Welcome to Celebration by me, Amy Federman—WSJ bestselling author, idealist, sarcasmo, Philadelphian, and ambiverted former party attendee.
At this party will we celebrate things that give us a lift and elevate the human experience? Yes.
But will we sometimes use the celebratory framing as a backhanded way to complain about things that are irksome and corrosive to the human experience? Also yes.
Any good party is abuzz with lots of conversation topics, teeming with a throng of different energies—from laughter, to singing, to whispered gossip, to yelling, to wild gesticulations (yes, hand gestures are their own energy), to earnest exchanges, to drunken lumbering, to someone crying in the bathroom—and we’re going to make space for them all. Cheers.
