Things We Forget

  • Fix It Day

    Everyone fixes one broken thing—an old friendship, a fence, a forgotten dream.

  • Persistence Day

    Celebrated by athletes and artists alike, this day reminds the world that persistence often beats talent.

  • The Great Reconnect

    No phones. No rush. People spend the day reconnecting with each other. The Wi-Fi cannot be found, but kindred spirits find each other again.

  • Scar Day

    On Scar Day, every scar is celebrated. To celebrate, survivors of violence tell their stories as victors who refused to let it define them.

  • Conquering Fear Day

    Everyone chooses one thing they have avoided doing because of fear—and does it anyway.

  • Build Bridges Day

    On this day, enemies talk. Strangers connect. More people listen without interrupting. It’s not about agreement—it’s about understanding.

  • Sunrise Festival

    Communities stay up all night together, then they dance with the sunrise.

  • Brave “No” Day

    People celebrate the power of saying “no”—to burnout, to disrespect, to staying small. Because boundaries build better brains.

  • Endurance Day

    Caregivers, dreamers, police who catch bad guys – This day honors their quiet strength. Not loud success, but the endurance behind it.

  • Gratitude Day

    This day is devoted to thanking people who shaped your path. Growth sometimes hides in the hard parts of life.
