There are many moments in life that are considered the best days such as a wedding day and the birth of a baby, to name a few. The wedding day is full of stress and chaos. The birth of a baby is not as “joyous” as the majority puts it with all the bleeding, screaming and pain. We group these days as the best day but it fact it’s the things that come after the occasion that are the best days.
Key Takeaways:
- People like to point to singular moments in life in which they were singularly happy, and I understand the instinct to wrap up those moments and call them “the best,” but I just can’t.
- For women, we’re expected to boil the sum of our best experiences into one of two things: our wedding day and the day or days that mark the birth of our child or children.
- Usually the latter is expected to eclipse and replace the former. For me, it’s neither.
“I don’t ever want a best day. I want hundreds of them. My wedding was great, but how can I choose between resting my head on my husband’s shoulder for our first dance and betting him a dollar I’d never fall in love with him and then having to pay up a few months later on the beach eight years before that day?”
