I have a few friends coming to my Bridge event on Tuesday. I had thought they were coming for the same reasons I'm organising it. A friend this morning just said to me 'not sure quite why I'm coming, really. Just to support you, I guess, not because I think it'll make any difference'. So now I'm thinking (I am in a PMT fug, btw, so aware I'm prob being melodramatic) what's the fucking point? If I stand up to talk and am aware that potentially most of the people there are thinking 'aw, look at Flamingo, trying in a rather pathetic way to make a difference...isn't she sweet, even if she's a bit deluded', then what is the point?

Feeling very Sad and very Angry right at this moement.

Someone tell me what the point is? Will raising awareness and cash make a difference? How can I persuade myself I'm not making a complete arse of myself? How can I persuade any 'kind but cynical' supporters that there is a point in marching/protesting?

Please help! On the verge of cancelling the whole thing.

sorry i don't know what the event is flamingo, but isn't coming to support you enough for starters? you can win minds easier if you have hearts already, surely?
