Some birthdays and anniversaries don’t need balloons, glitter, or overly sweet lines that feel like they were copy pasted from a greeting card aisle that’s been dead since 2009.
I get it. Sometimes life feels more like survival than celebration, and pretending everything is sunshine just feels dishonest.
That’s where dark humor comes in the kind that laughs softly in the middle of chaos, cracks a joke while everything’s on fire, and somehow makes the moment better.
I’ve always believed that the best wishes aren’t the loudest ones. They’re the ones that feel real. The ones that say, yeah, we made it another year, somehow, despite the mess, the exhaustion, and the emotional potholes along the way.
Whether it’s a birthday or an anniversary, surviving together deserves a kind of humor that’s dry, grounded, and a little unhinged in a comforting way.
This isn’t about being negative. It’s about being honest, a little gritty, and unexpectedly funny. If love and life were easy, we wouldn’t need humor this dark to get through them.
But here we are still standing, still joking, still celebrating. And honestly, that’s worth more than cake.
