42. Surviving is Nothing to Sneeze At

In a world that’s spinning faster than a carousel, sometimes just hanging on for the ride is a big win. These two look like they’ve been through the wringer and came out with a “Survivor” badge pinned on their lapels. It’s like life tossed everything at them but the kitchen sink, and they caught it all with grace.

Sure, they didn’t climb Everest or write the next bestseller, but they’re here, and that’s plenty. Cheers to making it through another trip around the sun. Sometimes, just sticking it out is the grandest adventure of them all.
