Summer as a Verb, Sadness as a Noun

This shirt is for people who have spent considerable time explaining to their therapist that yes, they are aware other people work in summer, and no, this awareness has not materially changed anything. Summer used to happen to you. Now you must happen to summer. The distinction matters greatly, at least in conversation.

The sadness, naturally, is structural. It arrives with the same reliability as the country club invoice, the difficult family email, the realization that your formative years were spent acquiring skills no one has ever asked you to demonstrate. You have learned to greet it the way one greets an old acquaintance at the airport: with recognition, mild resignation, and the certainty that you will never be close enough to call.

Wear this when you need others to understand that your ennui is grammatically sound, linguistically precise, and absolutely the fault of your upbringing.
