Holiday #1 of 4

Gold Lining Day

Gold Lining Day is that annual group hallucination where we all agree to hunt for the “good” in whatever dumpster fire we’ve been marinating in, like optimism is a coupon you forgot to use.

People swap stories, force gratitude through clenched teeth, and pretend their character development didn’t come with property damage. It’s absurd on purpose, which is the only kind of tradition I trust, and it’s here to remind you that even rock bottom has a gift shop if you look hard enough.
