought I was 'close enough' to one of the girls to get invited. Maybe she overruled me as a guest due to the remarks I made about her uncle. And come to think of it, I was never once considered her 'clique'. Rather, she was not in mine. In some ways it has made it uncomfortable. Do I congratulate her/them? Maybe I should. But then I should not. It's like I know of the wedding but I don't.. geddit?

Why is there a need for me to belong? Does it really matter? Not really. They do nothing for me. Having them in my life (or out of it) would not have made a difference. So why bother? Why get bitter when it doesn't matter? From this moment on, I will consider these issues as water under the bridge. It's forgiven and forgotten. I have enough things on my mind already without having to wonder at every turn whether I am popular enough to get invited to somebody's wedding. All is fine in my books and life's great for me. What's there to complain about?
